In what is probably the most irresponsible blog title of the week, BARN’s “Veganism Kills” parrots Glenn Reynolds - who parrots Nina Planck who wrote “Death by Veganism” in the NYT. All of them miss the point entirely. Instead of focusing on the tragedy of a 6 month old starving to death and […]

What’s wrong with this picture:

WHITE HOUSE (AP) - Trying to defend his war strategy, President Bush has declassified intelligence asserting that Osama bin Laden ordered a top lieutenant in early 2005 to form a terrorist cell that would conduct attacks outside Iraq, and that the U.S. should be the top target.
Renew the “why haven’t […]

Last night over at BSB, bryan had a nice post about how the proposed changes in the concealed carry law (as pointed out by Jill) would make it easier to carry a concealed weapon than to vote.
Ignoring the irony that the wingnuts work like hell to restrict people’s right to vote while working to allow […]

If you’ve noticed an absence of over-the-top posting by our favorite foaming at the mouth RABid boy Matt Naugle, it could be because he got called on the carpet. Word on the street is that Matt has made some in the GOP party ranks a bit nervous because of how far out there he […]

Nope, not protestors of his hate filled agenda. It was a supporter!
The student, 19-year-old Mark D. Uhl of Amissville, Va., reportedly told authorities that he was making the bombs to stop protesters from disrupting the funeral service. The devices were made of a combination of gasoline and detergent, a law enforcement official told […]

John Husted does the right thing. He wants more control over statehouse opening session prayers and ordered full implementation of a system of prior prayer review. Good job John. Thanks for this. Since Reverend Keith Hamblen’s abuse of the rule and shameful promotion of his religion in the public sphere, the […]

Update: This all happened as the good Congressman got his PB&J confiscated by the TSA. I’d say a last day visit to the soup kitchen might just be the final out-of-comfort-zone experience to cap off the Food Stamp Challenge!
Jerid gets this nugget in his first bit of vlogging from New Hampshire:

Simply one of […]

I’ve struggled a long time to write a good capsule to introduce this bit, but I can’t. Joss Whedon is about a billion times the writer I am. This is a tremendous rant, and I encourage you to read it. I was unable to edit it down to something concise; unable to […]

This post is a Matty Special, just for our friends at RABid.
It turns out that Dr. Laura’s son, who is currently deployed in Afghanistan, had a MySpace page. And what a page it was.
The soldier son of talk radio relationship counselor Laura Schlessinger is under investigation for a graphic personal Web page that one […]

The latest Des Moines Register poll has Edwards (29%) leading Obama (23%) and Clinton (21%).
