“Journalists trawling for leaks should be willing to share the risks” [Darleen Click]
Is there nothing Obama supporters won’t say to excuse trampling on the First Amendment? Apparently not. The value to democracy of a courageous and unfettered press poking into back corners that agencies would rather keep hidden is incontrovertible. But I find myself wondering why journalists shouldn’t shoulder some responsibility for transgressions they often goad their sources to commit. […] National security staffers’ careers can be wrecked over how they handle

June fundraiser begins today [sticky; new posts appear below; WEDNESDAY UPDATE]
I realize many of you helped me out a week or two back when I had some weekend snafu with the bank, and I appreciate that. This, however, is something different.

Jesse Ventura: giving mendoucious twatwaffles a bad name [Darleen Click]
Pusillanimous, soulless, chum-sucking cockroach is suing the widow of Chris Kyle. Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura is setting his legal sights on the widow of a former Navy SEAL he had sued for defamation.

Nothing to see … Washington (CNN) – The Internal Revenue Service has told House GOP investigators they have identified 88 IRS employees who may have documents relevant to the congressional investigation into targeting of conservative groups, according to a congressional source familiar with the investigation. The IRS asked these employees to preserve all the “responsive documents” on their computers, and it has been in the process of collecting it all

Oh, I don’t know. So long as reasonable people agree that your speech is offensive…
…what’s the rationale for defending the antiquated need to tolerate HATE when what you could be doing is protecting the civil rights of those under attack by the haters? — Who for the most part are non-Muslim white Christians. And conservatives, whose latent domestic terror proclivities hang threateningly over a compassionate nation dedicated to social justice and multiculturalism. The First Amendment isn’t absolute, after all, and if you push for

“Kindergartner Who Brought Cap Gun to School Interrogated for Two Hours and Suspended”
To put this in perspective, adults — presumably sanctimonious, rule-humping, zero-tolerance drones over the age of consent and capable of voting, buying alcohol, and legitimately purchasing and downloading porn — berated and questioned for two hours, before administering punishment that called for mandatory removal from school for 10 days — someone who likely has Mater or Buzz Lightyear or Scooby-Doo on his (almost certainly) semi-dirty Underoos. And no, I’m not

Ted Cruz calls for abolition of the IRS; Joe Scarborough responds by adjusting his Maddow glasses, sniffing
— Alt least, that’s how I see t in my mind’s eye. And he isn’t alone. The vast majority of the GOP establishment would do the same, were they able to pull off the Maddow specs the way metrosexual Joe does. I mean, abolish the IRS? Seriously? What kind of far-right, racist, Birch-society anarcho-capitalist wacko bird extremist Hobbity nonsense is that? How would the nuances of the political game be
