Louisiana Congressman Duped by The Onion ‘Abortionplex’ Satire
John Fleming (R-Idiot) fell for a nine-month-old hilarious article in The Onion which touted the grand-opening of an Abortionplex: TOPEKA, KS—Planned Parenthood announced Tuesday the grand opening of its long-planned $8 billion Abortionplex, a sprawling abortion facility that will allow the organization to terminate unborn lives with an efficiency never before thought possible.

Early Morning Open Thread: MLK Day
Eugene Robinson, in the Washington Post: He would be an elder statesman now, a lion in winter, an American hero perhaps impatient with the fuss being made over his birthday. At 83, he’d likely still have his wits and his voice. Surely, if he were able, he would continue to preach, to pray — and [...]

In the Annals of Small Government Conservatism
The right wing sure does love themselves freedom and liberty and avoiding oppression from an overbearing government, don’t they: Sen. Vaneta Becker, R-Evansville, has introduced a bill that would set specific “performance standards” for singing and playing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at any event sponsored by public schools and state universities. The law also would cover [...]

This is, hands down, the lamest attempt to smear someone as anti-Semitic as I have ever seen. Just pathetic.

Guns in the House
Yesterday, in a neighborhood very near mine, a 53 year-old mother shot her 10 year-old daughter and her 79 year-old father twice each with a 12 gauge shotgun, and then turned it on herself. The woman’s husband (and little girl’s father) found the three in the house after returning from an errand his wife had [...]

Mad Enough To Eat Concrete
Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, still a massive problem, still under-reported by our Village betters, still every data point we get on the extent of the disaster is “worse than previously thought.” And now some eight months plus after the accident, we get a clearer picture. Molten nuclear fuel at Japan’s Fukushima plant might have [...]

Siri and Apple: Abortion Madness
Really? can’t we all get a grip? Look, I’m all for equality, and I’m as pro-choice as a woman can be. But this kerfuffle over Siri not providing abortion locations to iPhone 4s is a serious mountain/mole-hill situation. Apparently, Apple has been catching flak from pro-choice advocates because Siri does not provide information (or fails [...]

Ugly War Stories: “No one can go to Dover and feel as though everything is right in the world “
I am not qualified to add anything here, but this is not to be missed. Chris Jones, in Esquire: My visit to the Port Mortuary at Dover Air Force Base in late 2007, part of my research for the story “The Things That Carried Him,” was maybe the most haunting experience of my career. That [...]

Shorter Rand Paul on the Cain Scandal: “Bitches, Man. Bitches.”
Rand Paul will say anything. Rand Paul is all torn up about this Herman Cain business. Not because sexual harassment in the workplace is a scourge that should be eradicated so that women and men at work can concentrate on putting those red covers on their TPS reports, rather than warding off unwanted games of [...]

Speaking of incoherent speaking
ABL wrote something below that reminded me of a seemingly forgotten nugget from those sepia-toned years way back in Bush junior’s first term. Did anyone else watch shrub’s live address after the New York blackout in 2003? Completely. Shitfaced. I mean beet-red, unable to frame a sentence in common English, needs help to and from [...]

Dennis Ritchie, RIP
A lot of the software that you use on your Mac, PC or Linux computer, not to mention your cell phone, is coded in some variant of the C language he invented. Every OS X Mac, and almost every major website, runs on a descendant of the Unix operating system, which he co-developed at Bell Labs in [...]

Voter Suppression Depression? Time To Fight Back
I said in my introduction that Republican voter suppression efforts are the major issue facing this country right now, and if this study is anywhere close to accurate the time to start pushing voter registration and education efforts is now. Restrictive voting laws in states across the country could affect up to five million voters [...]

The following are the results of Hot Air’s Monthly Presidential Candidate Poll Results.
