Keep Watching Your Kids Learn | GeekDad | Wired.com

I get a kick out of watching Gabriel process new things. That’s why this article had me nodding and smiling the whole way.

We love taking the little guy on trips because it’s like his brain jumps to a whole new level each time. Be it going home to Illinois for Thanksgiving or to San Diego to the zoo or just to the truck show last weekend, each experience gives his brain a big ol’ jolt.

It’s a blast, and I hope to keep on enjoying watching it happen.

Citizenship Quiz — History.com Interactive Games, Maps and Timelines

One of the hardest things my mom ever did was to invest the time to study for – and pass – her citizenship test. For an immigrant to learn our system of government so completely, and to HAVE to do so to gain the citizenship we all take for granted, is a lot of work. History.com has this citizenship quiz online. I’ve said for years that you shouldn’t be able to vote in this country until you can pass a citizenship test. Here’s a small taste of what you would need to know to do so.

I would imagine we’d have a lot less teabaggers in this nation once they learned how this nation really ran and why.

Road rage, accident centers on Obama bumper sticker – WKRN, Nashville, Tennessee News, Weather, and Sports |

Want to know why I think Tea Bagging Traitors are unhinged lunatics? Here ya go.

This lunatic bastard rammed a car – with a kid inside – solely because it had an Obama sticker on it. That’s it. That’s all it takes for a Rethug jackoff to try to kill you and your children. A bumper sticker.

So much for family values and the right to life.

After Health Vote, Threats on Democrats – NYTimes.com

A recap of the ongoing terror activities of the Tea Bag Traitors.

It isn’t enough to whip your cohorts into breaking windows a la Kristallnacht. Said mouth breather is a member of an Alabama militia and is, of course, cashing government disability checks while railing against said government.

There’s even more hatred. Bart Stupak is putting up with really vile phone messages. CBS covers the tame ones with many of the more offensive ones in this bit on Rachel Maddow’s show last night – along with other vile behavior.

Rep. Louise Slaughter has been informed that snipes are coming for her. She has already had the lives of her children threatened.

Rep. Russ Carnahan of Missouri had a coffin left outside his house. Nothing subtle there. Tea Bagging Traitors say it was left after a “prayer vigil”. Hell, at best that’s littering in poor taste. in reality it’s a death threat.

Once again, these are the compassionate conservatives?

These cretins swear they aren’t violent.

John McCain blows off the danger of his party’s rhetoric, much like he did Palin’s filth in 2008.

The NRCC says that threats against people’s lives aren’t a big deal.

There’s a map tracking the violence. Hopefully it doesn’t get any more additions.

As Maddow points out, much of this stupidity is driven by the GOP leadership itself.
