The NRA’s enemies list

Monday, February 4, 2013

If you can judge an organization by those it considers its enemies, and I think you can, then ones judgment of the NRA must be rather harsh. Check out the distinguished list here. Far more thorough than Nixon’s. I wish I could get on it.

Awesome

Wednesday, January 30, 2013

Paul Simon sang that we live in an age of miracles and wonders. And we do. But we also live in an age of awe inspiring insanity. The Age of Reason, which spawned this great land, has given way to the Age of Unreason. The latest example, which breaks new ground in legal unreasoning, is [...]

Connecticut Truther

Wednesday, January 16, 2013

This woman almost became Connecticut’s Attorney General: Go to Martha Dean’s Facebook page. That will be the only time you read that sentence on Daily Ructions. Dean, the 2010 Republican nominee for Attorney General has since Monday appeared to use her Facebook page to boost the vile conspiracy vultures gathering over Newtown’s Sandy Hook elementary [...]

If this is failure, give me some

Thursday, December 27, 2012

Dick Armey’s attempt to take control of FreedomWorks is being portrayed as a failed coup attempt, but, personally, if I could get someone to pay me $400,000.00 a year to just stay away, I’d consider myself a success. Still, we on the left can take some satisfaction in knowing that so much of that right [...]

Irrational Optimism

Monday, December 17, 2012

There is a lot of talk out there that this time will be different; that this time something really will be done about guns. The optimism extends even to those sections of the blogosphere where realism normally reigns. I’d love to believe it, but I think Tom Tomorrow has it absolutely right. The only real [...]

A Good Idea out of Texas

Monday, November 12, 2012

A Republican official in Texas called for his state to separate from the United States and the “maggots” who reelected President Barack Obama in a newsletter he sent out this week. Peter Morrison, who serves as treasurer of the Hardin County Republican Party, wrote in his post-election newsletter that there was a clear solution to [...]

Bring on St. Thomas

Wednesday, October 24, 2012

Who knew that the thorny question of free will would become a campaign issue? According to Richard Mourdock, Republican candidate for the Senate from Indiana and crazy person (I know, I’m being redundant), if a woman is raped and gets pregnant, “It is something that God intended to happen”. Now that statement can really only [...]

I should have gotten a copyright

Wednesday, September 26, 2012

Okay, so I went here today, and find to my surprise, that Jon Stewart has introduced a new segment entitled “Barack Obama is the luckiest dude on the planet” or something to that effect. Here’s the video: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c Democalypse 2012 – Every Which Way [...]

Our psychopathic overlords

Monday, July 16, 2012

Barry Ritholz devotes a long post to proving something we all know intuitively, that many Wall Streeters and politicians, are psychopaths: According to psychologists and sociologists – many on Wall Street and D.C. are not like you and me. They are literally psychopaths. Reuters reported Tuesday: In a survey of 500 senior executives in the [...]

Only in America

Wednesday, June 13, 2012

This is a country in which fairly basic human rights are being treated in a rather cavalier fashion, without much outcry from anyone. People are being removed from voting rolls upon mere suspicion, and even that is giving too much credit to the perpetrators. Congress just passed a law allowing the government to imprison without [...]
