Good grief this man is shameless, he’s not just a political chameleon, he’s a full-blown mimic octopus. Romney has gone from pro-choice to anti-choice and is now working his way back. [Read more…]

In the wake of Tuesday’s sharp rebuke to conservative policies, wingnuttia needs a boost, and they may have already found it. A fifteen cent tax on fir trees heavily endorsed by — some could argue implemented at the behest of — live tree growers may serve as a convenient conversation changer and opening salvo in the annual War on Christmas facade, this time with 100% more Obama!

The National Weather Service is issuing a severe winter storm watch for parts of Alaska and Canada as a powerful storm sweeps in from the west carrying lots of snow and ice driven by near hurricane force winds. The system is currently off Alaska’s west coast and looks almost like the crazy cyclonic winter-canes on that miserably terrible movie The Day After Tomorrow. It’s not though, these kinds of eddies and extra tropical cyclone looking swirls happen all the time. This one just happened to be well defined when that sat photo was snapped. At least that’s what my climate expert pals are telling me.
Enhanced-color view of Phobos obtained by Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on March 23, 2008. Stickney crater, the largest, is on the right side.
The Russian mission to visit and sample the tiny Martian moon Phobos may have already run into a problem so big it threatens to sink the entire effort. After reaching low earth orbit, the kick stage of the rocket failed to fire on time, leaving the spacecraft unable to break orbit and head for Mars: [Read more…]
Five "people" according to proponents of personhood
Personhood was defeated in Mississippi, soundly, by double digits. It was a good night all around for progressives and common sense. But if you think these protoplasm worshipping creeps are giving up on controlling women’s bodies, you don’t know how they roll. Mississippi was just warm up for a state by state and federal push to force 12 year-old rape victims to bear the thug’s child and turn millions of women, doctors, pharmacists, and parents into criminals. This is their full-time fucking job: [Read more…]
It’s not hard to win elections, you do that by doing one thing: vote. Every vote you cast costs the billionaire boyz money. Every vote you cast tanks their investments. Voting is asymmetrical class warfare. Ohio and Mississippi proved that again last night. If you don’t vote, your feelings literally do not count.
I’m sure I’ll write more on this and include with useful websites by state, but for now if you’ve moved, are just reaching voting age, are deployed overseas, if you currently lack ID, check with your local state office and Rock the Vote. [Read more…]

Do you believe in miracles? Well obviously not, but this is an unexpected triumph!
MS – INITIATIVE 26 asks voters: “Should the term ‘person’ be defined to include every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning, or the equivalent thereof?”
Update: Personhood, this race is called! With half the precincts in, good guys lead … No 58%, to Yes 42%, up by over 50,000 votes out of about 344,000. [Read more…]
Latest updates reposted below the fold courtesy of Daily Kos Elections and David Nir
Update: AP is calling Ohio issue 2 for the good guys!
Update: At last count Ohio good guys are crushing the Darth Vaders of the state 63% to 37%, it’s not a done deal on the union busting bill with 80% reporting only 19% reporting. I’ll have results on Mississippi’s personhood bill shortly — DS [Read more…]
Herman Cain is famous for contradicting himself in one or two sentences. Such as saying he believes a women or family should make the decision about abortion — and it should not be legal. His response to a question about whether or not he would take a lie detector test was another one of those strange, vague statements, or as they’re rapidly getting to be known, Cainisms: [Read more…]
