The state of Georgia is claiming that an open records activist broke copyright law and committed an act of terrorism simply because he posted the full, annotated versions of the state’s legal code online. WTF?! In a lawsuit filed last week, Georgia officials accused Carl Malamud of Public Resource.org of engaging in an 18-year “crusade to control […]
There’s already been a great deal of purely ridiculous hyperbole surrounding the nuclear deal with Iran, but Mike Huckabee just took it too another level. Huckabee, of course, is in the midst of yet another certain-to-be failed attempt to secure the GOP Presidential nomination, but when you start comparing to deal with Iran to the […]
On Friday, a federal judge ordered the immediate seizure of thousands of documents and numerous computer hard drives from the office of Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio. The order was in connection with an ongoing racial profiling case. U.S. District Judge Murray Snow issued the order during emergency hearing he convened after a court-appointed […]

When I sat down to watch “The Rachel Maddow Show” last night and saw that 2016 GOP Presidential candidate Rick Santorum was one of her guests, I knew this was going to be an episode I would never forget, and was I ever right. Santorum told Maddow that he had missed a U2 concert in […]
Question: When you go to a protest or rally, do you carry a semiautomatic weapon with you? No? Me either, but then again I’m not one of these open-carry nutjobs who feels it’s necessary to put their Second Amendment rights in everyone else’s face. Stephen Passariello, however, did this recently at a protest in Denton, […]
Mike Huckabee just loves to talk about religion, the Bible, God, and how all this relates to the issues of the day in America and the world. But after a town hall meeting in Animosa, Iowa, earlier this week, Huckabee may feel like he’s already paid a visit to the hell he’s fond of referring to. […]
I know I shouldn’t be surprised by anything televangelist/huckster Pat Robertson says, but I have to admit what he declared on his show today made me do a double and triple-take.
