Malice In Blunderland

I've said many times that I'm no lawyer, just a layman with a fascination for it. Every now and then, though, something comes up that makes me almost kinda sorta wish I had gone to law school, because it raises the kinds of questions that would now likely cost me a couple of hundred bucks to get answered.

I was quite disappointed when I discovered that it wasn't all about me. But lately, I've been a bit relieved. After all, those "teabaggers" are scary dangerous.

First up, there's that guy who attacked the Pentagon yesterday. He's got "Tea Party" written all over him. A Bush-hating 9/11 truther and pothead who...

Actually, that sounds like Michael Moore.

Planned Parenthood Pushes Sexualization of Ten-Year-Olds

One indication that moonbattery is not just misguided but evil is that progressives have an obsession with corrupting children. This is why, under our Hopey Changey regime of pure moonbattery, our federal "Safe Schools Czar" is a militant pervert associated with NAMBLA. It's also the reason for this:
Anti-Bullying Legislation a Free Speech Killer
