Hurt Piece
How it hurts when someone I consider a friend and even a mentor writes some shit that is so crazy and so naive I can’t get past the first few grafs. What too few people realize is that Ralph Nader is not as progressive as they think. That’s not an argument worth making right [...]

KKKonservapedia 
Apparently Phyllis Schlafly’s new Conservapedia considers Brown v. Board of Education to be a most egregious example of judicial activism.

Whitewashing Romney’s Evangelical Problem 
While Romney’s own campaign worries his Mormonism could turn off Republican primary voters, Fox News has routinely portrayed the base’s hostility to Romney’s faith as an invention of the liberal media.

But has anyone noticed that both Bill Richardson and Tom Vilsack condemned David Geffen’s remarks, or at least suggested that “name calling” is [...]

Sweet Anti-Semitism

When Borat takes his coffee break, he reaches for imported Croatian sugar packets. Not only are they sweet, they’re decorated with images of Der Fuhrer beside some hilarious Jew jokes. Croatians are reportedly outraged…not!
