FUCKIN’ MERICA: Mitchell asked, “You have an anti-homosexual law Uganda. And now Arizona is looking into whether it will allow gays and lesbians into restaurants. Doesn’t this show other countries how we feel about homosexuality in our states?” Kerry responded that he was “counting on” Brewer to make the right decision on the bill. “I cannot imagine how the law would withstand the scrutiny of the Supreme Court of the United States,” Kerry said. “So I would hope that she’ll make the right decision.” Kerry added that “this is not an easy path for the United States. But what’s important … Continue reading Happy Kerry Photo

Happy Democrat Photo: Civil Disobedience Edition

Remember when this Congress was going to be about immigration reform so that Republicans could rebuild their party? That seems like a long time ago, which was why there was a pro-reform rally on Capitol Hill today.8 Democratic members of Congress were arrested, including the dapper Congressman from Harlem, Charlie Rangel. The only cuffs Rangel is usually associated with are French, not hand. I really like the shit eating grin on his face in the picture above, which was taken by the AP’s Jose Luis Magana. Keep smiling, Charlie. Continue reading Happy Democrat Photo: Civil Disobedience Edition

They Just Never Get Tired of Bashing Kerry

God Almighty, now it’s suspicious that Teresa was sick: “So he’s definitely not on his boat until the pictures actually show up. And then, ‘Okay, he was on his boat,’” Beck said on his radio program. “And you expect me to believe that Mrs. Ketchup is in critical condition? I mean, no offense, maybe she is.” First of all, the boat thing is bullshit. Kerry was on his boat for ten minutes while Egypt was doing whatever it was doing. Last I checked, the following things were true: 1. It is 2013, and we have phones that connect to satellites … Continue reading They Just Never Get Tired of Bashing Kerry

Then Sometimes You Win

This is what a badass looks like. This bill was gonna pass, you guys. I mean, come on. It had passed other places, this was a red state, and how many times have we lost these fights? How many times have we had our hopes crushed already? How many times have we heard people talk nobly about how they did all they could, and what more do you expect? I’ll tell you what more I expect. I expect this. In every state legislature. In every state in the union. In every day of every month of every year in which … Continue reading Then Sometimes You Win

My Favorite Version of the Star Spangled Banner

Is this one, sung by a bunch of Americans outside the White House on the night Obama won the election in 2008: It’s such a fierce sound. And I know it’s tempting to focus on all the failures of the past six years, on all the ways we haven’t lived up to that moment. Those failures are real, and some of them are on issues that are very important to me. But in that time, DOMA’s been ditched, we have at least the beginnings of a national health care system, the Republican party on the national level at least has … Continue reading My Favorite Version of the Star Spangled Banner

THIS MAH BIG PLANE. In Iraq, we are apparently vaguely disappointed to not be blowing it up anymore: Mr. Kerry’s visit to Iraq on Sunday was the first by an American secretary of state since 2009. He came at a time when concerns are growing over Iraq’s role in the crisis in Syria, and when the United States’ influence in Iraq has been dwindling. The State Department has been sharply reducing its huge presence here, and its diplomats have seemed powerless to affect the course of events on two of Washington’s pressing concerns: Iraqi tolerance for the Iranian weapons shipments … Continue reading Happy Kerry Photo
