Recently, some right-wing lunatics got it in their heads to execute the citizen’s arrest of a Tennessee grand jury foreman. The reason? He had refused to convene a grand jury to investigate the legitimacy of the Obama presidency after a group of Birthers, calling themselves The American Grand Jury, demanded he do so. One member [...]

I’ve forced myself to look at a few comment threads over the past few days where conservatives have been voicing their displeasure about the health care bill. Sorry, that’s a bit too mild. I should say, where conservatives have been screaming in rage about the health care bill. I’ve seen several comments that the liberals [...]

If you look back through the 20th century at most of the major social legislation passed by the US Congress, the Republicans have been on the wrong side almost every single time. Major reforms that they opposed include FDR’s New Deal, the Civil Rights Act and Medicare, among others. Based on their record, it seems [...]

Were I J. Jonah Jameson, I might have titled this post “The Teabagger Menace”.

I’m long overdue for heaping praise upon some deserving idiot out there. When I left my house this morning, I was all set to bestow the honor upon a certain slipping, sliding swine for his astute assault on the fashion sense of “garden-variety liberals.” But, I’ll save my comments on his inanity for another post.

We humans often encounter situations which stimulate instinctive behavior. Usually, such behavior is signaled by the release of hormones by the endocrine system. While this internal biological process is beyond our control, we often do have the capacity to control our reaction externally. Perhaps the most common stimuli that we encounter in our daily lives [...]

Finally, someone with a theological career is willing to publicly acknowledge that homosexuality may be proven to be based in biology. Sounds like a wonderful thing, right? Finally, one of those wingnuts is actually getting it. Yeah, well, not so much. While other conservative Christians attacked him for going against the party line, homosexuals were [...]
