I have to apologize in advance for some potentially insensitive things I'm gonna say about dead people, but this stuff has me bouncing between rage and apathy like a goddamn ping pong ball.

Here we have two stories that perfectly sum up the fucked-up values of America's religious conservatives. Let's start with this: Republicans Are Pissed About Crackdowns on Vaccine Exemptions The fight against measles in a handful of states is facing staunch opposition from Republicans and anti-vaxx parents as lawmakers crack down on exemptions that let kids...

Normally I'd never compare anything to Hitler, because honestly whenever anyone does that they've basically torpedoed their argument. But finally I might have something, and I don't think Godwin's Law applies because the comparison is becoming more and more valid by the day. What we're hearing coming out of the mouths of the right wing lately is fucking scary.... Continue Reading →
I have a certain family member who subscribes to the "Obama's a Muslim" school of paranoid and irrational conservative thinking. She knows -- for a fact! -- he's a Muslim, because he wears a ring that says so. Well that's a new one for me, so I asked for details. Apparently he wears a ring that... Continue Reading →

The nutbags behind this push for drug testing were really, really hoping to find widespread abuse and fraud. Because, you know, all them welfare folks are just lazy moochers who don't wanna work, right? What they found was next to nothing.

Not all conservative citizens feel this way, but it rings pretty damn true if you listen to what's been coming out of the mouths of 90% of the right-wing politicians.

Robert Reich recently posted this on Facebook and it really struck a chord with me. Tea Party people like to say that guys like this are the extremists and not the norm, but I think we all know that's not entirely accurate. Yeah, he may be a little crazier than most in the party (women as human... Continue Reading →
I think more people don't seem to care about this because the American media shies away from calling it "terrorism" when some Christian wingnut shoots up an abortion clinic or bombs a mosque or synagogue. They don't want Mr. and Mrs. Middle America thinking that Americans can be terrorists. No, those are the people who follow... Continue Reading →
I lost my dad to Fox News: How a generation was captured by thrashing hysteria Old, white, wrinkled and angry, they are slipping from polite society in alarming numbers.

As George Carlin so wonderfully put it: "pro-life" conservatives don't give a shit about you after you're born -- until you reach military age, that is. No matter how a child is conceived, be it rape or incest or plain ol' lack of planning, they want that thing born no matter what, even if... Continue Reading →
While I don't know if "haboob" is the "correct term" for a dust storm, since most T.V. weatherfolk are likely to just call it a dust storm, it's still entertaining to see the flag-waving draggers of knuckles get their racist panties in a twist when that word is used.
