The Democratic National Committee has created a brutal website WhichMitt.com that shows up some of Mitt Romney’s more egregious flip-flops, using only his own words (including video). As Politico puts it “It’s not just what he says, but the total forcefulness and sincerity with which he says it.” Here’s just one example — Romney on […]
© Lee Judge I guess the only freedom that matters to some people is the freedom to consume. UPDATE: And no, the government did not ban incandescent light bulbs.
Around 38 US states have adopted “fetal homicide” laws that were intended to protect pregnant women and their unborn children from attacks from third parties (such as abusive partners). But these laws are increasingly being used to prosecute the women themselves. For example: A pregnant woman in Indiana became despondent after her boyfriend abandoned her […]
© Matt Bors Alabama governor Robert Bentley signed into law the nation’s nastiest immigration law, which requires local police to detain anyone suspected of being an undocumented immigrant. You can easily guess how that will end up — anyone who looks the slightest bit Mexican will get hassled and will have to carry citizenship papers […]
Even Stephen Colbert falls out of character and cracks up laughing: Colbert followed up by tweeting more statements not intended to be factual: Jon Kyl actually prefers Hydrox to Oreos. #NotIntendedToBeAFactualStatement Jon Kyl = ax2 + bx + c #NotIntendedToBeAFactualStatement Jon Kyl developed his own line of hair care products just so he could test […]
© Jen Sorensen How can people who claim to be against the “nanny state” be for anti-abortion counseling? If they are actually trying to protect people, then it would make more sense to require counseling before you order a drink in a bar, but don’t have a designated driver.
[From Rockett Power.] UPDATE: This is the kind of thing that happens when you take away a women’s right to make basic medical decisions about her own body.

[I’m reprinting this from Margaret and Helen. There is a followup posting there that you should read as well. – iron knee] I told you, Margaret. It’s only just beginning. Texas Governor Rick Perry said he will introduce emergency legislation requiring women seeking abortions to first get a sonogram of the fetus and listen to […]
© Mike Luckovich The new Republican-controlled House voted to repeal Obama’s Health Care Reform act. But they didn’t propose anything to replace it, and even some conservative Republicans think the effort is more about posturing than about actually doing something. So what’s next? While most Americans want some action on the economy, the Republicans have […]
© Ruben Bolling Defeated by our own lofty principles, indeed. This comic is ironic on so many different levels, but if the right-wing can scream about anchor babies and terror babies, why not?
The Republicans have been making a big stink about the health care bill paying for abortions. But Politico has found that the insurance plan that the Republican National Committee offers to its employees pays for elective abortions. Their health insurance company, Cigna, says that the RNC has the option of not covering abortions, but has […]
There is a new website http://iamdrtiller.com/ devoted to the memory of Dr. George Tiller, the abortion doctor who was shot and killed in his church. The site contains letters and photos sent in from people. In some (but not all) of the photos, people are holding signs saying “I am Dr. Tiller” over their faces. […]
