Crooks and Liars’ Dave Dave Neiwert — who happens to be one of the country’s foremost experts on American-based terrorism and terrorist groups — appeared on Rachel Maddow’s show last night to discuss the terrorist group Hutaree. Neiwert reveals that Hutaree was very well-connected to other groups in the American-based terrorism movement known as the “militia” movement, contrary to what...

And oh, what a difference almost two years make:
By urging lawmakers to lift the federal ban and work with coastal states to open up more areas of the outer continental shelf to exploration, Bush is reinforcing a similar proposal...

Rachel Maddow Incites Violence →
I debated whether or not I even wanted to give this blog a moment’s more attention, and decided to go ahead and post it because as much as I like putting my head in the sand about utterly idiotic people, sometimes I need to take a look around me for a reality check.
This is ABSURD, and I have to wonder about the blogger’s state of mind…I mean sanity…I mean intoxication...

At our Media Decoder blog, The Times’s Brian Stelter writes that Discovery Communications’ TLC cable channel has acquired the documentary series that will feature former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Funny
savagemike:
Funny how the poll over at Pundit Kitchen on the healthcare bill actually makes more sense than the one Fox News posted yesterday.
Hey, Fox News: When a comedy site that also posts photos of cats with horrible grammar can put together a more realistic poll than you guys, I think it’s time to drop the “News” in your name.
Cats are much smarter than most people (though they...

I can sympathize. My car is now 13 years old, and looks awful, but it still runs okay. I look on the bright side. In two years, it will be in ‘antique’ status and annual car tags will be free of cost.

Fingers crossed, please?
I’m applying for a medical marijuana card. You have to jump through some hoops in my state and it’ll still be illegal to buy or sell it, but it does help with my chronic (sometimes debilitating) pain so if I can make it through the hoop jumping hopefully it’ll be worth it.

"What Health Care Reform Means to You"
Portland news reports CBS News Poll:
54% Don’t understand the bill
38% Don’t believe reform will affect them
35% Believe it will hurt

Another Officer-involved shooting in Portland →
This is the third officer-involved shooting by the Portland Police in just over six months.
In February, Reverend Jesse Jackson attended a rally in Portland for an unarmed black man who was killed by police on January 29, and “called the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black man an execution and criticized plans to allow the officer to return to regular duty…”.

Deem and Pass Ditched

This is mildly annoying, since it plays into the right-wing lie that “deem and pass” (used a record number of times under Gingrich and Hastert when they were House Speakers) is unconstitutional:
Democratic leaders have decided to abandon the plan to avoid a direct vote on the Senate health care bill, known as deem and pass.
Instead, multiple Democratic sources told CNN that they will...
