“You Made Me Do It”
For about four years, I worked in an agency that provided shelter, counseling, police protection, and legal services to victim of domestic violence, and so I’m more than acquainted with many of the excuses batterers employ to deflect blame after they’ve given their partner another black eye or broken wrist.
One of them is “you made [...]
Funny Jokes
While you consider the health care bill, with its restrictions on abortion access, I’d like you to consider the following funny jokes embedded in the Democratic Party Platform(pardon the pdf):

“The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to choose a [...]
Classy Teabaggers Mock Guy with Parkinsons
Seriously, how fucked up and evil can you get?

Here’s something I just don’t get about conservatives.

The Gift That Keeps On Giving
You may remember that last year, I went to the Philadelphia pathetic hissy fit Tea Bag Party, and had some fun at the expense of the lunatics. One of the shots my brother Ray took may have even ended up on Bill O’Reilly’s show, described as “so cile I can’t show it” or some such [...]

The young woman pictured above is Jennifer Hardy, or as i’m calling her, “the Torture Princess”:
The Torture Memos will forever be known as the work of John Yoo, the former Office of Legal Counsel lawyer who took the lead in preparing them. But the internal Justice Department report on the memos, released Friday, reveals that [...]
SMACKDOWN
On Valentine’s Day, one of my favorite cartoons, the family guy aired an episode in which one of the main characters woos and dates a girl with Down Syndrome (you can watch it at the link, but warning: NSFW).
If you’ve watched the show, you know that calling Family Guy’s humor “caustic” is like calling John [...]
One of These Things is Not Like the Other
Via Wonkette, see if you can spot the difference between these two photos, and why the first picture is OFFENSIVE TO ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY and the other is PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE?
OH. MY. GOD.
YAAAAAWN
And yes, the wingnut brigade is FLIPPING OUT, which makes it hilarious.
Let’s Not, and Say We Did
The NY Times’ Ross Douthat wants Democrats to make a deal with Republicans on health care. Here we go again.
You don’t even have to read the article to know that it’s a hopeless clutter of gibberish and magical thinking, but because I love you dammit I tried to get more than a paragraph in…
Even in [...]
