I find this news concerning the advantages of coffee in reversing Alzheimer’s useful on a day I picked up an iced vanilla latte (from Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf – STRONGLY recommended) and am getting a year older.
Thanks to Michael “Art” for the link, granted it was many days earlier but I just got around to it.
Wow. Here is your conservative “fiscal conservatism” at work. Mark Sanford spent over $37 grand in taxpayer money to fly first class to cheat on his wife with his “soul mate”.
And these are the “moral” ones? Give me a frigging break.
Elect a clown? Get a circus.
Pat Buchanan is a vile racist. I’ve always known this, but his recent words and his comments on the Rachel Maddow Show last night strongly endorse that this guy is basically begging for a race war while whites still have the numbers. Numbers, but not the training given the numbers of minorities fighting Bush’s wars overseas. Bob Cesca weighs in, followed by the Maddow video.
I love this cheeky write-up on Monticello. It has been about 18 years since I did the tour there but it was such a fascinating place. I can’t wait to drag Gabriel there someday.
Here are the Cliff Notes version of the Sotomayor confirmation hearings.
Enjoy.
Marketplace concluded it’s series called “Working” yesterday and once again it was a pretty illuminating look at the life of someone just trying to get by in this world.
I presume that after 29 stories they just ran out of funds to keep it going but it was entertaining and instructive to hear how people fall into the work they do and how they strive to do it to the utmost, whether legal or not.
Looks like the traitors are beginning to sue. A reservist purposely volunteered for duty in Afghanistan and then refused to deploy since he says Obama isn’t actually an American citizen and thus isn’t a legal president.
This is part of the racist “birther” movement which is basically a Republican cover to be racist bastards. If waterboarded, I am sure nearly all of them would swear that they KNOW Obama is American. Actually, if waterboarded, I’m sure every single one of these cretins would say anything you’d want them to say.
The Army has cancelled his deployment orders and a civilian judge has stupidly allowed his case to carry on. As far as the military is concerned, I hope they strip this traitor of his officer’s commission and clear a bunk at Leavenworth for the asshole.
More on the case, as well as information that ties both FAUXNews (more here) and the Republican Party to this mutineer and his potentially traitorous act.
Apparenty FAUX and the GOP are “palling around” with treason.
Honestly, I am hoping to get a paperback copy of Jeff Sharlet’s book soon. All in my further ongoing quest to know my enemies I guess.
Rachel Maddow had him on last night to discuss the cult that controls the GOP’s government core:
He was also on KNPR’s State of Nevada discussing “The C Street Project”.
Now granted, some of this may be just a great shill opportunity for his book. That said, he didn’t make Mark Sanford find his “soul mate” in Argentina or force Ensign’s dad to use his casino profits to buy off his boy’s extramarital playmate’s family. So, I don’t factor too many grains of salt in his media tour. He may just be taking the opportunity to point out that our government is run by “prayer cells” – and isn’t *that* a terrorist sounding term? – and maybe we should put a stop to that.
Absolute genius. Thanks, Bernie!
Lifehacker has a week long series called Beat the Heat. Basically, it is a rundown of tips and tricks to help you stay cool and maybe save some money doing so. A couple of the highlights I enjoyed:
