McConnell: I Support a Ban on Earmarks Now
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has made an about turn by announcing that he now supports a ban on earmarks.

Aww: Westboro Baptist Freaks Get Their Tires Slashed
15. November 2010
Wait, it gets better. No one in town was willing to repair their vehicle. So they had to drive off with two flat tires, find a Wal-mart parking lot, and call AAA. I’m simply devastated by this development, as you can imagine. McALESTER – Members of a Kansas church that protests at military funerals may [...]

Chris Christie to Complaining Gov’t Employee: “Let me help you pack”
14. November 2010
I had to shorten the description for the headline but the employee was doing more than complaining, and he gets paid quite a bit to do what he does. “Let me help you pack.” That’s what Gov. Chris Christie told one of the state’s top administrators when that administrator commented publicly that he could leave [...]
Cindy McCain Flip-Flops on Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell
13. November 2010
She insists that supporting the “NOH8″ campaign and opposing repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” aren’t mutually exclusive positions, but that’s not quite right. The purpose of the former is to label anyone who doesn’t fully support gay marriage a hater. Is it somehow true that you’re a hater for opposing gay marriage but not [...]
Exit Poll: Mike Castle Would Have Won
12. November 2010
Via Taegan Goddard. Many supporters of Christine O’Donnell have hoped to cover for their fateful electoral decision by claiming that giving Mike Castle the nomination wouldn’t have mattered.

Audio: Ed Asner Offers 9/11 Conspiracy Theories
12. November 2010
Yes, the same Ed Asner whose voice starred in the Disney animated film Up. He’s not only a proud socialist but a 9/11 Truther. Apparently he went on Adam Carolla’s show and began spurting his conspiracy theories — something not very welcome by Carolla. “No high-rise has ever gone down by fire,” Asner explains. “Those [...]
The Safety of Nuclear Energy
12. November 2010
I’m an occasional reader of the comedy website Cracked. Some of their articles are just unfunny, others are “Oh my God I’m crying” hilarious. Occasionally a few are really informative. Like this one from today, dealing with media-created dangers. While the author is wrong about terrorism being overblown, this one section is interesting. The section [...]
Murkowski to GOP: Give Me Federal Pork or I’ll Walk
12. November 2010
After all, she was re-elected to bring home the bacon for the pork-loving residents of Alaska. No wonder she’s threatening to walk over the proposed ban on earmarks.
