I read this awhile back but still find it a fun catch-up to the Goonies’ cast after all these years.

The Case for Working With Your Hands – NYTimes.com
I’ve had this story lying around in a tab for months. It concerns the value of working with your hands and is a pretty interesting read if you’ve got the time.
YouTube – The Birthers: Dobbs and Conservative Media Feeding “The Wacko Wing”
Lou Dobbs has been a known racist for awhile. But now he might be a treasonous racist.

CNN is trying to shut Dobbs’ racist shit down. Not that he’s listening.
Chris Matthews slowing realizes that this might be about race.
As usual, John Stewart nails the issue
Las Vegas Weekly : – Capital stooges
Honestly, the picture makes this story on dumbass Republican governors so good.
Why is it that the so-called party of morality keeps picking miscreants and idiots like this to lead them?
No, really. I think we all deserve an answer to that question.
Pentagon Furious at Fox News Analyst for Calling For Execution of Captured Soldier | | AlterNet
The title says it all. The military should be pissed for FAUXNews personalities and guests wishing for the execution of an American soldier by our enemies.
All conservatives should be pissed too. Can you imagine the hatred and vile crossburnings if someone like Michael Moore had said something so odious?
Yeah, there would be angry protests in every major city.
To date: none. Why? Because these meat puppets eat everything FAUX is serving, even selling out our soldiers.
So, while I am glad some in the military are angry, the majority of mess halls will probably still air their crap and the majority of “patriotic” racist and bigoted Americans will still watch as well.
Grand Prairie officers on leave after racist Obama e-mail circulated | Top Stories | Star-Telegram.com
Racism: Texas Justice style.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but Texas conservatives hated Kennedy. Kennedy got shot in Dallas.
Grand Prairie is near Dallas. Texas conservatives hate non-whites more than they do Catholics. And here we have cops spreading racist emails around about our president.
And these cretins think they are patriotic Americans, I bet.
US teen pregnancy and syphilis rates rose sharply during George Bush’s presidency, Centres for Disease Control finds | World news | guardian.co.uk
Yet another failed policy of the Bush hegemony. It turns out that preaching abstinence in schools – as opposed to providing proper sex education – aids in increasing teen pregnancy and the spread of STDs like syphillis and AIDS.
The rates of increase are highest in the southern states where the policy of choosing fantasy over fact were the strongest.
Go figure.
GOP congressman has birther meltdown on Hardball
Op-Ed Columnist – Pharisees on the Potomac – NYTimes.com
Maureed Dowd points out that the GOP has gotten bad at the only thing they’ve ever been good at: Here is a list of the Rethug crazy train rolling through his district.
Meanwhile, some Rethug car dealer in Missouri is offering a free AK-47 with the purchase of a pickup truck. One, rednecks need less weapons, not more given their tendencies towards killing doctors and blowing up decent Americans. Two, why are so-called patriots lining up to get Soviet/Russian/Red China-made assault rifles? Are you too traitorous to actually want an AR-15 when you plot to destroy America? Is THAT the limit of your hypocrisy?
Look, at this point, I could never voting Republican, even if the Democrats turn into the Flying Demon Bat Party tomorrow. In that case, find me a viable third party, but I am NEVER EVER going to side with those racist morons. Ever.
(Granted, I only voted GOP once and he was running for coroner, for God’s sake.)
The History of the Gyro, With a Dollop of Serendipity – NYTimes.com
Mmmm….gyros.
Somewhat on the unhealthy side, but nowhere near a burger, and much more tasty. We regularly hit a nice gyro shop near campus called Stephano’s, which is a much fancier manifestation of it’s old namesake, Daily Chicken.
Knowing how the meat is made takes nothing away from it, nor wanting to get some takeout soon.
