I'm sorry, but this needs to be discussed openly...
cajunboy:
Daily Kos lays down a pretty compelling argument that Sarah Palin’s covering up the fact that her 16 year old daughter, not her, gave birth four months ago to her most recent child.

– Peggy Noonan on tonight’s acceptance speech by Obama at the DNC convention. (via cajunboy)
Fair, but you know what? Every single aspect of this convention has been a ‘gamble’. What was Hillary going to say? Is Bill on board? Are they highjacking the convention? Did they waste their...

Please take your commenters back. We tried them on Tumblr and they were no fun.

CBS News: Did Hillary Mean It? →
I’ve been absolutely mind fuckingly boggled at the lengths everyone seems to be going today to spin Hillary’s excellent speech in a million little dumb directions. As anyone who followed this blog through the primaries knows, there are no Hillary haters greater than I am. None. But calling her speech last night anything less than phenomenal and impassioned is pure cynical, manipulative...

Clinton delegate and Los Angeles women’s lawyer Gloria Allred grabbed a napkin from the tables at the California delegation breakfast this morning and wore it as a gag to protest not being allowed to speak at the breakfast.
“I was not elected to be a potted plant,” Allred said through her gag, holding up DNC rules that say delegates must vote as they are elected. Californnia...

I am a 36 year old African American woman. I have two girls ages 10 and 8. The country does not get the full import of this moment. My daughters and I sat together along with my husband to watch Michelle Obama tonight. Mr. Sullivan, we were all in tears. This is a day that cannot be fully described. This country has systematically oppressed Black women for centuries. My ancestors were...

this is the first time in my life I’m actually happy with something Chris Matthews said. Like, proud of him. Like, sitting here saying to the screen, “Way to go, Chris, way to go!”
Shit, the world must be coming to an end.

Earlier this week, in an interview with the Washington Post, Tommy Chong was asked what the average citizen can do to further the cause of decriminalization. “Check out the people you’re voting for,” Chong replied. “For instance, Joseph Biden comes off as a liberal Democrat, but he’s the one who authored the bill that put me in jail. He wrote the law against shipping drug paraphernalia through...

I guess it probably wasn't red wine?
After signing a controversial deal to install an American anti-missile defence shield on Polish territory, only a few days after Russia’s short war with Georgia, the US secretary of state and her Polish counterpart sat down to dinner in Warsaw and toasted the pact with Georgian wine, it emerged yesterday.
