I meant to post this when it came out and forget. Sadly, it hasn’t become any less relevant.

Six Words: ‘Must We Forget Our Confederate Ancestors?’ : NPR
Your ancestors kept human beings in chains and treated them as property. No, you don’t get to absolve them of their acts to make you feel better about your ancestry.
Oh, also, they committed treason you damned “patriots”.
Dog Whistling About ISIS — and Latinos Too | BillMoyers.com
Some Republicans are using race and fear to push their own flawed worldview into our tarnished political space?
I don’t believe it.
Right.
I side 89% with Democrats
Why does this not surprise me in the least?
Arizona immigration law at spring training – Grantland
Re-discovered this story from earlier this year.
It is a damn shame that folks have to worry about having to prove their basic existence. It is a damn shame the person who makes that a necessity is treated like a hero by too many in this country.
The rise of secessionist movements – CBS News
A lot of coverage of crazies lately. This morning, secessionists.
More recently, secessionists in high office.
Conservatives like George Will ignore the obvious about his fellow party members. And that makes him about as bad as they are.
Closer to home, there’s this. I had hoped for a better class of people here in Minnesota. Sadly, everywhere has cretins.
On Being Neighborly | The Art of Manliness
Just damn good advice.
For every question, there is a Reagan – The Maddow Blog
The GOP doesn’t want to help Americans find jobs – or have healthcare or, frankly, the right to vote – but they sure as hell want to name everything Reagan.
It is bizarre. It is the conservative Marklar. And makes as little sense.
Rachel Maddow: Bending the truth about Hurricane Katrina at the Bush Library
You’d like to think we’d gotten over being so pissed at these asshats, but that’s not really the case.
Daily Kos: John McCain rewrites his epitaph
No one person can ruin John McCain’s credibility any more the man himself.
Me? I already thought he was pond scum years ago. The real icy on that mud pie was when Bush the Lesser and the gang decided to attack McCain’s adopted daughter in the 2000 primary and then McCain not only campaigned for Bush but eventually gave the cretin a big ol’ bear hug.
I’ve said it before: you attack my family, you’ve got an enemy for life. You ain’t getting a hug. Ever.
He’s wrong about things. Often. Damn near always. Don’t take my word for it. Think about all the crazy shit he’s said. The erratic positions. The insane decisions. That is a whole lot o’ crazy.
This Benghazi thing is just the one more thing before his next “one more crazy ass thing”.
People take him seriously. And they shouldn’t. And they should stop putting himself in front of a camera like he’s capable of coherent thought or policy.
Maddow mentioned this crap the other day.
