HCR bill likely to deny women the basic right to health care. Srsly Centrists, You Want to Pass This? SRSLY???

01-26-10 6:39 P GMT-08

The bill as it stands makes second class citizens of women solely based on the genetic makeup of their bodies. And yet we are told just to get in line and support it. Right.

Raw Stroy: Teabaggers Threaten American Cartoonist

01-11-10 6:19 P GMT-08

Much like the Muslims have threatened a Danish cartoonist over his depiction of Mohammed, the teabagger movement has recently had members threatening Mark Fiore a brilliant video hurmorist over video about how to speak like a "tea bagger". The cartoon premiered in November, but Bill O'Reilly recently used it to assert that NPR which hosts Fiores video cartoon on their site is too liberal.

Mitt Romney Vote Fraud

01-09-10 6:19 P GMT-08

Mitt Romney voted in recent MA election despite having sold his last home in the state by using his son's address and has sent mai-in ballot for January's special election for senator. I doubt that qualifies as legal in anyway but mainstream news media's eyes. I'm evem betting. That's more voterfraud than ever proven against ACORN or it's associates or employees (which BTW was nil)

The Marriage Revolution Struggle Will Be Televised! Proposition 8 Trial will be shown on YouTube

01-08-10 6:17 P GMT-08

The right screams that their witnesses will be intimidated. People might also see that Ken Starr (Yes, that Ken Starr who often goes by the name Kenneth these days) is one of their main lawyers too. The judge will be able to decide if witness faces and voices should be changed. But what about their names? Ted+Olson (Argued the Bush side in Bush v Gore) is part of the team. Some wonder if the suit is just to nationally outlaw SSM before the coinservatives lose their majority. (The word is that Justice Kennedy is looking towards retirement.) But will the closet cases among conservatives turn the tables?

Juan Cole Offers Reality on The Latest Iran News

Another great piece from Cole This one is explaining how we should deal with Iran and why you should believe little of what you read in the papers and nothing from Murdoch's rags. (Actually he passes you on to arms control specialist Gareth Porter for rebuttal to Murdoch's London Times assertions about nuclear trigger plans found in Iran.)

The Ady Gil Sinks. And the LA Times Tells Us Who the Heck Ady Gil Is

01-08-10 9:22 A GMT-08

I heard the Ady Gil was provided to Sea Shepherd by someone connected to Hollywood, and today's LA Times report on the final sinking of the former "Earthrace" tells us that the benefactor is one Ady Gil. Details at link. I'm sure the Japanese already know this and will try to attack both Ady Gil proper and Bob Barker in the usual personal attack style of right wingers, neocons, and corporatists world wide.

The Above Linkblogs Might Contain "Borrowed" links.

Linkblogs do not substantially contribute traffic to my blog that I can discover. They all go offsite, and are often accessed from my blog. It's possible to access them from the RSS according to my settings. Still, even if I were to get ads clicking on a linkblog from the RSS won't drive more people to my blog than otherwise because they leave my resources. (Note to self, do more posts, less LBs with sources I find). I explain because I sometimes borrow links from people at Twitter, and often forget who put them up. (To fellow Twitterers: If you have a link to your blog, I will point it there, but Twitter, being impermanent, cannot hold your link for people to discover from there. I only 'borrow' them to get news out to as many people as I can who might not have seen the reports and videos found by the smart people I follow at Twitter or find in search rooms.

Amazing! He has hardly changed at all.

He's still into pushing gimmicks for self promotion.

I'm sorry the teaparty crowd can't see that Beck is just pushing them towards sedition in order to make Big Money

I hope women can see through him at least these days after he said Sarah Palin belongs in a kitchen.
