So, two weeks ago, Bush tried to scare everyone into giving him the telecom immunity bill he wanted, but amazingly, the Democrats found their spine and stood up to him, refusing to pass a FISA bill that let ATT and Verizon off the hook for their illegal wiretapping of Americans since 9-11.

Recently Michelle Obama, the wife of presidential candidate Barack Obama, made some comments including, “For the first time I am really proud of my country.” I guess these comments are cause for alarm, because all of the conservative media outlets are just ripping on her as being “an angry woman” and of course, “un-American.” [...]

I love KO’s recent countdown on the battle between Bush and Congress about the FISA bill he wants with retroactive immunity. He ripped our spineless fascist wannabe commander in chief a new one, and he did it with style. You should really go hear and watch it here and get some commentary at Crooks and [...]

Feministing.com has a new post on Legal Momentum’s Sex Lies and Stereotypes 2008 Report. Their claim is that abstinence only education is harmful. Of course abstinence only education is stupid.
