WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST...

Scalia On Brown v. Board Of Education: I Would Have Dissented



There are major differences between Conservatives and Liberals. One group wants to advance the cause of equality and civil rights for all...the other would have kept our schools segregated.

I know Justice Thomas is also Conservative, but you know deep down inside him, he wants to punch Scalia in the gut.

In other, happier, progressiver news...it appears Don't Ask Don't Tell will be coming to an end soon.

MY COMIC ON THE "FRANKEN BILL" NONSENSE

WATCH AL FRANKEN TEAR THE LAWYER FOR KBR A NEW ONE

An added bonus from the horrific story of the woman who was gang-raped in Iraq. Seeing Senator Al Franken take the lawyer for KBR apart in front of her and America is quite beautiful.

GRAB A MOP.

Obama is fucking brilliant.

What I reject is when some folks say we should go back to the past policies when it was those very same policies that got us into this mess in the first place. (Applause.)

Another way of putting it is when, you know, I'm busy and Nancy busy with our mop cleaning up somebody else's mess --- we don't want somebody sitting back saying, you're not holding the mop the right way. (Applause.) Why don't you grab a mop, why don't you help clean up. (Applause.) You're not mopping fast enough. (Laughter.) That's a socialist mop. (Laughter and applause.) Grab a mop -- let's get to work.


But seriously. Beware of the socialist mops.

THIS STORY WILL MAKE YOUR HEAD EXPLODE

Al Franken, who is kicking major ass as a US Senator, introduced his first major bill. He wanted to make it illegal to have companies write in a "You can't sue us if you get gang-raped on the job" clause into their contracts.

Crazy? Something that no company would ever think of doing?!

Sorry, it already occurred...



It happened in 2005, that 20/20 report is from 2007.

Recently, it took THREE YEARS fighting the courts, she won the right to sue KBR. But seriously, should anyone ever have to go through with this again?! Last night The Daily Show brought some light to the manner, including the 30 Republicans who voted against it.

Yes, 30 Republicans don't think it's a good idea to meddle in the business of "Ehhhhh, you did sign a contract saying we could rape you."

OBAMA: I WILL END "DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL."

Good for him.



It's nice to have a President who speaks to us as grown-ups. And doesn't let disagreements within his own party derail him from what he wants to do. The man makes no excuses, he owns up to what he does and acknowledges that he's still got a long way to go.

Good thing he has another 3 years to get even more progressive.

(I bet that just makes the Conservative's heads explode)

I LOVE THE FACT THAT I NO LONGER HAVE TO HANG MY HEAD IN SHAME WHEN I TELL PEOPLE I PLAY VIDEO GAMES...

Bask in the intense awesomeness of this Modern Warfare 2 trailer.



And those weren't "cut scenes." That was actual gameplay footage.

We've basically reached the point where we're able to "play" movies, instead of simply watching them.
