A “senior administration official” leaks to the press that Rove was knee-deep in the U.S. Attorney firings scandal. How long before the right-wing talking point on this becomes, “the ability to fire Attorneys was created by the Patriot Act. So clearly, the leaker needs [...]

I’m sure that Drudge, Limbaugh, and the other right-wingers who attacked Al Gore’s “hypocritical” power consumption at his Tennessee home will rally to his side now that it’s been revealed that onerous local regulations prevented him from installing solar panels on his roof.
It’s clear that the city of Nashville hates freedom, and wants to tell [...]

You know what’s funny? Robots falling down stairs.
