Could it be…?

This is not a political war at all. This is not a cultural war. This is a spiritual war. And the Father of Lies has his sights on what you would think the Father of Lies would have his sights on: a good, decent, powerful, influential country – the United States of America. If you were Satan, who wo

Morning Maddow: “This Is What Republican Politics Is Like Now”

Morning Maddow: Aspirin ain’t just for headaches (but what about hypocrisy?)

Monday Upper: Shorter USCCB — Forced Pregnancy Now, Forced Pregnancy Tomorrow, Forced Pregnancy Forever!

Not much to say: Last week, Obama offered a deft political compromise to the resurgent birth control debate (yes, I just wrote that). Despite this, US Catholic officials refused to budge from their hardline, pro-forced pregnancy position (RELIGIOUS LIBERTY!) So why the sudden Papal insurgency vs the

“What? Knickers? I Can Say ‘Knickers’!”

Your AM dose of vicarious embarrassment, courtesy Raw Story: And no, this isn’t the first time Outer Wingnuttia has tried to go where no ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Real American should ever dare venture: The last time conservatives attempted to induce rapping at CPAC was in 2010, when they put a right-w
