Navy firing over videos raises questions of timing...
While many sailors aboard the ship at the time have defended Honors on Facebook postings - contending he was simply providing a much-needed morale boost during long deployments at sea - senior Military officials interviewed by The Associated Press said the videos were extreme and showed a disturbing lack of judgment. No leaders in senior posts at the Pentagon and in the Navy could explain why, if Honors' conduct was so questionable, he was promoted after the videos aired. Last week, the Navy sai...

Sen. Lisa Murkowski was certified the winner of Alaska's U.S. Senate race last Thursday. She became the first U.S. Senate Candidate since the late Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., to win a write-in campaign.

Mitt Romney. In an interview with The Hill, Santorum said the path to the GOP nomination for the Candidate he endorsed in 2008 may be all but blocked in 2012 thanks to the healthcare law Romney signed as Governor of Massachusetts. "I think it's hard to see a path f...

Death of Pakistani Progressivism?
Salman Tasir, the Governor of Punjab Province in Pakistan, was assassinated by one of his own guards Tuesday, allegedly for his desire to Repeal Pakistan’s Blasphemy law, which has been increasingly misused by the religious right to target Christians, Ahmadis and secularists. The guard who killed him was not a Deobandi fundamentalist but an adherent of the moderate Barelvi school, and a member of the non-violent Da’vat-i Islam organization. Tasir’s biography in many ways mirror...

Retweet Of The Day - Sarah Palin
Today the Quislings at GOProud are proclaiming Sarah Palin as a supporter of LGBT rights because yesterday she re-tweeted a comment on DADT by nutjob radio host Tammy Bruce. GOProud remains silent, however, on this passage from Palin's latest book: "When it comes to raising good citizens, all 'lifestyle choices' are not equal." Yeah, she's a real fucking hero. (BTW, the format of this tweet is odd because Tammy Bruce has blocked me from seeing her Twitter stream.) Labels: GOProud, kapos, Quisl...

Going rogue, where rogue equals shallow
Posted by Paul at 3:13 PM Sarah Palin has "re-tweeted" a message from Tammy Bruce about the Repeal of DADT. The message Palin re-tweeted was this: "But this hypocrisy is just truly too much.

I would like to believe that ...

Death of the Pro-Life Democrat
As the 112th Congress is sworn in, an already Endangered Species is nearing extinction in the Capitol Building: the pro-life Democrat. This increasingly rare bird is in the process of committing political Suicide. That the Democrats took a thumping in the mid-term election of November 2 is, of course, obvious. The dramatic switch from Democrat to Republican control of the House of Representatives is unprecedented in modern times. Over 60 seats changed from Democrat to Republican, giving the Repu...

When you do it, you're uncivil; when I do it, it's fine
Even before the speaker's gavel is passed at noon from Nancy Pelosi to John Boehner, it would appear that the Republicans are determined to form just as arrogant and overreaching a majority as the one they defeated. Slate's John Dickerson questioned Cantor about this conundrum at a session the incoming Majority Leader had with reporters in his new offices Tuesday afternoon. Recalling that Obama settled a 2009 argument with Cantor by reminding the lawmaker that "we won" the ...
