Greg Palast » Manchurian Candidates:Supreme Court allows China and othersunlimited spending in US elections

Palast is so out there way past progressive that he almost comes around the bend over in Cheney Facsist land, but he’s dead right on this issue.

The Supreme Court just made it damn near certain that rich Chinese companies will be picking our presidents from here on out. Assholes.

Antonin Scalia is a Communist enabler.

Military under fire for biblical gunsights

More related to the company trying to restart the Crusades and putting our soldier’s lives at risk.

The Aussies jumped in and want the scriptures removed, as does the Pentagon. Even the Christian Science Monitor isn’t on the side of these Talibangelical idiots.

The company has since listened and will not longer continue the practice of proselytizing at the barrel of a gun.

Frankly, their response is weak, on many levels. First, they never appreciated that what they are doing is wrong. Second, they are sending out around 100 removal kits…to fix 200,000 units shipped. Nice.

Third – and this tells you the REAL spirit of these so-called Christians – they chose Capitalism over Christ. Seriously, I’d have more respect for the bastards – not much, granted – if they stuck, well, to their guns (or gun sights as it were).

Either way, it is once again instructive to watch how Talibangelicals act as opposed to how they preach.

An NBA The KKK Would Love? Promoter Touts Whites-Only Basketball League – The Two-Way – Breaking News, Analysis Blog : NPR

Sadly, what is most instructive about this NPR story are the vast amount of bigoted, Reich Wing assholes that have NPR accounts. No wonder I stopped donating to them; they are corrupted from Steve Inskeep down to the comment trolls.

Anyway, some pure bred crackers want to start an all-white basketball league. This was originally reported in Augusta, GA, one of the Southern towns the league wants a team in. Presumably because they already have a very regressive golf club there.

Just a few more stories from various sources which say about the same thing.

Sounds like something Sarah Palin and her ilk would love.

FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right: Divorce Rates Higher in States with Gay Marriage Bans

I already knew this but didn’t have the data to prove it, but the so-called “traditional marriage” states are full of degenerates divorcing each other at far greater percentages than the rest of the country.

So, let’s be honest, who is a greater threat to the institution of marriage: gay people who have been in relationships for decades who would like to get married and can’t OR rednecks who knock each other up and get hitched and learn to hate each other but do it because they are told they have to?

I think you already know the answer.

And I’m pretty sure the divorce map hews closely to the bottom map. Yes, it is a bit out of date since New Jersey went all Talibangelical and did not allow gay marriage like people thought. Granted, it isn’t pertinent to divorce necessarily, but if you are bigoted enough to fear gay marriage, why are you cool with first cousins procreating?

Letter of the day: Haiti suffers, and Robertson sees the hand of Satan | StarTribune.com

Satan responds to Pat Robertson. Hilarity ensues.

Dear Pat Robertson,

I know that you know that all press is good press, so I appreciate the shout-out. And you make God look like a big mean bully who kicks people when they are down, so I’m all over that action. But when you say that Haiti has made a pact with me, it is totally humiliating. I may be evil incarnate, but I’m no welcher. The way you put it, making a deal with me leaves folks desperate and impoverished. Sure, in the afterlife, but when I strike bargains with people, they first get something here on earth — glamour, beauty, talent, wealth, fame, glory, a golden fiddle. Those Haitians have nothing, and I mean nothing. And that was before the earthquake. Haven’t you seen “Crossroads”? Or “Damn Yankees”? If I had a thing going with Haiti, there’d be lots of banks, skyscrapers, SUVs, exclusive night clubs, Botox — that kind of thing. An 80 percent poverty rate is so not my style. Nothing against it — I’m just saying: Not how I roll. You’re doing great work, Pat, and I don’t want to clip your wings — just, come on, you’re making me look bad. And not the good kind of bad. Keep blaming God. That’s working. But leave me out of it, please. Or we may need to renegotiate your own contract.

Best, Satan

Daily Kos: The day the Klan messed with the wrong people

Once upon a time, minorities threatened by the Klan knew how to fight back.

Given that the Tea Party Traitors are the direct descendents, if not co-members, of the KKK, I think it is high time to give these racist bastards the same rough treatment folks used to give ignorant Kluckers.

You’re never going to earn their respect, so just kick their asses and try to land as many of them in jail as possible.
