  1. Have House Republicans given up on border security?<\/a> – “The answer, I suspect, is that House GOP officials don’t really know what they’re doing — they looked at the budget for the fiscal year like a pinata, and just started swinging wildly while blindfolded. It seems quite likely to me that Republicans slashed funding for the Border Patrol without even realizing it.”<\/li>\n
  2. Republicans and the ‘beyond redemption’ threshold<\/a> – The Far Right, like the Revolution, devours its elderly.<\/li>\n
  3. Terry Planning Sit-In and Arrests At Boehner’s Office Over Planned Parenthood Funding<\/a> – “We have been lied to and betrayed by Republicans in power for decades.” I never thought I’d agree with something Randall Terry had to say … albeit for very different reasons.<\/li>\n
  4. Celebrating Jefferson Davis’s Inauguration, Youth for Western Civilization Links Obama to “Oppressive” Union Government<\/a> – As someone of Anglo-Celtic heritage, I don’t hesitate to say these folks are dolts.<\/li>\n
  5. Montana Legislature Moves to Stop Towns from Covering Sexual Orientation and Gender in Anti-Discrimination Laws<\/a> – Wow. There’s some serious homophobia going on here — enough that it would be laughable, if the folks speaking it didn’t have the power of the state behind them.<\/li>\n
  6. Bank Of America Demands Mortgage Payments From Yet Another Non-BofA Customer<\/a> – “… Mr. Kafka … paging Mr. Franz Kafka …”<\/li>\n
  7. Limbaugh Continues Attack On Michelle Obama\u2019s Appearance<\/a> – Dolt. And a pathetic dolt, too.<\/li>\n
  8. TOM THE DANCING BUG: After the Revolution, with the Federal Gov’mint off our backs! – Boing Boing<\/a> – Yee-ha!<\/li>\n
  9. R.I.P. Dwayne McDuffie, the man who helped save superheroes from irrelevance<\/a><\/li>\n
  10. Ex-SQUEEEE-site!<\/a> – AAAAWWWWWWWW!!!!!<\/li>\n
  11. What happens when you stick your head in a particle accelerator<\/a> – And now you know! And knowing’s half the battle!<\/li>\n
  12. Walker’s New Threat<\/a> – Stay classy, Gov!<\/li>\n
  13. BBC News – Mentally ill increasing strain on US prison system<\/a> – Yup, sure sounds like the Greatest Health Care System in the World!<\/li>\n
  14. China tells living Buddhas to obtain permission before they reincarnate – Times Online<\/a> – Does sort of have an epic fantasy (“FIND THE CHILD!” or perhaps “Who is the real Heterodyne heir?”) sort of a feel to it.<\/li>\n
  15. DC Women Kicking Ass – Why I’ll miss Dwayne McDuffie<\/a><\/li>\n
  16. Bad Conscience: Obama Administration Rejects Oppressive Bush Medical Regulations \u00ab The Wall of Separation<\/a> – This has been getting big play by Horribly Offended Religious Rightists I occasionally read.<\/li>\n
  17. ThinkProgress \u00bb The GOP\u2019s Anti-Health Reform Crusade Now Brought To You By Industry Lobbyists<\/a> – Big Business: Saving your GOP Attorneys General Money by Working to Increase Your Health Care Costs! It’s a win-win … for someone!<\/li>\n
