From Saturday Night Massacre at A World of Progress by News Writer:Health care — all of it, including abortion, shouldn’t be a political issue, any more than the civil rights of any of the population. For all the right’s fearmongering that a Democratic health care bill would do things like create death panels and rationing of care, that’s exactly what we have now, and what the right wants to

The final vote on HR 3962, the Health Care Reform Bill, in the US House of Reprehensibles was:220-215 (218 needed for passage)All but one Republican voted against it, which is no great surprise (the surprise was that one - Joseph Cao of Louisiana - voted for it), but 39 Democrats apparently felt that they don't want their jobs anymore so they voted against it.Also in the bill is the Stupid - er,

Allow me to introduce Samantha (Sam) Vreeland and her husband Max. She's a badger, standing about five feet nine; he's an Island fox, the smallest of the North American vulpine species (and is very happy with that).Both of them are dressed in the duty uniform of the Rain Island Naval Syndicate, an anarcho-syndicalist military force found in the Spontoon Island universe. She's a captain, he's a

A bit of setup, first:Last night on MSNBC's The Ed Show, former Congresscritter and right-wing boob Tom Tancredo was holding forth against government-run health care. His target du jour was the Veteran's Administration, which he stated was despised by veterans.Unfortunately for "No Habla Espanol" Tancredo, he was debating Markos Moulitsas, blogger, veteran and not one to be trifled with.

It warms the cockles of my heart to see Palin's candidate go down in flames. She lost the seat which would have gone Republican anyway. And what the hell was she doing sleazing around in NY State anyway? Get over yourself, Sarah. You suck.

Something to think about this election day: The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject. ~Marcus AureliusWe have local elections today and it's utterly impossible to figure out who to vote for. It's all the same shit as usual... doesn't matter which party... just the usual power grab.This morning, Cindy Sheehan wrote on Facebook, "Free Dumb ain't Free."

I can't read anymore of the "top news stories" out there. It's making me crazy, so I go hang out at 'cracked'.

I will read foreign news websites as a matter of course in order to build up a more comprehensive view of the news than the pablum offered up by the American cable news networks. I ran across a speech given back on October 24th by Paul McGeough, a senior reporter for Australia's Sydney Morning Herald.In the speech, Mr. McGeough has some unkind but prophetic things to say about our war in

I’ve never been one to subscribe to the notion that bad shit happens for a reason. There’s no moral, no silver lining, no lesson to be learned from the death of a child – especially when that death is at some monsters hands. I’ve noticed pundits and newscasters no longer even try to classify something like this. They just report that it happened – then go for the money shots photographing and

Yes, the election of Barack Obama last November signaled the possibility of change in this great land of ours. And nowhere was that more apparent than in the fecundity and amativity (or, 'horniness') of Republican men.As reported by ABC News, a study showed that testosterone levels in men who voted for John McCain or Robert Barr dropped about 40 minutes after Obama's election was announced,

How nice to read that US drones bombing the shit out of Pakistan have been killing a large number of innocent civilians. NOTRemember this story from August 2008?

From Agence France-Presse comes this horrifying story about the US' practice of executing prisoners: Screams of pain, burned flesh, long delays hallmark US executions In many cases prisoners end up being brutally tortured to death because of complications with lethal injections and faulty electric chairs. Supposedly our executions should be more or less "painless" but they aren't at all. There

So what do you make of all this hoo hah about Rush Limbaugh wanting to buy an NFL team? Makes you wonder if he deliberately wanted to be maligned by the NFL so that he could make an issue about it and turn his millions of listeners against the NFL. Or maybe not. But then again, he is a very rich, conservative white male and has the GOP in his pocket or vice versa or both and may be able to bully

This sounds like an interesting book. The Case For GodKaren Armstrong says in a Wapo article, The Case for 'Faith', not 'Belief', this morning:Like a myth, a religious doctrine is essentially a program of action.
