Thanks for the link. I, of course, had read the pieces on Progressive Eruptions and they are all excellent. Another clear and concise, point-by-point - and without all the hysterics - look at the bill can be found at

I also enjoyed the view at Politicususa. My thoughts exactly.
And we always need to pause for a little humor which Christine O'Donnell so graciously and unwittingly provides.
I'm looking forward to plowing through each and every one. I trust you.
TNLib: Thanks for the link -- I added it to the round-up.
I suspect O'Donnell will "unwillingly represent / a source of innocent merriment" for a very long time.
MB: Thanks. One link, at least, should look familiar.....
Lone Star Greeting's Infodel!
You have quite a selection of religious funnies here ... but I been viewing your site here since I had a computer for a lil over 2.5 year's ... and you done quite a few link's exposing the hazzard's of religion, job well done. It's in a way sad ... that we have to have atheist's expose religion for what it truely is ... where it should be those believer's in God who should be exposing the truth instead.
I didnt know Joe Barton was on a campaign to trash florescent bulb's actually(Murr Brewster). I been using flourescent bulb's since they been on the market ... all lighting in my home has been flourescent for well over a few year's I reckon. I have heard some complaint's about them as far as not being powerful enough when first turned on or whatever ... they been great for me though, even last longer, and cheaper on utilities ... Oh well! I live in Texas ... and dont even hear about this stuff (I watch and listen WFAA and Dallas Morning News as far as mainstream news)... but I live in Dallas ... and Dallas has enough real news than focusing much with circle jerk project's like Barton. Or what some f'n Jesus freak's are argueing over in a bloody parade in some fucken hick town down in Brazos County. But it's enlightening and informative to keep updated, so at least I know what's around me.
That Konovalenko is really a great link addition to your list!
Salvation Army on toy donation's, that is one of the organization's top of my shitlist in Dallas, mostly for turning away Veteran's from a bunk for the night cause they didnt have $10 buck's. Another crooked organization ... if I was a kid again ... I'd probably rob their kettle's. :)
TPM on the DMV harrassment of a transgender, was a suprise ... being the Bay Area ... but ... like I said ... you can find these fruitloop freak's anywhere's. I'd sue the bitch ... for their measley paycheck's and let God provide for them.
Kick ass tables from Dark Roast via Mendip ... BTW ...Mendip has great taste too! :)
So they have an Aryan FaceBook now heh? (SPLC) ... good ... then they can stop BMB (bitchin, moanin, and bellyachin) over all the ethnic group's having their own organization's and such ... that's all they whine about constantly ... I talked to several Aryan member's, who do nothing but whine, whine, whine.
Thanx Guy ....
Sorry ...I meant Joe Barton trashing regular old school light bulb's.
mostly for turning away Veteran's from a bunk for the night cause they didnt have $10 buck's. Another crooked organization ... if I was a kid again ... I'd probably rob their kettle's. :)
Rob their kettles, then give the cash to the vets so they'd have the lousy ten bucks for a night.....that would be real charity.
No .... geeeezzz ... I fucked up again ... it must be my bloody age! Barton WAS trashing flourescent bulb's as I came back to say ..... Jesus, Larry, and Harry!! (the same sex "Trinity" by the way)
Yes indeed, rob the kettle's and give it to the Vet's ... that'll work Guy!! :) Them goddamn Fred Phelps suit wearing mother fucker's!!
I love the "selective outrage" cartoon. One time a buddy sent me a photo of the capital mall completely devoid of any people. He titled it: "Islamic Peace Demonstration".
Robert the Skeptic: I got one for you Robert ... how bout 2 bird's with one stone, heh? Islamic and Catholic Peace .... just Nuke fucken Mecca and Vatican City. :)
Just wanted to add .... another excellent link you posted that had me going was "Harry's Place" on "Protesting Death Penalty in Denmark" and AOL News on "Artist tortures Santa"! :)
I'll save the comment's on this ... since I know you know how I stand here.
and Thanx to Mendip as well
