Oh the Things I Find...

Being awesome only looks like a lot of work.

Let’s take only the Obama presidency. Had the filibuster not applied, the United States would have a market-based system to control carbon emissions, which would limit the damage from global warming, vitalize the clean technology sector, and challenge other large polluters like China and India to do the same. The new health care law would have a public option. Children of undocumented immigrants who served two years in the military or went to college could become US citizens. Women paid less than their male colleagues because of their gender would have broader legal recourse against their employers. Billionaires would not be able to manipulate the political system from behind a veil of anonymity.

This is such a sad ‘what-if exercise….

*sigh* Fucking Republicans…doing their best to screw over anyone that isn’t a rich, white, business owner.

factsandchicks: Every member of US Congress gets a free porn magazine every month, whether they like it or not. source “Every month Hustler is mailed, uninvited and for free, to some of the offices of Members of the United States Congress. This practice began at some point between 1974 and 1983, and it continues as of 2010. Not all offices receive a copy.” Well apparently not every member. Still funny though.

psychoslut: (via imgTumble) I don’t understand why this is so difficult to comprehend. You’re free to believe in whatever imaginary sky-being you want but that doesn’t mean you’re free to use your imaginary sky-being as a reason for hatred and bigotry.

Missouri taxpayers cough up $1100 for a security camera to guard a bust of Rush Limbaugh

stfuconservatives:

It’s bad enough that Missouri conceded to having a bust of Rush Limbaugh created and then put in the Hall of Famous Missourians. To add insult to injury, they’ve also used state funds to buy an $1100 security camera to make sure no one defaces it.

I’d be more pissed that taxpayer money was spent on a bust of a homophobic, bigoted, racist in the first place. Missouri, please tell me you aren’t actually proud of the fact that such a vile human being is from your state.
