You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Just got back to computerland yesterday and my time was reserved for working, drinking and rooting for France (allez Zedane Zidane!!), not necessarily in that order. John is busy with a relative’s marriage.

Contest time! Here is the campaign poster:

DeLay mugshot

All the DeLay campaign needs is a slogan. Something short, punchy and to the point. Have at it.

And as always, chat about whatever.

Semi-busy today, although beer blogging will arrive on schedule for once. Two amusing news bits via BoingBoing:

* One of the funnier anti-419 scam vigilantes that I’ve ever seen.

* People act more honestly when eyes are watching them. Even when the eyes aren’t real.

Chat about whatever.

As long as we’re dredging up years-old WMD reports, I have proof that Saddam kept a fleet of mobile anthrax botulinum smallpox plague mumps production labs! On trucks!

That’s right, you too can be a Santorum. Post your scoops in the comments.

And you know, chat about whatever.

If science blogging is you thing, check out the latest at the Seed science blog network. At Kos DarkSyde has a summary of what’s new and while I haven’t read most of the names he mentions, I wholeheartedly concur about Carl Zimmer. Definitely one of the great writers working today.

Chat about whatever.
