As a part of their campaign to undermine science education in the public schools, Christian fundamentalists frequently promote a book titled Of Pandas and People. These “intelligent design” proponents, creationists by another name, consistently try to induce state agencies and local school districts to adopt Pandas as a “supplemental text” for use in biology courses, [...]
Like a teenager who moves out, but still mooches off his parents for food, gas and laundry, Texas Gov. Rick Perry recently obliquely threatened to secede from the union. While addressing a bunch of tea baggers at one of their tax day bitch-ins, Perry told the crowd he didn’t believe they were all “right-wing extremists,” [...]

The Wesboro Baptist Church of Topeka, KS has built their sterling reputation for batshittery by engaging in a continuous nationwide-tour of biblical homophobia, protesting the funerals of soldiers, productions of Rent, schools named after Walt Whitman, and any variety of high profile events that have nothing to do with homosexuality.
As I’ve written before, the Phelps [...]

If the New York Times had a story about how Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) is older than dirt, yet refuses to retire from public service, stating his exact age would be relevant to the article.

The vast majority of police officers in the United States are honorable men and women dedicating–and sometimes risking–their lives to protect and serve the public. Then there are also some dicks in blue–the type for whom their badge serves as passport for an ego trip.
I would consider Sgt. Raul Ramirez of El Paso, TX one [...]
My slightly unhealthy obsession with Senator Russ Feingold (D-Wisconsin) is no secret amongst the Dogoods. I find his stance on capital punishment, the automatic pay increases of the House and Senate, among others issues, and his role as the sole dissenter against the so-called Patriot Act, admirable. He seems to exude good, Mid-Western, common sense, [...]

Not TORTURE! No, that sits just fine with their consciences, but knowing about it is wrong/sad/anti-American. Perhaps a couple of water-boarding sessions might change their minds? Starting with “Catholic” columnist, Peggy Noonan! Whom would Jesus scourge, Peggy?

I think the term “Nazi” is heavily overused, and today, Holocaust remembrance day, is as good a time as any to bring attention to the disparity. Obama, for example, is neither a Nazi nor Hitler. Not that the GOP and the tea baggers, like this rather well-fed protester, would agree.
It seems utterly barbaric to cheapen [...]

I’ve always had strong doubts about the case against Amanda Knox and her Italian boyfriend Raffaelle Sollecito, who are currently on trial in Perugia, Italy for the murder of Knox’s British roommate Meredith Kercher.
But it wasn’t until I watched CBS’s 48 Hours investigation of the case that I realized how truly insane the Italian prosecutor [...]

A camera-phone vid of the public flogging by Islamist douchebags, one of whom was her own brother, of a veiled, under-aged Pakistani girl from the Swat valley has set the international news media and blogosphere abuzz.

Bristol Palin’s baby daddy appeared on the Tyra Banks show this morning. Levi Johnston talked about sex, how Gov. Palin knew her daughter was having sex, how aforementioned sex created a baby, and a bunch of other things.

I have watched with endless fascination the rise of Sarah Palin, from little-known Governor of Alaska to McCain’s stunning, if gaffe-prone, VP candidate with a penchant for “terrorist” outing. And she is fascinating. Attractive, winsome, folksy and cute, Gov. Palin manages to get away with the bare minimum of actual governance in Alaska, preferring to [...]

In the New York Times today, Andrew Ross Sorkin describes the AIG employees expecting fat bonuses as “brainiacs” in justifying the need to retain their services for the ailing company. But the way he lays out the case makes them sound more like criminal masterminds than masters of finance.

Ambassador Chas Freeman is a brilliant man. I occasionally attend a salon he frequents, and have always found his comments insightful, his questions probing.

It was only in the past five years that the Roman Catholic Church finally decided women still deserve respect if they choose to work outside the home, so it’s a given the pontiff doesn’t express the most progressive views on the female role in society.
But in its latest affront to feminine dignity, the Vatican has [...]
Conservative politicunt Ann Coulter hallucinates about demons of liberal bias whenever a member of the media decides not to interview her or quote her generally inconsistent, regularly factually unsound, and often offensive tripe.

Michael Steele, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, is learning who’s really the BIG boss of the Republican Party.

Since Blackwater began the first stage of a re-branding campaign by changing its name to Xe two weeks ago, a heated debate broke out behind the scenes at Wikipedia.
First, site contributors debated and reversed a “unilateral” move that had re-directed Blackwater searches to Xe. But since then, Xe has won out, becoming the only portal [...]
One aspect of the dramatic rise and criminal fall of Dusty Foggo that has caused much confusion concerns why Porter Goss promoted the mid-level logistics officer to the position of Executive Director of the CIA.

A bank that received bank $1.6 billion in US taxpayer money as part of the TARP Capital Purchase Program (CPP) in November, and which laid off 4% of its workforce (450 people) right before Christmas, has come under fire for spending hundreds of thousands–if not millions–of dollars to sponsor a golf tournament in LA last [...]
