They're losing

Public forum in Maine, pro/anti- legalization of gay marriage. All the usual wingnut objections raised, and then this man stood up to speak:

an 86 year-old World War II veteran addressed the committee. He explained how he had served in Patton's Third Army, took part in the Battle of the Bulge, and was among the forces that liberated Paris. His wife died in 1992. They had four children, one of whom is gay. In a halting, raspy voice trembling with emotion, he said:

"American freedom and equality made this a nation worth dying for. We must have equal rights for everyone. That’s what this nation is all about. My wife and I did not raise our four sons with the idea that three of them would have full rights and one, who happens to be gay, would be left out."

I hope those "defenders of American values", at that moment, felt their alleged "souls" shriveling up like potato chips.

This man went through the winter of '44-'45 in the Ardennes Forest.

Sacrifice, anyone?

Hillary bitch-slaps Mike Pence (R-Indiana)

"Oh, that's right! You're irrelevant!!

As Olbermann put it:

"Oh, that's right! You're irrelevant!"

Ambinder nails the "Party of...uh...No?"

Ambinder nails it:

Even while some of Obama's signature policies are viewed with healthy skepticism, Republicans are still splashing around in a fetid wading pool.

Ooo, snap!

The last feckin' thing I need...

...while traveling, is to have to watch/listen to the CNN-Live coverage of AIG executives (a bunch of porcine wallowing thieves) testify to Congress (more porcine wallowing thieves) about why they got to $4-6 million bonuses while taking hundreds of millions from US.

Time to cleanse the ears, and who better than the saintly Micho Russell?

Bush Liberry faces uphill battle

SMU Provost and Regents fought to get the Bush II Library. Now they're having trouble raising funds for a "library" and think-tank intended to whitewash the career of the most incompetent, criminal, and hated President in the past 100 years?

Imagine that.

Bush Faces Tough Time Raising Library Funds

Gangsters, not patriots

Those who are bombing and killing British soldiers in Ulster in order to try to arrest the peace process:

They profit from suffering, and they know that peace leaves them no room.

They're gangsters, not patriots.
