I never imagined that planning gay parties was so lucrative and fun back in 1952.

We'd be wise to beware these four myths about the teabaggers.
Rude Pundit has some suggestions for the lame-duck session (found via Blue in the Bluegrass, who has longer-term ideas).

The Christian Right can't stop denigrating gay suicide victims (found via Republic of Gilead).

I've observed Rasmussen's bias myself and am glad that there is a study to back up those observations.
I was with Maureen Dowd right up until her prayer. Isn't praying for God to be watching out for the country the same as asking for all teh gays to drop dead?
LibHom: We'll know now to take the bias into account when reading their polls in the future.
LA: In her case, I doubt it. Even if one interprets a brief comment like "God save the republic" as an actual expression of religious belief, these days a lot of people's concept of Christianity has hardly any connection with what's actually in the Bible.
thanks for all the linky goodness, infidel, and thanks for linking over to the raisin.
Buenos Dias Infodel!
Noting much to comment, since I am still going through many of these ... just wanted to say thanx for the round- up ... the political stuff I passed on though.
Nonnie: Thanks for trying to find new jobs for all those poor klutzes.
RC: I often feel like I'd like to pass something all over the political stuff too.
