The Pentagon Shooter's Extreme Right-Libertarian Beliefs, Revisited

Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 1:04 pm PST

I’ve had serious differences of opinion with Media Matters blogger Eric Boehlert in the past, but his latest piece on the desperately absurd efforts of the right wing blogosphere to label Pentagon shooter John Patrick Bedell as a “left winger” is right on the money: The Pentagon shooter, insurrectionism, and ...

Mon, Feb 22, 2010 at 5:46 pm PST

Virginia House Republican Wards Off the Antichrist

Fri, Feb 12, 2010 at 10:19 am PST

Satan has to wake up pretty early to put one over on Virginia Republican Delegate Mark L. Cole.
