Huh. Certainly under the radar in the media. http://www.vox.com/2014/9/30/6846367/mike-pence-2016

And Abraham Lincoln was a Republican while Democrats supported slavery. The dates of these things are revealing.

. . . I'd take him.

Fantastic long read. Too many good parts to quote so I'll just go with this one: http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2014/12/the-tragedy-of-the-american-military/383516/

What/who specifically are you talking about? And Fox is indisputably the worst of the bunch. The other two have inherent bias but they are still news organizations. Fox isn't a news organization . . . it's a GOP propaganda arm. Here's some proof. This is their coverage of this story over the last 24 hours: Eh?

I think that if Obama had been the featured speaker at a Weather Underground event that it would be a big deal. Nah, according to Fox News, racism is now only found in history books..... Oddly enough . . . Fox is entirely silent. They must not have received the officially approved messaging yet. Go see for yourself . . . go to Fox News and search for "Scalise." Zero results from the last 24 hours. Fair and balanced. Heh.

I think that if Obama had been the featured speaker at a Weather Underground event that it would be a big deal.

Here's the problem though, the Democrats have leaders that have very questionable ties to some bigoted folk. Which ones?

If someone has ANY doubt as to whether Scalise knew exactly who he was talking to they need to refresh their knowledge of La. political history. We will learn a bit more about who the GOP is and what they stand for from their reaction to this news. My guess? It's shrugged off and he keeps his leadership position. Alternatively they can prove that they don't deserve their reputation as the party of bigotry.

Wow. Just when I though that my cynicism mostly prevented me from being stunned about political revelations. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2014/12/29/house-majority-whip-scalise-acknowledges-speaking-at-white-nationalist-event-in-2002/?postshare=4511419886090562

Dammit, guys. I've already spent close to $300 on brewing equipment and ingredients. Sigh. On a lighter note . . . if anyone needs a burner this is a really good deal:http://www.homebrewfinds.com/2014/12/reader-tip-kab6-banjo-propane-burner-80-28-shipped-best-price.html

This is true . . . and quite different than the false claims made by Brownback and company when they touted that their supply side economics would prevent a drop in revenue. I'm not sure how many times we are going to have to rediscover that cutting taxes doesn't increase revenue.

I don't know much about the Cobra's but if you want cheap reliability it's tough to beat Hi-Point. They're clunky, they're heavy, they're ugly . . . BUT they go bang every time you pull the trigger. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/21_268/Hi-Point+Firearms/

Was that the Brewers Best HBA kit? Northern brewery kit Ah. Northern Brewery seems to have a better reputation for freshness.

And this shows . . . what? And your statement showed.....what? That what seems to be a completely indefensible police shooting didn't spark a protest when the offending officer was fired and prosecuted. Your turn.

And this shows . . . what?

That officer was fired and is being prosecuted. The part where the guy asks "why did you shoot me, sir?" really hurts. And look, no riots or protests. Crazy!

Wait a second . . . the IRS "admitted" the bold . . . and you're going to try to pretend like that confirms and validates the fantastical claims made by the GOP about IRS targeting? Unless Issa chose to only release the least relevant facts that's going to be a tough hill to climb.

Right. Just move on to the next fake scandal. Don't question it . . . just remain outraged. You can just come back to the IRS in a few months when people have forgotten about this embarrassing bit.

And it ends with a whimper. Shocked, I tell you. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/24/us/house-irs-inquiry-shows-no-connections-to-white-house.html The GOP is getting pretty used to these pre-holiday news dumps where they quietly admit that they were totally wrong, aren't they?
