Simply one of the best pop songs ever written, from Crowded House's "Farewell To The World" tour in 1996. In memory of the great Paul Hester. YouTube Video

I'm going to put the ramifications of the GOP's decision to strike down any portion of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare/HCR/Health Care Reform) that the Supreme Court leaves intact in the widely expected decision that is to be released tomorrow up front. Provisions that the GOP would eliminate, and which have ...

My previous page on Obama (found here) clearly showed that President Obama has presided over one of the "greatest periods of government austerity in recent memory." To hammer home this point, there are a few more pieces of evidence I would like to share with you. Firstly, consider the graph ...

It's one BOMBSHELL EXCLUSIVE after another at the site that Andrew Breitbart built! Man, these guys are ON FIRE! Stand back, because the VETTING continues with an astounding new breaking news story by Charles C. Johnson (no, it's NOT ME): EXCLUSIVE: THE VETTING - DID OBAMA HAVE LOWER SAT SCORES THAN ...

The state of Missouri inducted Rush Limbaugh into their "Hall of Famous Missourians" yesterday, at an invitation-only ceremony closed to the public and guarded by armed members of the Highway Patrol: Doors Locked, Dems Banned as Missouri Honors Limbaugh. Rush Limbaugh was inducted into the Hall of Famous Missourians yesterday, ...

How interesting! This morning I had a look at that Dan Riehl thread at Breitbart.com that was full of racist insanity, and discovered that administrators have been quietly deleting comments. So, after Riehl and "Investigative Writer" Mandy Nagy spewed insults at me all day yesterday on Twitter, and denied any responsibility ...

Yes, they're at it again. The denizens of the comment forums on Fox News are spewing almost unbelievable amounts of racist hatred and sick violent fantasies in yet another thread: House Democrats Call Trayvon Martin Death 'Murder,' Racial Profiling | Fox News. There are more than 6,000 comments for this article, ...

YouTube Video Bob Schneider's "Chinatown" is a creepy atmospheric slice of noir pop, and this might be my favorite version, performed live in a room somewhere. From the album, Songs Sung and Played on Guitar at the Same Time. There's a mad wind blowin down the ninety nine And the ghosts of New ...

Jon Huntsman made it official this morning -- he's out of the race. Right wing bloggers are celebrating, because Huntsman is relatively sane compared to the rest of the field. For example, at rabid far right blog "Weasel Zippers" (a name he stole from our random sayings, by the way), ...

I was shopping for a new mattress at Amazon, and found a great deal on this Sleep Innovations 10-inch Memory Foam Mattress. As usual, I started reading the customer reviews to see what people who'd bought it had to say about the experience, and discovered the following comment from someone ...

MEGA DERPHere's dim Jim Hoft, hilariously stupid and obsessed as always, with what may be the dumbest thing he's ever posted (and there's a lot of competition for that dubious prize): Swedish Paper: Obama Photoshopped into Famous Situation Room Photo. Hoft, with his unerring instinct for brain-dead conspiracy theories, has discovered ...

There's going to be a big Herman Cain-shaped hole in tonight's "Mike Huckabee Presidential Forum" on Fox News. The debate just won't be the same without the 999 plan. I miss him already.

David Frum has a long piece in New York Magazine today, plaintively asking the question: When Did the GOP Lose Touch With Reality? It's an interesting read, a cry for help and a plea for the GOP to return to sanity, but it's also a complete waste of time. The Republican ...

It's amazing how quickly right wingers can switch from "there's no such thing as racism" to "you're a racist because you're criticizing our token minority candidate." Leonard Pitts Jr. has a good piece on the right's sudden pious racial indignation over Herman Cain's offenses. Do you think it gives Clarence Thomas ...

In her latest post Pamela Geller screeches: It is time there was a museum exhibit dedicated to the victims of jihad. Where is the Met's showcase of the lives and cultures and histories of the 270 million victims of over a millennium of jihadi wars, land appropriations, cultural annihilations, and ...

Here's an extraordinary speech on climate change and the insanely dangerous behavior of the right wing, by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), via Joe Romm. Mr. President, I am here to speak about what is currently an unpopular topic in this town. It has become no longer politically correct in ...

Here's a tech note that will, as all tech notes do, almost immediately turn into a Friday night open thread. I've gotten several complaints about the LGF front page crashing in the Opera browser, or taking forever to load if it doesn't crash. I traced the problem to a recent change in ...

In the October 14th episode of his radio show, Rush Limbaugh defended the Ugandan terrorist group calling itself the Lord's Resistance Army, portraying the LRA as Christians targeted by President Obama for being Christian, and defending the agitprop of the LRA by reading it as gospel. Only at the very last ...

The 10th anniversary of 9/11 isn't more important than the earlier ones or those yet to come, and we may only mark it as "special" because it's a nice, neat number in our base-10 numeral system, but we feel an emotional need to mark it in some way nonetheless, don't ...

Here we go again. Don't these people ever get tired of humiliating themselves? Practically the entire right wing blogosphere went into vapor-lock this morning, shrieking in unison at the evil librul PBS for "editing" the transcript of the President's joint session speech on jobs, to cover up his "gaffe" that Abraham ...

Here's anti-Muslim lunatic Pamela Geller with steam shooting out of her ears, spewing paranoia in all directions, because I ... gasp! ... pointed out the public Amazon page for her new book (and its similarity to the manifesto of Oslo terrorist Anders Behring Breivik): LITTLE GREEN ASTROTURDS!!!!!!! - Atlas Shrugs ...

Lunatic anti-Muslim bigot Pamela Geller dredges up one of the lamest excuses in recent memory, to feebly explain away her removal of a violent comment from a deranged Norway emailer: Clarifying the Edit - Atlas Shrugs. According to the Shrieking Harpy, she edited her four-year old post because it was "insenstive" ...

Here's a fascinating new bit of information in the "Weinergate" (ugh) scandal. Apparently it's possible for anyone to post a picture to anyone else's account at the yfrog.com picture hosting site -- without a password. The trick is to email a picture from a Blackberry to the user's yfrog.com email ...
