Pope Bill Rides Some More !

Egad! Bill Donohue is the 'burst capillary' of voices for Catholic thinking. His energy is found in that part of nature not enjoyed by sentient beings. Steer away...

Tesla In The Sky With Diamonds

As a guy pushing the envelope, Musk leaves so many people behind that all they can do is mumble inanities and call their lawyers. I back the guy over the barking dogs all day long...!

10 Boys Arrested For Allegedly Using Snapchat To Make Child Porn

10 Boys Arrested For Allegedly Using Snapchat To Make Child Porn

If the result is as you describe, then this is reasonable. But too many resume building prosecutors are roaming the land and often snag easy targets, and sensational media coverage. Adolescence is a tough gig; we all go through it and, thankfully, most of us survive with great memories, exciting anecdotes, and no permanent harm to anyone. Let's hope that these kids avoid the mincemeat machine.

French Newspaper Removes All Pictures To Show Importance Of Photographers

Yeah, and that's the real sour part of all this. Editors have learned that the general public will accept lower standards than what is offered by professionals - and publishers now know that they can move closer to cheap by borrowing into those new standards - even though it decimates the ranks of an amazing art and craft in the process. If people can accept a Skype interview on major television, and digest pixelated selfies and artless composition, then these are the bad days for yet another part of humanity coming up against the juggernaut of technology and the internet.

White House Unveils Obamacare Fix For Canceled Health Plans

...yeah, we all wish we'd elected the gazillionaire Mormon with no bedside manner, nothing on his mind but hair, and a disdain for everything except cash.

A Terrible Man

Cohen is still oozing awfullness; these days to such a degree that it seems almost medical. But it is merely the natural quickening of fear and hatred that envelopes late-term conservatives. Not to worry - when he starts screaming into gay bars, or yelling obsenities at some hostess with bare arms, just call the cops. 

...going classless.

Butt-sniffing Pot Cops on call...

It seems like sanity and irony can co-exist in Colorado - good to know! Surely, at the end of Prohibition, there were thousands of cops who recognized the foolishness that had occupied their working lives for so many years. If we want to follow justice, then we absolutely need just laws to support it.

The Old Factory Stew

No Union? You'll have to break a leg for a day off...

It's awful to feel trapped, and even worse to actually be trapped. Fear of loss of lifestyle, and unease about basic survival, is out there, loose in the American Shire. Feeding on that are red-state baggers and others, who know nothing of value to civil society and have relentlessly attacked the American core  - convincing crowds to trade their future security for the horrendous lie that they will have a better, more honorable life alone in the world; with a tiny, shackled government.

But make no mistake, these people, and their ideas, are unstable at the core, and they are terrified of those of us who choose to band together to pursue happiness in healthy, safer and more secure circumstances - involving our government resources if needed.

Fixing all this means that we have to act decisively against the bad actors, steering them into a thoroughly foul ditch, and denying every iota of respect for their ideas; and for all of them personally and publicly.

Take a break, break a leg

Kelly Ayotte Calls For Obamacare 'Time-Out'

What about the fact that everyone is watching the T-baggers crashing the GOP prom and vowing to never fund public bathrooms until Obamacare explodes and all liberals are exported? How the fudge do you have a bipartisan negotiation with that?

Kelly Ayotte Calls For Obamacare 'Time-Out'

Kelly Ayotte Calls For Obamacare 'Time-Out'

Some of them can't even "stand to look at" Obama, much less talk with him - in fact, just being around tolerant or compassionate or inclusive people makes a rightie go all queazy. They actually hide all night in bars and alleys, and then rush to get to Fox before the sun comes up, to prep for their daily fact-free pronouncements.

Graham explains new rules for women.

I am without any sense of common citizenship with today's Republicans. They are created a sea of yachts in a world of need, fear and powerlessness, and now they are coming in through the bedroom window with new rules and new dreads. "At 20 weeks your ass is mine", says Graham
