Shorter Christine Flowers: Raping Children “Just a Mistake”, Church Critics Unfair
No, seriously:
The details, while shocking, refer to horrors committed more than 20 years ago, but they’re being used to condemn a church that – more than any other organized faith institution in the world – has made the most public and painful act of contrition in history.
Yes, grievous mistakes were made, under a veil [...]
SCOTUS Decision
So the Supreme Court has spoken, and America is no longer a nation, but a subsidiary of the the Corporation. The Democracy Experiment was fun while it lasted, but apparently we were not able to keep our Republic, as Franklin had hoped.
It’s gonna be quite a ride for the foreseeable future, because if this [...]
Seth Williams Gets Off on the Wrong Foot

This Doesn’t Happen at Bluegrass Festivals
The real disaster, one fan said, was just outside the ballpark – where country-music fans, or folks who simply showed up to party at 92.5 WXTU’s free 25th anniversary show at the Susquehanna Bank Center, turned the Camden waterfront parking lots into the Wild West.
“I’m a very liberal person. I go to the Mummers Parade [...]
WaPo’s Dana Milbank and Chris Cilizza are Buffoons.
this is almost too painful to watch:
…but after firing actual reporter Dan Froomkin and throwing a temper tantrum over Huffington Post’s Nico Pitney at the White House press conference yesterday, it’s well worth watching to see exactly the caliber of reporting one can expect from the debased and humiliated Washington Post.
