The right wing universe is now in full-bore conspiracy theory mode over the resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus, just as I predicted. It's a case study in the conservative movement's decline into bad craziness; they're all muttering darkly about cover-ups and hidden connections and "questioning the timing." One of the ...

According to my careful analysis, Texas Rep. Louie "Terror Babies" Gohmert is the Dumbest Person in Congress, and he proves it again with this crazy rant accusing President Obama of "jump-starting a new Ottoman Empire."

The Republican Party's 2012 platform is the most extreme right wing GOP platform in history.

San Francisco’s Municipal Railway is going to run the always-disgusting Pamela Geller's bigoted advertisements on their buses, but they're donating the ad revenue to the Human Rights Commission and placing their own signage next to the ads saying, "Muni doesn’t support this message."
