We’re finally getting out of Iraq. But look at all the work that entails.

Officials worry anger at D.C. is behind low Texas census response | Houston & Texas News | Chron.com – Houston Chronicle
Lesson One in how to make your race irrelevant. First you get all up in a huff because the nation elected a black man as president. Then you reject filling out the census. This makes your regions less represented in the nation’s politics – hopefully losing Congressional seats as well as not gaining all the ones you are entitled to – and diverting funds from your communities, making them more backwards and obsolete than just your thought patterns.
Add to this the very successful campaign to get Latinos registered and thus overrepresented (thanks to your racist asses) and ta-da! now you don’t count as much.
Quicker.
Not satisfied with U.S. history, some conservatives rewrite it
Nice to know that some conservatives believe in education. Too bad their attention only comes from trying to destroy it. From denigrating science to outright lying about sex education, it shouldn’t be a surprise that lies and deceit are part of their literal whitewashing of history. Here are the worst lies and coverups they plan on implementing.
THIS is what anti-Americanism is. Our nation is better when we are open about our past, not trying to make golden Baal statues of Reagan or whatnot.
Signs 2010 – How they tell us where to go. – Slate Magazine
I first ran into this interesting series on signs reading about the difference between our big ol’ EXIT signs and the more rational approach the rest of the world uses.
Give the series a good look-see. It’s neat stuff.
The Rube Goldberg approach to dissent

An honest look at military spending. Looking at the raw numbers just doesn’t do the job.
Not to say it isn’t important, but perceptions can be wrong when just saying we spend more on tanks than does Country X.
Case in point. China has the biggest military on Earth.
It also has the biggest total population. Put that into perspective and:
Interesting stuff.
Obama health care supporters: Florida doctor tells Obama health care supporters to go elsewhere – OrlandoSentinel.com
Here is the Republican solution to health care. This is rationing by party affiliation.
I guess I need to go find out if my care is going to be a affected by going to some racist Tea Bagger GP. It goes right in line with the sanctimonious bastards who won’t prescribe birth control to women.
Your job is to help people, not force your belief system down their throats.
A terrorist by any other name … – The Globe and Mail
Even our neighbors to the north wonder why we refuse to call white people who want to kill Americans terrorists.
Hell, that’s been my problem with our nation all along. These Hutaree idiots are the double dip too. It’s apparently okay to brand EVERY Muslim a terrorist because of some raving religious lunatics, but you can’t say that about Christians. Even ones who want to blow up a funeral procession of law enforcement types.
Hypocrites.
