They Want It...They Just Don't Want To Pay For It

Begin by asking yourself why so many conservative politicians say they’re anti-government but spend long careers in office drawing paychecks from the taxpayers.

Another Win For Obama

I like what Bill Maher said the other night: who knows
more about the sexual health needs of women than a bunch
of 70 year old male virgins who wear dresses to work?

Disconnect

The next time you hear a politician say we need to "drill baby
drill" consider the fact that the price you pay at the pump
seems to be disconnected from the amount of gas that's
currently available.

What Are They Thinking?

Conservatives like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck are doubling
down on the anti-woman rhetoric. Don't they realize that
will be a pretty important demographic come November?

Blind Spot

Funny how some folks only want government agencies that help
other people to get smaller.

What a Bunch of Babies!

The Right's hysteria over the recent contraception controversey
has been laughable. Jon Stewart does a great job skewering
them and I especially like the part where Sean Hannity discusses
the issue with (you guessed it) a room full of men.

You Call This Small Government?

I saw this story on Rachel Maddow tonight and it just
PISSED ME OFF. The Virginia legislature has passed a
bill that will force women to undergo a vaginal
ultrasound procedure before they can have an abortion.
