Rachel Maddow demolishes Rand Paul – Joan Walsh – Salon.com
Just love the sub-title:
The Tea Party favorite says he’d have marched with Martin Luther King Jr., but he opposes the law that forced businesses to serve him
Think about that for a minute. Not too long. Your head may hurt.
Rand Paul thinks it was OK to refuse to seat African Americans at lunch counters or top make them sit at the back of the bus.
Tea Baggers are such fucking pussies. Just come out and say your racist ass thinks only whites are “True Americans” you spineless redneck.

Me too. I fault them.
…And US regulatory forces.
…And BP. Let’s not forget them. Just because it is cheaper to do something a certain way doesn’t mean a business has to do it.

It’s a shame we have steered away from programs like this. Society benefits and it is the right thing to do?
How does society benefit by being “soft on crime?” Economically for one. Taxpayers are preferable to inmates.

Not too hard to connect the dots.
Why is this treated as anything other than ugly facts? Who is stupid enough to think it is only a remote possibility? No, seriously, I want names so I can make fun of these people.

If anyone other than a cop’s gun had gone off and shot and killed a seven year old girl that person would be arrested, accident or no.
The officer shouldn’t be suspended, he should be prosecuted.

China complains after diplomat assaulted in Texas | Reuters
I know China likes to “choose” what news and information are available to their population but seriously…
Ah, China?
This is the kind of thing that is going to happen if you don’t use google. People of ethnicity got harassed in Texas? Shocking! OK, not so much. See China, if you had googled first you’d know this is par for the course.
Why the hell did you have diplomats in Texas, anyways? Do what everyone else does when they are confronted with the idea of being in Texas: eat some BBQ, go to Austin and then get the hell out!
Duh…
Earth to Far Left – No one pulls support from Israel
UC Berkeley Student Senate Fails to Override Veto of Israel Divestment Measure
So… this is really news?
Earth to Far Left:
No one pulls support from the Israeli government even if they are keeping an entire people as prisoners of war in a fenced off area without a steady supply of food, energy, water, medical supplies, or education for their children.
It’s just not done.
Checkpoints and a caste system based on ethnicity? Nothing to see here, move along!

Axelrod: No new drilling until answers on accident
Axelrod: No new drilling until answers on accident – Yahoo! News
Scrambling to remove the egg on their faces the Obama administration decided -within a month of lifting the ban on off shore drilling that perhaps we’d better not do any drilling until we can be reasonably sure it is safe. Oops.
Wow, I am so underwhelmed. What a courageous stand! What environmentalists these guys are, so ahead of the game on public safety! So above caving into corporate interests and over-looking at the impact on the environment and American citizens. Did the White House suddenly realize these affected citizens could also be voters?
Some economists Lose Faith in Stimulus Package
Some economists lose faith in the stimulus package – CSMonitor.com
“After hearing them clamor so long for new stimulus and additional bailouts, we now hear they’ve changed their tune. The government-supplied “antidote” to the financial crisis was initially hailed as saving the nation, and perhaps the entire world, from depression. Now, a new survey of economists shows that they have actually decided, in looking back, that the whole stimulus basically wasn’t needed.”
Why is this shocking?
Anyone?
Bueller?
Bueller?
Anyone???
These guys change their tune every six weeks.
