Out of the Mosque, Into the Street

On several TV news shows, I’ve heard commentators say it was odd that all this Muslim anger and rage erupted today, several days after the Pope’s statements about Islam.

What’s odd about it? Today is Friday, and the crowds in photos from around the world with signs (in English) and masks and weapons are coming out of their neighborhood mosques, after listening to sermons by representatives of the Religion of Peace™. Nothing odd here. The massive demonstrations always erupt after Friday prayers.

Welfare Ban for Ex-Drug Offenders Hurts Minority Women & thus ALL OF US
When Martha Stewart left prison in 2004 after serving a five-month sentence for conspiracy and obstruction of justice, she issued an emotional plea on behalf of the women she did her time with, many of whom were locked up for nonviolent drug offenses. "I beseech you all to think about these women," Stewart said in a statement (PDF). "They would be much better served ...

Kansas City Cops Tell Man They’ll Kill His Dogs and Destroy His Home if Forced to Obtain a Search Warrant
Good news, citizens! You have the right to refuse a warrantless search of your premises. It's a right that's guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment. But that right won't protect you from the consequences of your failure to roll over for law enforcement. Nope, the right to not be subjected to a warrantless search can actually be held against you -- not in a court ...

Mandela in the Synagogue
More: Mandela's Trademark Shirts iReport It was Saturday September 1, 2007 and I was in Monte Carlo for a friend's wedding. We prayed that morning at the local synagogue and later walked to the nearby Hotel de Paris. Entering the lobby, I was surprised at the large security presence.

“William Ayers Wrote Obama’s Book” Guy Compares George Zimmerman to Nelson Mandela and Mother Theresa
The William Ayers Wrote Obama's Book Guy, aka Jack Cashill, proffered one of the more toweringly stupid comparisons yesterday: Last week, Cashill appeared on TheDoveTV to promote the book and was asked what he thought about the possibility that the Justice Department might file civil rights charges against Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin. Cashill was not supportive, to say the least, primarily ...

A Holiday Wish as the Least Productive Congress in History Wraps Up Its Year
As American workers, those fortunate enough to be employed anyway, rush to complete year-end projects, let us take a moment to marvel at the outgoing 113th Congress. As our own Sarah Jones reported last week, this group is the least productive on record. As of this writing, the sorry bunch of elected officials has passed just 55 laws this calendar year, seven fewer than ...

Peter LaBarbera Spreads Anti-LGBT Propaganda at Jamaican Conference
This past weekend, Peter LaBarbera, founder of the Naperville, Ill.-based anti-gay hate group Americans for the Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), was in Jamaica pushing his extremist views. "Do not be like us, do not be like Britain, do not sit idly by as so-called 'LGBT activists' manipulate words and laws to achieve dominance in your country," LaBarbera told a conference of Christian conservatives in ...

At Least 194 Children Have Been Shot to Death Since Newtown.
One more time I will not call for new gun laws, but instead explain to all my friends how dangerous it is just to have a gun in your house. Once more I will point out that you are in more danger from that gun you own than you are from crime. You don't want to become one of these sad tales, you should ...

New Johnny Cash Album to Be Released
I have a reason to live again. There's new never-before-heard music coming from Johnny Cash. Cash's estate is releasing "Out Among the Stars," an album he recorded with Billy Sherrill in the early 1980s that was never released by Columbia Records, then disappeared when the company dropped Cash in 1986. Turns out Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash, stashed the tapes - along ...

Creationist Home School Curriculum Isn’t Just Inaccurate — It’s Really, Really Dumb
Wingnuts love to talk about the merits of home schooling, but one of the biggest providers of home schooling curriculum shows how little they actually car about education. A popular curriculum used by home-schooled students has drawn criticism for inaccurate, misleading information and an over-reliance on rote memorization, but those aspects may not be the worst things about it. A lot of the material ...

#BeThatGuy to Stop Violence Against Women
Titled "Be That Guy," the 30-second animation was first played at a NASCAR race in mid-November. It shows a race, one of our great American pastimes, where a lot of people are crammed together in a loud public arena to cheer as slightly larger Hot Wheels careen around in circles (growing up in the land of INDYCAR, I still don't get it). In the ...

‘Sovereign’ Fail: Man Indicted in Cincinatti for Stealing Houses
Following in the footsteps of other antigovernment "sovereign citizens," Robert Carr figured he could take ownership of houses in foreclosure simply by moving in, changing the locks and filing "quiet title" legal papers. "If you abandon something, you forfeit all your rights and title to it," Carr told WLWT-TV in Cincinnati, "and title is not a piece of paper. Title is when you grab ...

Shilling For Profit: A Case Study Of ALEC’s Campaign Against Divestment From Apartheid South Africa
Could have put this under "Wingnuts," but this happened awhile ago, so I thought "History" was more fitting. Anyone on the right wants to claim Republicans or conservatives never supported the Apartheid regime, here's something else you can use to debunk them. This was also motivated by profit, so whoever says greed is good, has been proven wrong in this case as well. That ...

Things We Don’t Talk About
There are indeed things we don't talk about and it's long past time we do talk about it, share it and stop feeling it's our fault. Mental, emotional and financial abuse is widespread. It may not leave bruises, but the injuries run deep. Women from all walks of life can be subject to it. It happens to people of all races, all faiths, all ...
