"The Republican National Committee’s health insurance plan covers elective abortion – a procedure the party’s own platform calls “a fundamental assault on innocent human life." - Darryl from Bookmarklet

The GOP/conservative stance on choice is all just empty utopian moralizing. Not practical, real-life policy. - Christopher Chung

"The South Park team took on the Beck phenomenon – complete with asking questions, accusations of socialism and a massive multi-platform media takeover." - Darryl from Bookmarklet

""During this period demons are assigned against those who participate in the rituals and festivities. These demons are automatically drawn to the fetishes that open doors for them to come into the lives of human beings. For example, most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches."" - Darryl from Bookmarklet

"Most Americans rate the nation's health care as no better than average when compared with health care in other industrialized countries. Just 15% say health care in this country is the "best in the world," while 23% rate it as "above average"; about six-in-ten (59%) view U.S. health care as either "average" (32%) or "below average" (27%)." - Darryl from Bookmarklet

health care receives relatively poor ratings compared with other major U.S. institutions and systems. About eight in-ten (82%) say either that the U.S. military is the best in the world (42%) or that it is above average (39%). Majorities also rate the nation's scientific achievements (65%) and standard of living (63%) as either the best in the world or above average, while half (50%) say this about the U.S. political system. - WarLord

"As a general principle, I think, conservatives  believe (a) what we’ve inherited from the past should be protected from change (because it is inherited, no other justification necessary) and (b) attempts to change people and society will generally make life worse, not better." - Darryl from Bookmarklet

"Yeah, apparently circumcision is not just a Jewish thing but an actual gov't mandate in this great nation of ours. Here's a bit of the chatter compliments of the fine Americans over at the site Free Republic:" - Darryl from Bookmarklet

I'm so disgusted by the assertion I could just spit. Yeah, circumcision was (and is in some places here in the U.S. still) considered routine. I agree with the blogger...I think secretly, "some" people just wanna see if the rumors are true. - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

"Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele's pledge this week to "protect Medicare" might have been more convincing had it not come five months after nearly four-fifths of House Republicans voted to literally end the program as we know it for all Americans younger than 55" - Darryl from Bookmarklet

As well, didn't it come the _same week_ Steele also said that he didn't think Medicare worked? http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009... - Andrew C

"In a sign that it is trying to shore up its bipartisan credentials, the Obama administration today announced that it is reaching across the aisle to fill two diplomatic posts. Tapped to be ambassador of Argentina is beleaguered South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, while outgoing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has been named ambassador to Mars." - Darryl from Bookmarklet

I would have thought Palin would get the Ambassador to Russia job, given her deep familiarity with them. - Kevin Pedraja

LOL Kevin...:D - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

"Judging from last night's performance, Lou Dobbs is pinning his hopes on salvaging the tattered shreds of his credibility on claiming that, gosh, he was just reporting objectively on the "birther" controversy" - Darryl from Bookmarklet

Poor Lou, he thought he'd be rolling in all those billions from Space.com by now. - Adi

"What's this? ESPN has posted a story about a civil suit involving an NFL player even though there are no criminal charges filed? I thought their policy was not to report on civil suits. I guess the network's lame and nearly laughable excuse for ignoring the Ben Roethlisberger rape lawsuit last week was as vapid and empty as it sounded." - Darryl from Bookmarklet

+1 Darryl. Good pull - ESPN can't keep the excuses straight here. - Bill Sodeman

This is a great quote: "Several years ago, a producer spoke to me about co-hosting a show on the NFL Network, unaware of my exile. After that, another producer called me to discuss the New York Giants, but later called back, apologetic, saying he was unaware I was banned until he was informed by a high-ranking member of management." - Daniel J. Pritchett

"Not content with being a sports colossus with broadcasts in 200 countries, ESPN is taking aim at hometown sports coverage, threatening one of the last strongholds of local newspapers and television stations." - Darryl from Bookmarklet

Be afraid, America. - Bill Sodeman

Be very afraid ... :( - Amani

"Eight days after admitting to an extramarital affair, Sen. John Ensign gave $5,000 to the Tennessee gubernatorial campaign of Rep. Zack Wamp – a fellow Republican who lives with Ensign in a Christian group house on Capitol Hill’s C Street." - Darryl from Bookmarklet

Where were you for the fist bump heard ‘round the world? The dap that changed America? The knuckles that knocked these United States into a new post-racial era? - Darryl from Bookmarklet

Curt Levey, the executive director of the Committee of Justice, has been optimistic about the right's fight against Sotomayor, but he admitted to TWI that he "underestimated the degree to which a few conservatives would say a few extreme things, and that would be characterized as what all conservatives think." - Darryl from Bookmarklet

Key leaders of the "conservative" movement have marched right off the cliff. One wonders if this movement will ever be able to rebuild itself into a viable presence in American politics. - Sean McBride

"Animal experts have been left baffled by the fluffy white moggy, who was born normal - but began growing wing-shaped appendages on either side of his spine when he was just a year old." - Darryl from Bookmarklet

Why have I seed the cat's with wings thing already? Freaky... - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF

Then it should be quite profitable. - Todd Hoff

I wonder when the administration's book clubs will start? - Katy S

"At the meeting I was attempting to explain that unlike Sen. Schumer, I believe in traditional values, like we used to see on 'The Andy Griffith Show,'" he explained. "I made the mistake of referring to Sen. Schumer as 'that Jew' and I should not have put it that way as this took away from what I was trying to say." - Darryl from Bookmarklet

uh "I should not have put it that way as this took away from what I was trying to say" Oh is that why you should not have put it that way..duh, Mr Hendren FAIL!!! - Myrna
