Barack Obama went forward yesterday. The world was rocked. Internet Rock Star George Takei, who seemingly hasn’t a serious bone in his body, got serious. Twitterers tweeted like twittering machines. Republican Andrew Sullivan has a great take on the momentous announcement by President Obama’s that he supports gay marriage. Heck, Andrew Sullivan thinks this will help [...]

In response to Richard Nixon’s offensive in Cambodia, begun on April 30, 1970, students all over the nation began to protest. In Kent, Ohio, the home of the state’s regional college, Kent State University, the protests were fierce. Republican Governor James Rhodes, a “law and order” type, brought in the National Guard and personally oversaw operations [...] This is what Mr. Romney’s supporters say. Mr. Romney’s detractors always knew it. And so, one more time, it appears that Mitt Romney is a captive of hate groups. Alas, that appears to be what it means to be a Republican today. Meanwhile, though Mitt Romney is now the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party [...] As far as I can tell, Jason Todd Ready, who yesterday killed a few family members and then, presumably, himself, seemed proud of his affiliations with Neo-Nazis and illegal militias. Was he as equally proud of his affiliation with the Republican Party? Gosh, who knows? It is all so open to interpretation. Hey, I’ve got [...] Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser, currently the target of an ethics probe for choking fellow Justice Ann Walsh Bradley, claimed today that it is constitutionally illegal to investigate his actions under the First Amendment to the Constitution. Nevermind any Wisconsin law, I suppose. Here’s what he said, as reported by the Wisconsin State Journal: [...] I don’t attack Ann Romney for her role as a stay-at-home Mom. When she says something like this, as she did at a speech in Stamford, CT yesterday, I understand that being at home with her boys is a rigorous duty, and important. “I know what’s like to finish the laundry and to look in [...] Of course she didn’t. She’s just not stupid. Here’s the quote, supposedly spoken by Ann Romney at a “Moms for Mitt” group outside Philadelphia. It is satire from this Free Wood place, but someone at DailyKos got fooled. “Why should women be paid equal to men? Men have been in the working world a lot longer [...] I recently returned from a cruise on the Royal Caribbean ship Mariner of the Seas (a redundant name, given that a mariner always ships on the seas). We sailed from Galveston, to Honduras and Belize and Cozumel. That doesn’t matter here. Interestingly, they have art auctions on those ships, and the big draw is Thomas [...] It is time to confront the whole Trayvon Martin mess. I have taken too long to do so, and can only plead that the issue hits too close to home for me to have written calmly about the issue. You see, I have an African American son. There he is in his cowboy hat from [...] Mitt admits that he’s just not plugged in. Hey, everyone knows you have to plug in your robot once in a while. But Mitt is not plugged in on this one. From the New York Daily News: President Obama is notoriously mad about March, obsessively filling out his NCAA tournament bracket every year. Mitt Romney? [...] |
