    A man in Juneau, AK has filed a law suit to keep President Obama off of the ballot, because he is a mulatto.

    I wish I could say that I was surprised that the GOP is nurturing folks who have no idea that the Dred Scott decision is no longer operative. If you click through to Mudflats’ post, she has links to the entire document.

    Well, now the Birthers are embracing the pure racism argument. I guess it is all they have left. “He’s black, so he can’t be President.”

    Romney: “I’m going to do it by getting us more good jobs, by getting us less debt and by getting government a heck of a lot smaller….”

    Has he evert said what he is going to cut. I don’t think he has.

    My wife saw on facebook that longtime NJ reporter J.L. Miller has lost his battle with cancer. One of the best writers, reporters and all-around good people there over the past 30 years.

    The man was one of the few reporters who would actually return calls and take the time to review source materials. We will miss him.

    Aoine: could you clarify the addresses?

    J.L. Miller — a credit to journalism, a great reporter and writer who remained and a man who remained true to his readers, not beholden to his corporate masters. I’m honored to have worked with him.

    Obama is an idiot.

    More insightful commentary from the peanut gallery. Bravo Rusty!

  15. Comment by stan chaz on 27 February 2012 at 7:47 am:

    What a circus. Republicans condemn condoms! Republicans praise children of rape as a gift from God. Republicans legislate forced trans-vaginal probes. Republicans hate women (and men) who want to plan their families. What’s next? Republicans mandate missionary-position only? I hate to admit it, but Newt was right. ‘Cause Newt and all his Republican friends SHOULD set up a moon colony…. AND GO THERE! Then, they could tell each other what to do, and how to live, and who to love…. while leaving the REST of us alone, in peace, here on Earth. Newt, I always KNEW that you were a problem-solver. Unfortunately, you and your Republican friends ARE the problem…

    Everyone who understands the Chicago school, understands that it a bunch of failed BS designed to repackage rapacious greed as laudatory and beneficial.
