#DearJohn: For When Boehner Decides Your Rape Just...
Yep, you got that right! The job-focused, tax-focused economy-building new Congress is getting started right away, with a bill to… deny health coverage to rape survivors. Oh, but, you know, that only applies the rape survivors who just don’t count. Meaning the majority of rape survivors. Under this new bill, the only rape survivors who would be able to receive funding would be those who were...

Today, I read about the investigation in the murder and decapitation of Daniel Pearl, the Washington Post journalist that was kidnapped and killed in 2002. A recently completed investigation of the killing of Daniel Pearl in Pakistan nine years ago makes public new evidence that a senior al-Qaeda operative executed the Wall Street Journal reporter. Khalid Sheik Mohammed — the...

Representative Bob Filner was surrounded by his Tea Party opponent and his supporters who spat out a variety of comments including “don’t tread on me” and “Jew” while chanting their candidates...

“Imagine if Palin had come out and said, “My initial response was to defend the...”
– Ezra Klein Great piece from Klein on Sarah Palin’s video response. This is exactly what I was hoping Palin would do but sadly didn’t. I do not blame her for the shootings but I think figureheads need to take responsibility for their words instead of hiding behind more words.

…and not blame “sides” or political affiliations for what led up to the shootings yesterday. I do think some people need to own up for recent gun-toting speak (please see Sean T. Collins’ piece on the disturbing trend of militarization in recent politics), and hopefully they will realize there’s no place in politics for it, but i realize that while they do speak for...

Some thoughts on Arizona
crumbler: My friend Ruben called me yesterday, after word got out about the shootings in his adopted home state of Arizona. “It finally happened,” he said. ‘Finally’ being the key word — for those of us who have lived in Arizona, yesterday’s events had a disturbing sense of inevitability. We had been waiting, powerless, for something like this to happen. In Arizona, politicians are used to...

“Sarah Palin has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district and when people do that, they’ve gotta realize there are consequences to that action.” kateoplis: MSNBC talks to Rep. Gabrielle Gifford about the death threats, vandalism and harassments. Aired 3/25/10. My heart goes out to the Giffords family and those families of the victims of this atrocious act in Tuscon today.  The sad...
