Clint
Just a thought Clint, we built you actually.
Before Sergio Leone gave you a call back in the 60s you weren’t exactly at the top of your game.
Sergio Leone also wasn’t exactly conservative, to be specific was probably extremely progressive.
Just a thought, I don’t know if you would have been who you are today without that progressive Italian guy.

“Is it worse to imagine a world without pizza or one in which Obama gets a second term? It’s worse to imagine a world with Obama getting a second term than it is to imagine a world without pizza. Because with Obama in a second term, there will be no pizza. For anyone.”

Paul Ryan Said Something That Should Force Him Off... →
jadeoceans:
greenstate:
Last week, Paul Ryan gave an interview in which, defending his position that there should be no excuses for abortion, he referred to rape as a “method of conception.”
Wow, right? Talk about a benign euphemism. Rape —RAPE! — is now a “method of conception.” You know, like love-making, just without the love.
There could be no greater testament to the utter abdication of...

The Economist drops Mitt Romney →
shortformblog:
WHEN Mitt Romney was governor of liberal Massachusetts, he supported abortion, gun control, tackling climate change and a requirement that everyone should buy health insurance, backed up with generous subsidies for those who could not afford it. Now, as he prepares to fly to Tampa to accept the Republican Party’s nomination for president on August 30th, he opposes all those...

How some people think I think guns work
Guns are conscious and have feelings. They are angry and evil. Once a gun itself has decided to go on a murderous rampage — as they all inevitably do — it’s simply a matter of finding a human (any human is fine, even perfectly stable ones) to sink its…
This is my favorite post Topher ever wrote.

topherchris:
America has a problem admitting it has a gun problem. America has a problem admitting it has any problems. Unless it’s the religious right pretending to have a problem, of course. Gay marriage, for example, is not a problem. They just don’t like it. Well, gee whiz. Go cry about it as you watch state after state make it legal. No problem there.
Guns, poverty, racial inequality:...

arte-fatti:
L’io: Gadda lo chiamava, insieme agli altri pronomi, un “pidocchio del pensiero”, e invece i cattolici, anzi i ciellini di Rimini, con l’aiuto di un po’ di professori universitari si preoccupano che non esista. Dice L’Avvenire: “Michele Di Francesco, filosofo del Vita-Salute San Raffaele: “La…

The Todd Akin Guide to Female Biology →
In Missouri, Republican candidate Todd Akin is offering voters a chance to widen the range of pseudoscience represented in the Senate, opining that it is “really rare” for a rape to lead to pregnancy. In a “legitimate rape,” he explained, “the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”
Sadly, the interviewer failed to ask any follow-up questions about what those ways might be....
