CNN Political Ticker: Republican sorry for ‘put her back in the kitchen’ slap « – Blogs from CNN.com

Want to know where the GOP stands on women working out of the home, much less trying to earn political office? Here is all you need.

No standard ads on policy issues, even blown out of proportion ones. None of the standard GOP “all Democrats are handing al-Qaeda the knife to shiv you with” BS. No, this guy went straight to the GOP platform with a “get your woman back in the kitchen” propaganda.

So compassionate.

The GOP is now making a historical reference to Guy Fawkes and themselves. A little more background here.

Let’s put it this way. Guy Fawkes tried to kill the King of England and all of Parliament.

It’s there in the historical record. The one they want to tie themselves to. They want to assassinate any member of our government they don’t agree with.

Smart.

Republican obstructionism may be delaying our nation’s conversion to green technology, but the Navy has already moved ahead, converting a F-18 to biofuels.

Wired also covers this.

It is possible at least one strike group will be fully converted over by 2016. Considering the problems we continue to have with oil producing nations, this can only be a good thing.
