Fox News’s Megyn Kelly: ‘Act of Terror’ Is Different From ‘Terror Attack’

Hyper-literal, hyper-stupid

This is one of those clips that just had me shaking my head, as Megyn Kelly shamelessly tries to pretend there’s a secret meaning behind Obama’s use of “act of terror” to describe the attack in Benghazi. According to Kelly, if Obama didn’t hate America he would have used the words “terrorist attack.”

In the weird wingnut world of Fox News, there’s apparently a vast and important distinction between these phrases, a distinction that reveals a horrifying truth about Barack Obama. Unreal.

How California Is Debunking the GOP’s Obamacare Talking Points
More: How California Is Debunking the GOP's Obamacare Talking Points This is some powerful stuff. I wouldn't want to be an Obamacare repealing Republican asshole in a state that isn't embracing the Affordable Care Act in 2014. Once small businesses learn that California (and other states embracing the ACA) are less expensive, they'll flock out of the states that don't. Covered California, the agency ...

10 Most Absurd Sex Tips From the Christian Right
6) If husbands want more sex, women should do everything they can to give it to them.

THE ONLY SCANDAL THAT MATTERS TO ME: 8 MAN panel to decide the WOMEN’S health.
If you need further proof that Congressional Republicans are waging a War on Women, you need look no further than Thursday's congressional committee hearing on H.R. 1797: District of Columbia Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, a bill sponsored by notoriously anti-choice Representative Trent Franks (R-AZ8) that would criminalize abortions after the 20th week. There are currently 98 women serving in the House of ...

Game Over for Obamacare Saboteurs?
The spoiler version is that out in California, where the state government and advocacy groups are actually interested in doing Obamacare right, things are looking pretty good. They're standing up their exchanges and it turns out premiums for basic bronze and more comprehensive silver health plans will actually come in lower than anticipated. This is almost unambiguously good news for Obamacare. You can ...

What Landscape Photos Would Look Like if Earth Had a Ring Like Saturn’s
Last month we shared some photo illustrations by science artist Ron Miller that showed what the night sky would look like if other planets in our solar system replaced the moon. Now Miller is back again with an equally interesting concept: what would landscape photos look like if Earth had a ring like Saturn's? It's nice having a moon, but "for spectacular skies ...

Worse Than Watergate? the Ultimate White House Scandal Matrix
Worse than Watergate. That's the refrain coming from the Obama administration's critics as it scrambles to tamp down a growing pile of scandals. "The Obama administration's cover-up of the September 11, 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack surpasses Watergate," states Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa). The IRS-tea party scandal "is far worse than Watergate," according to Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.). And Pinal County, Arizona, Sheriff Paul ...

An Interplanetary GPS Using Pulsar Signals
Spacecraft could determine their position anywhere in the solar system to within five kilometres using signals from x-ray pulsars, say astronomers. Navigating in space is a tricky business. The usual method relies on Earth-based tracking stations to work out a spacecraft's distance using radio waves, a process that is accurate to within a metre or so. That's fine for the radial distance, but ...

SIGN THE PETITION, learn about it: Feminist Campus - Campaign to Expose Fake Clinics
"Crisis Pregnancy Centers" (CPCs) or Pregnancy Resource Centers advertise on your campus and in your community.

4 Reasons ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ Is Secretly About Drugs
Nice, right? Anyway, here's my thesis: Raiders of the Lost Ark is not an action-adventure movie about an archaeologist who plays by his own rules and saves the day. Instead, the film is an exploration of Marion Ravenwood's crippling drug addiction. An addiction that was born from her unhealthy relationship and continued association with Indiana Jones. Is it true? Who cares. Can I prove ...

Woolwich is traditionally a military area, with the old Arsenal at its centre and the new barracks one of London's important military ...
