I would have liked the US to get that gold medal, and they almost pulled it off, but no matter who won, it was a fantastic game. A fine example of why I love hockey. And if they US can’t have the gold, I can’t think of a better country to get it than Canada, [...]

I Knew It!

Liberal atheists tend to be a lot smarter than non-liberal, non-atheists, says a new report written by liberal atheists. Actually, to be fair, what it actually says is closer to the other way around: people who are smarter are much more likely to be liberal and/or atheist than their not-as-smart counterparts. But it’s still fun [...]

Lindsay Beyerstein at ObWi, on the GOP’s calls to “start over” on health care reform: Boehner must realize the prospect of starting over is about as appealing as National Root Canal Week at the DMV. Bonus quote, same piece: The Republicans have no ideas beyond “tax cuts cure cancer.”

What the hell is with these Miss America dumbfucks? I mean, it was always a stupid and reactionary institution, but when did they go from mouthing mindless platitudes to spewing hateful right-wing bigotry from the stage? Last year, Miss California Carrie Prejean endeared herself to the right wing when she answered a question about same-sex [...]

Mr. D, in comments: …so you affirm dissing some views on the grounds that they defy credulity, and then you diss my point of view on the grounds that dissing other people’s points of view is considered rude. I think we are done here. Let’s quit while we are ahead. [The comments to this entry [...]
The Radicalization of Paul Krugman
Posted in All Linky No Thinky, Economics, Politics on February 23, 2010 | 4 Comments »
A great New Yorker article on how Paul Krugman went from an apolitical Friedman acolyte who kept his political opinions to himself, to a radicalized, liberal New Keynesian, unafraid to be explicitly political.

GOP Gov. Embraces His Inner Bigot
Posted in Culture, Economics, Gender Issues, Legal Issues on February 18, 2010 | Comments Off
A “rising star” of the GOP has just institutionalized bigotry: McDonnell (R) on Feb. 5 signed an executive order that prohibits discrimination "on the basis of race, sex, color, national origin, religion, age, political affiliation, or against otherwise qualified persons with disabilities," as well as veterans. It rescinds the order that Gov. Tim Kaine signed [...]
