Witness here the Republican Party’s response to female members of the House attempting to exercise their rights.
Shockingly disrespectful and pathetic, this exhibits the maturity and comity of a 2-year-old. Have they no respect for at least the institution and its rules?
For the most part, I am and have been a liberal. Nevertheless, there are conservative individuals, ideas, and ideals that I respect a great deal. I cannot imagine being a thoughtful conservative in the US today; the Republican Party has been reduced to obstructionism and simplistic fear mongering. The GOP seems to have little interest in any purpose other than returning to power. How can well-meaning, thoughtful conservatives accept this?
At this rate, the LHC isn’t going to come online until 2012.
Buried in this WSJ story about Mexican pot growing operations on native American reservations is the real gem:
One grow in Washington state’s Yakama Reservation featured a makeshift shrine to Mexico’s unofficial patron saint to smugglers, Jesús Malverde.
Burn down a votive for Jesus Badgreen!
