  1. Yes.  Well.

    I will be chatting with my friends the Furies (we are getting quite chummy) and I will refer them to your post.  Probably puttting Kimberly right at the top of the list.

    The link to the MoJo story on Garland reminds me of the parable of the mote and the beam (or, as it is now often translated, the speck of dust and the log).  How right wing adherents can come up with stuff like this out of absolutely nothing at all, while at the same time ignoring or even or even praising fellow right wing adherents who are actually criminals, such as Gov. Sntder and Gov. Walker, continues to take my breath away.   I said criminals – I might just as well have said criminal lunatics.

  2. Good collection.

    Hurry mode!!
