Young master Tanner has acquired a virus. And as happens with such acquisitions by ones so young, he has been running a significant fever. Which means that while the physician overseeing the young master finds such a situation routine and full recovery just a matter of time, a father can lose a great deal of sleep. So know that Dad of Tanner will visit soon as young master is better

Ewwwwww ….. [Darleen Click]
Fatberg A lump of fat the size of a double decker bus has been discovered clogging a London sewer. The Fatberg, described as 15 tonnes of festering food mixed with wet wipes and a host of other disgusting ephemera, was found blocking pipes under Kingston in south London. The revolting mass caused sewage flows through the pipes to be reduced to five per cent of normal capacity and was created

Wendy Davis (D-Gosnell): Majority of American women are just incapable of understanding Women’s Issues, or something … [Darleen Click]
Probably because their heteronormative cissexism and submission to the White Patriarchy has made them gender-traitors on Womyn’s Health THE WEEKLY STANDARD: The supporters of these bans, they argue that there really isn’t much of a difference between what happened in that Philadelphia case with abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell [killing born-alive infants] 23 weeks into pregnancy and legal late-term abortions at 23 weeks. What is the difference between those two, between

Welcome to USA Mach 2: PCUSA
Hear about this from our media yet? Or is it just he Brits who are paying attention to how our dogged, textualist refusal to demand that intent control the interpretive function of determining meaning is — inevitably and inexorably, as I’ve long explained it would — creating an officially-sanctioned list of words and phrases that is approved by the state under the rubric of tolerance, a de facto state-controlled inversion

“How Mike Bloomberg and his anti-gun group are deceiving hundreds of US mayors”
Mayor Bryan Maher [my emphasis]: After seeing the Fox News report on how mayor’s across the country are starting to bolt from Mayor Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns amid feelings they have been misled, I was compelled to share my own story how Mayor Bloomberg and Mayors against Illegal Guns blatantly lied and withheld information to get me and several other of my fellow Mayors to join their organization. I’m

Oh. And while we’re talking Obamacare: King O Approves Plan to Exempt Congress and staffers from Affordable Care Act
Congress, after all, can’t risk a “brain drain” by hiking premiums and risk losing public employees to the thriving private sector, where they are guaranteed the best of all health care plans, can they? I mean, who would be left to write press releases and pass laws funding Cowboy poetry festivals while banning certain shower heads? Market Watch, which originally reported on the exemption later backtracked and tried to explain

“Obamacare hurts parents of special-needs children”
Sometimes I’m not sure what’s worse: that the Democrats run on their “compassion” while systematically turning the part of their base not involved in high-stakes corporatism, public sector subsidies, and crony capitalism into dependents of the state; or the fact that the GOP establishment is so impotent and timid it can’t even articulate this very obvious condition to the American electorate. Instead, they actively fight the conservatives pushing a last

About that ‘phony’ IRS scandal [Darleen Click]
Oh look, a handy-dandy chart compiled by that bastion of right-wing-nut-jobs, NPR House Republicans investigating IRS targeting of groups for extra scrutiny say they have proof conservatives had it worse. A House Ways and Means Committee staff analysis of the applications of 111 conservative and progressive groups applying for tax exempt status found conservative applicants faced “more questions, more denials, more delays,” says committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich. That is,

“Obama isn’t actually out of bold ideas. They’re simply too controversial for him to discuss.” [Darleen Click]
Stanley Kurtz on Obama’s War on Suburbs The truth is, HUD’s new rule is about a great deal more than forcing racial and ethnic diversity on the suburbs. (Regionalism, by the way, is actually highly controversial among minority groups. There are many ways in which both middle-class minorities in suburbs, and less well-off minorities in cities, can be hurt by regionalist policies–another reason those plans are seldom discussed.) The new

Bloomberg’s Greg Giroux: Any disagreement with Obama is teh RAAAAACIST [Darleen Click]
Most mind-boggling, blatantly evil premise to judge people by their race, not their character or behavior, this year. And considering the unconscionable race-baiting and pro-lynch mob demagoguery surrounding the Zimmerman case, that’s a pretty high bar. The core group of Republicans who are pushing the House toward a showdown with the White House over the debt ceiling and government spending is made up of 41 members — all white men
