Filed in National by on July 6, 2012 13 Comments

We did away with the asshat of the day posts a while ago (too much to keep up with). So today I offer a grab bag of asshattery.

We all remember Crazy Eileen, one of the first birthers to go public. Well, Arizona, not satisfied with being the batshit crazy place it’s become, has just added a new ingredient to the mix – birtherism. Their Secretary of State has indicated he may not allow President Obama’s name to appear on the ballot because he’s not convinced he was born in the US.

Obama Will Veto House Measure on Student Loans

As we posted yesterday, the House was going to vote on a Student Loan extension. The legislation passed H.R.4628: Interest Rate Reduction Act which reduces funding for the Prevention and Public Health Fund and now H.R.4628 will surely face a veto if it makes it to the White House.

NRO: Women Using Birth Control and Family Planning are Part of a “Suicide Cult”

Filed in National by on March 26, 2012 7 Comments

My guess is that it was a slow day in the Oklahoma State Senate. Why else would this rethuglican legislator introduce this bill? An Oklahoma Republican is pushing a bill to outlaw the use of human fetuses in food, because, as he says, “there is a potential that there are companies that are using aborted […]
