Newt Gingrich: Same-Sex Marriage a “‘Perfect Example of What I Mean by the Rise of Paganism’”

You have to give Newt (dubious) credit: he’s definitely not afraid to embrace his hypocrisy with a bearhug and a big, fat shit-eating grin: It’s pretty simple: marriage is between a man and a woman. This is a historic doctrine driven deep into the Bible, both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament, and it’s a perfect example of what I mean by the rise of paganism. The effort to create alternatives to marriage between a man and a woman are perfectly natural pagan behaviors, but...

Twitter Abruptly Resigns F...

Happy belated #Jan25 from San Francisco: A new Twitter policy which goes into effect today allows the social network “to reactively withhold content from users in a specific country,” so that Twitter can further expand globally and “enter countries that have different ideas about the contours of freedom of expression.” The Twitter blog post announcing this news was titled...

Morning Maddow: Hey Politi...

Ok, not to flog a dead horse, but memories in the poli-junkie world tend to be short. Innumerable pundits & public intellectuals shit the bed on Iraq and totally escaped any accountability after things went south — despite blithely campaigning for an illegal crusade that left untold dead innocents. Now we have Politifact’s carpetbombing sorties against the foundations of the English...

I Dare You To Not Pull A B...

A day late getting this up (which, in blog-time, is akin to a decade — bear with me, kids, it’s been awhile) but believe it’s noteworthy enough to warrant highlighting, even beyond the strict confines of the newscycle. Besides, every time a Kenyan Marxist posts footage of Speaker Spray-Tan getting verklempt, an angel gets its wings. Or something like that. Anyway, best of luck in your...

GOP Race Irrelevant? It...

Steve Kornacki: Republican presidential candidates have devoted months, if not years, of their lives to chasing their party’s nomination, they’ve raised and spent (along with their Super PAC allies) tens of millions of dollars, and they’ve participated in more than a dozen debates – each of which has attracted a massive television audience. But a startling new poll underscores what has got to be a...

Double shot of Rachel this AM, as everyone’s fav cable news anomaly does her best Mitt Romney impression in a blistering attack on Politifact over it’s curious inability to fully credit Obama’s totally, wholly, completely factually correct private sector job creation numbers, cited during Monday’s State of the Union address. Watch it: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news,...

Morning Maddow: Mitt Romne...

The hits to the Romney campaign keep on coming — with more on the horizon as Mitt’s millions & proven fund-raising acumen are no match for Gingrich’s savvy monetary maneuvering within a rotten post-Citizens United political landscape. As Maddow noted last night, “Money buys results”. In this case, thanks to Newt’s SuperPAC-funded PR assault on Mittens, the result...

Awww — no more Huntsman? But-but-but upon whom are Villagers now supposed to project their immodest (and DOA) hopes and dreams for a POTUS who is simultaneously milquetoast and manly (whatever that means — apparently it has something to do with clearing brush and filling a codpiece)? No surprise on the Romney endorsement (can you really imagine Huntsman giving the nod to Ron Paul or Rick...

Curiosity Killed the Bookw...

I am a sucker for Sci-Fi. Having just completed the fourth book in the In Her Name series by Michael R. Hicks in just under two months and with two weeks of holiday vacation beginning on Monday I figure to be done with the sixth book just in time to seek out some new Science Fiction to consume. So as you can imagine, when I came across Ellie Warren’s 2012 Sci-Fi Challenge I couldn’t...
