on October 27th, 2012 at 9:03 pm

Maybe, Just Maybe…

on October 27th, 2012 at 11:09 am

Maybe a candidate who takes the advice and money of billionaires and right wing nuts really will give them the keys to the White House. Maybe a super-rich aristocrat pushing policies that benefit the rich and punish the poor really is trying to divide America. Maybe a guy who wears brownface, feels Mexicans mistreated him, and opposes the Dream Act […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Karl Rove’s Benghazi Attacks Have Roots in Utah

on October 17th, 2012 at 10:06 pm

What’s up with Republicans Picking Bad Vice-Presidents?

on October 12th, 2012 at 12:20 pm

This is not a new phenomenon. Dwight Eisenhower famously picked red-baiting Richard Nixon as his VP. Asked if he could say something good that Nixon had done after he left office, Ike said, “If you give me a week, I might think of one.” Tricky Dick went on to gain the presidency, and, before he […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

on October 8th, 2012 at 3:32 am

I suppose it’s too much to ask that Republicans celebrate good economic news, but I was floored when so many of Mitt Romney’s backers flipped out and started spreading ludicrous conspiracy theories like rabid dogs going after their tails.

The Authoritarianism of Mormonism

on October 5th, 2012 at 3:05 am

If there’s one thing a good Mormon learns early on, is that membership in the church requires complete and blind obedience to church authority.
