Well now. I'm at a loss to understand how Edward Snowden's latest disclosures could possibly have been inspired by his much-vaunted concerns about civil liberties, since he's now revealing details about US espionage against Russia.

The most embarrassing controversy is his support for teaching creationism in Louisiana's public school science classes. It gives the rest of the country a reason to laugh at us, and surely Louisiana has had enough of that kind of derision. After some prodding on Kotb's part, Jindal finally came right ...

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) made an impassioned plea yesterday for Republicans to stop denying the science of climate change -- so, like clockwork, the right wing blogs and media are attacking him in fake-outraged unison today.

Just a few months ago, the National Review was forced to fire or distance themselves from not one, but two overt white nationalists who had been writing for the publication for years.
