Could Pat Robertson get any more out of touch with reality?
Yesterday Pat Robertson made another one of his trademark idiotic statements. In response to Maine providing homosexual couples the right to marry, Mr. Robertson went on CBN and opened his mouth to let this shit dribble out:
Here is a transcript, snagged from Think Progress:
HOST: Meanwhile, the New Hampshire legislature has also voted in favor of […]
On “religious freedom” in the workplace…
With the Obama administration looking like they will be rolling back Bush era policies allowing doctors to refuse to perform certain procedures and/or refuse to prescribe or sell certain medications (let’s say RU-486 for example) the Internet’s political debate hotspots have erupted as expected. Over at the Something Awful forums I saw a great […]
Billy Corgan has the right idea, but in the wrong direction.
According to CNET, Billy Corgan (of Smashing Pumpkins fame) went in front of Congress to argue against the exemption that allows terrestrial radio broadcasters to only pay songwriters and publishers, but not artists, for the right to play their music.

The roots of Prohibition can be traced to the mid-1800s when certain Christian groups, particularly Methodists and later Baptists. Many […]
Pharyngula: What word is missing in this story?
Pharyngula: What word is missing in this story?.
A very interesting point by PZ Meyers, why is it that white American conservatives are exempt from the label “terrorist”?
Hell, I’m a white American and I’ve been told I’m supporting “the terrorists” because I’m against the PATRIOT act. I guess being nutty on the conservative side of the […]
Focus on the Family prove their idiocy once again
Those fundamentalist idiots are at it again, this time trying to rile up the red states with an exaggerated letter written from the perspective of an evangelical in 2012 under an Obama administration (PDF).
I hesitate to start on this post because it’s already 11 PM and I have to work tomorrow, but I’ve been thinking […]
