"Every violation of truth is not only a sort of suicide in the liar, but is a stab at the health of human society."
–Ralph Waldo Emerson

Legal pot and the drug cartels http://mic.com/articles/105510/11-months-after-marijuana-legalization-here-s-what-s-happening-to-mexican-cartels
Our Republican Friends are sure to become less radical and more willing to compromise on common sense solutions for both Colorado and the nation any minute now…..right?
Let there be Bipartisanship!
And gold pooping unicorns for everyone!
Results of Republican Gov.Brownback's Tea Party Tax Cuts are now trickling down to school funding, teacher pensions in Kansas.
Let it never be said that once Republicans believe something, like Tax Cuts Increase Tax Revenue, like God Creates Climate Change, or that Pregnancy from Rape is just a little inconvenience for the women-folk, that don't keep believing it come hell or high water.
+++!
YES!!!! 🙂
What is the GOP thinking?
These people are pro-birth, not pro-life – there is a profound difference. There are a thousand striking at the branches, few are striking at the root. I wish we could have a completely different national conversation about 'life', but that appears destined for yet another day. Until then…
"These people are pro-birth, not pro-life." +++++10,000 !!! C.H.B.
Pro-forced birth, more like it.
It's pretty much tradition. In D.C., on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, it's traditional to make some kind of gesture toward your position on the issue. When the President's office switches parties, it's a reversal of the position on Federal funding of organizations overseas that also provide abortions. This time it was the House.
The sad thing (in a way) is how much trouble they had passing their token bill (which will never be signed in to law).
Yes but Republicans keep saying it's Dems who want to make a big issue of this at election time while they know that what people really care about is jobs. Then the first thing elected Republican majority legislatures do is forget about jobs and go after abortion. Jobs, jobs, jobs is just for election season.
Steven King (R-Grand Junction, not the Iowa guy w/ Cantaloupe Calves) pleaded out today, got probation and restitution.
That's okay, Frank. The felony conviction, even though deferred, will pop right to the top of any future Google search of his name, and the misdemeanor official misconduct stays forever and means he'll never work as a cop again. Stick a fork in him.
He won't be unemployed for long…he has done too many favors for fat cats.
John Boehner is a fucking idiot . . .

House Speaker John Boehner’s invitation to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel defies diplomatic norms and common sense.
Yeah, but O saw his Netanyahu and raised him one by inviting the freaking Pope.
Dems need to recruit top tier candidate for US Senate in Florida (ie., someone other than charlie crist) now that Rubio is getting ready to run for president. That seat is in play!
