Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

Good to Know

I guess it is nice to know that certain members of the Indiana state Republican party aren’t completely and totally batshit insane:

A controversial proposed bill to prohibit gays, lesbians and single people from using medical procedures to become pregnant has been dropped by its legislative sponsor.

State Sen. Patricia Miller, R-Indianapolis, issued a one-sentence statement this afternoon saying: “The issue has become more complex than anticipated and will be withdrawn from consideration by the Health Finance Commission.”

Miller had asked that committee — a panel of lawmakers who meet when the Indiana General Assembly is not in session to discuss possible legislation — to recommend the bill to the full legislature when it meets in January.

Under her proposal, couples who need assistance to become pregnant — such as through intrauterine insemination; the use of donor eggs, embryos and sperm; in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer or other medical means — would have to be married to each other. In addition, married couples who needed donor sperm and eggs to become pregnant would be required to go through the same rigorous assessment process of their fitness to be parents as do people who adopt a child.

Miller had earlier acknowledged that the legislation would be “enormously controversial.” It had already drawn fire from the Indiana Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood of Indiana.

We got a live one here, I think, and I hope Patricia Miller turns out to be as endlessly entertaining as Utah’s Chris Buttars.

    For my part, I wonder who had what on Miller to get her to reverse herself on this. She’d obviously been playing to the Indiana right, and those people don’t like to be teased.

    “The issue has become more complex than anticipated and will be withdrawn from consideration by the Health Finance Commission.”

    WTF?

    Didn’t The Onion have a story about a week ago—“Bill introduced as joke signed into law” or words to that effect? Maybe a similar story here.

    Here’s hoping, at least.
