Odds and Ends

NPR is carrying a series on the Six Day War, which happened 40 years ago this week.

Congress is trying to restore the concept of habeus corpus, which the Bushites took away last year. Go here to get your politicians on board with restoring freedoms taken away by the GOP.

More things about the GOP. All their candidates are against gays in the military, even though this hasn't been an issue for those straight military folks who have had to go through the experience.

A bigoted Justice Department official proud of attacking minority groups. Not to mention he is fond of suing people of false voter fraud charges to suppress voter turnout.

FAUXNews can't tell one black politician from another and doesn't really care to properly apologize, explain, or correct itself.

Roger Ailes equates being on FOX to squaring off against al-Qaeda by accusing Democrats of being cowards by not going on the network's debates. Look, I agree both al-Qaeda and FOXNews are bad for America, but the concept of not appearing on Ailes' shitty network is not cowardice, it is to not give your enemies ammunition against you. The true comparison would be to disavow being on al-Jazeera as well as FAUXNews.
