Hindsight is 20/20; former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor thinks
maybe that the Supreme Court shouldn’t have taken up Bush v.
Gore. If the court -- which O’Connor served on at the time --
hadn’t have stepped in, we might never have had a Pres. Bush II. So yeah, maybe
that wasn’t such a terribly good idea.
Joe Biden supports releasing a Senate report on Bush era torture.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz really is a complete dickweed. He seems to be busy making enemies of everybody. And so the GOP Civil War broadens yet again.
So far, the Republican plan to take hostages in the coming debt ceiling fight makes no sense at all. They seem to want tax reform without raising revenues, which means they’ll be demanding that Democrats give in on a plan that will lead to bigger deficits. I guess because that’s fiscal responsibility.
The world is on pace to reach an atmosperic CO2 level of 400 parts per million "in the next few days." This is a drastically unsustainable number. “The 400ppm threshold is a sobering milestone, and should serve as a wake up call for all of us to support clean energy technology and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, before it’s too late for our children and grandchildren,” said Tim Lueker, an oceanographer and carbon cycle researcher with Scripps CO2 Group.
Members of the American Academy of Pediatrics will head for the capitol tomorrow to urge lawmakers to do something to keep kids safe from gun violence.

Ron Paul joins the rest of the lunatic right in trying to exploit the Boston bombings for political advantage.
Austerity is literally killing people. When your economic
policy isn't working and you still insist on "staying the course," you're just
an idiot. When it has a death toll and you don't want to change, you're a
monster. Economic policies should not have body counts.
Finally, Republicans aren't going to get anywhere with minority voters by
lying about their racist, segregationist past. It doesn't
matter how often they tell the lie. The oppressed remember their pasts much more
vividly than the oppressor, who has incentive to forget. You can get
white Republicans to believe it, because they haven't been told over and over
and over in family histories how things used to be and how it compares with how
things still are. But you can't fool black voters, because they know those
stories too well.
