  • FL Judge Ignores Law, Forces 13 Year Old to Have Baby

    A pregnant 13-year-old girl in Florida has been told she cannot have an abortion because she lacks the maturity to make such a decision. The judge’s ruling comes in spite of Florida state law which specifically does not require a minor to seek parental consent before an abortion. A judge decided to chuck state law […]

  • Anderson Cooper Interviews Jeff Gannon

    Cooper takes on everybody’s favorite press trollop. Squirm squirm! He plays wounded bird but Andy (I can call him Andy right?) nails him. What a dick. MediaMatters has the QuickTime video.

  • Sex Offender Registries and Privacy Rights

    I was thinking about the guy that killed that girl in Florida and how he was a registered sex offender. I am not sure that a state sex offender registry violates his privacy rights or not… doesn’t it? If he served his time, doesn’t he have the right to his own privacy? Does his crime […]

  • The Passion of Terry Schiavo

    I can’t believe Tom DeLay invoked the Passion week during his speech. The parents of Terry have said that even if Terry asked to not be kept alive in this state that they still wouldn’t grant her wishes. Rep Trent Franks (R) Arizona – “Judges who’ve lost their way.” WTF? And then he invoked the […]

  • New York Times Catches on to VNRs

    Under the Bush administration,” they write, “the federal government has aggressively used a well-established tool of public relations: the prepackaged, ready-to-serve news report that major corporations have long distributed to TV stations to pitch everything from headache remedies to auto insurance. In all, at least 20 federal agencies, including the Defense Department and the Census […]

  • Ann Coulter: Femme-bot

    Chrisafer points to this great rant on everybody’s favorite right-wing fluffergirl: I would give my eye teeth – eat my hair – live a life of celibacy – just to watch that bitch go down in a scandal of flames. She is an embarrassment to thinking women everywhere. How DARE she RANT about ‘feminists’. She’d […]

  • Beyond Teflon

    I don’t know what to do but laugh. The man does exactly the opposite of what he says he does and yet people buy it, support it and breathe it as if it were the oxygen that sustained their very existence. When he says “we’ve increased funding for…” I automatically assume that it means the […]

  • Creative America and Tom Tresser

    Jesus Christ it snowed. And snowed. And snowed. I got up this morning to go to a seminar and thought – oh hell – it’s gonna be ugly outside. But then I thought The people at the seminar are gonna be the real die-hards if they had to trudge through snow to get there. I […]

  • Barbara Boxer is My New Girlfriend

    Anybody else catch the steaming of the Rice? Boxer raked her over the goals – Kerry did alright too – though he still remains so damned long-winded. I don’t believe anything Condi Rice says at all. And the constant allusions to her special relationship with the President make me sort of disgusted. I’m thinkin it’s […]

    Fantastic video of John Stewart tearing Ashcroft’s testimony apart. (via BoingBoing)
