Bill Maher in rare form
Totally, totally. New Rules.
If we wanted Luddite blockheads who didn’t understand gizmos and doohickeys, we would have voted for the Ghost and Mrs. Moron.
John McCain thinks an iPad is something that women wear on their Xboxes once a month.
You know, there’s a specific group of Americans out there, whose name I won’t mention, but it begins with “tea” and ends with “baggers”, and they have a habit of saying, “I want my country back.” Well, I want my country forward.

The Ballad of George Rekers?
For those of you who somehow missed the story, George Rekers, retired neuropathology professor and self-proclaimed expert on teh gay, was paid handsomely to testify against gay adoption in Florida (as well as other states), where he also declared that Native Americans should not be permitted to adopt. The judge wisely threw out his testimony
Then last week it turned out he hired a male escort to travel with him and give him massages.
Oh, no. Hiring an escort on rentboy.com isn’t gay. But now there’s a song on Youtube about it.

Vacation in a Libertarian Paradise
How did I miss this? I’ve been using Somalia as the “regulation-free” example since long before it was trendy.

Alan Grayson hits one out of the park
It’s so nice to have a Democrat with guts, and also with a major sense of humor. He has crafted for our enjoyment (and his fundraising, of course), a crazy message from George Bush that is so close to real it is almost believable. Good work to the impersonator, too.
Visit him on the web, of course.

Colbert as Hannity’s Pimp
Following up on the farce that the supposed ACORN tapes have turned out to be… The transcripts of the originals show that both the O’Keefe and Giles were dressed in street clothes. He was posing as a college student trying to help an abused prostitute escape with some underage prostitutes from her pimp, all the rest is creative editing and dubbing.
Nobody does it better than Stephen Colbert, if the “it” he does best is creative editing to make it look like someone is saying something they never meant to say.

Free Speech, Corporate Personhood, and Suffrage
I read an interesting post on Salon this morning, and followed it over to the personal blog of the guy who wrote it.
Notwithstanding that the SCOTUS has deliberately decided not to rule on the corporate personhood issue, they have decided that corporations have the right to as much if not more free speech than us biological units.
What is more central an exercise of free speech than the right to vote?
