I have 3 weeks left one this tour. I was asked to keep this private until the end of the tour, I say it’s close enough.
Being on tour with ICP has completely lost it’s novelty. This is a dark, lost sub-culture. I never knew that it was possible for so many people across the country to collectively subject themselves to, and then proceed to...
Swiss Vote to Ban Construction of Minarets on... →
The surprise result, banning minarets in a country that has only four mosques with minarets and no major problems with Islamist militancy, stunned the Swiss establishment, which was bracing itself for a backlash in the Middle East.
The result looks likely to cause strife where there was relative peace, sully the country’s image abroad, damage investment and trade with the Muslim world,...

Right and Left Join Forces on Criminal Justice -... →
In the next several months, the Supreme Court will decide at least a half-dozen cases about the rights of people accused of crimes involving drugs, sex and corruption. Civil liberties groups and associations of defense lawyers have lined up on the side of the accused.
But so have conservative, libertarian and business groups. Their briefs and public statements are signs of an emerging consensus...

(1) We support smaller government, smaller national debt, lower deficits and lower taxes by opposing bills like Obama’s “stimulus” bill;
America is $12 trillion in debt. The stimulus plan cost $787 billion (and as for those scare quotes, it was apparently worth it). But that doesn’t matter. Whether you agree with the stimulus or not, it isn’t up for renewal. It happened. So...

California representative Dana Rohrabacher on Twitter:
Obama moves terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to NYC, putting a bullseye on that city again.
Again?

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the Senate health care bill would cost $849 billion over 10 years, according to a senior Democratic source and an administration official.
The office projects that the measure would reduce deficit by $127 billion and insure an additional 31 million Americans, according to the sources.

The funniest thing about this list is that the Comedy Network blog tried to claim Wanda Sykes and Dane Cook should have been on it.
Dave Attell and Mike Birbiglia are totally underrated, BTW.

New York Times OpEd by Wesley K. Clark, the former supreme commander of NATO and Kal Raustiala, law professor and the director of the Burkle Center.
Cases like this illustrate that in the years since 9/11, the Bush administration’s approach to terrorism has created more problems than it has solved. We need to recognize that terrorists, while dangerous, are more like modern-day pirates...
Sarcasm: Lost on Liberals? →
This is awesome. Think Progress has a video up of liberal syndicated columnist Mark Shields (who I watch every Friday PBS’s Shields and Brooks) quite obviously making a joke about longing for a “manly man” president. Here’s the full quote:
We have a president of real intellectual horse power who is cool, detached and analytical and if anything you can watch the emotional...

The country faces a fundamental disconnect between the services the people expect the government to provide, particularly in the form of benefits for older Americans, and the tax revenues that people are willing to send to the government to finance those services. (wsj)

HAH! Remember the Obamas’ visit to the UK? Remember how Michelle, gasp, touched the Queen?? Remember how Obama completely ruined his presidency and our friendship with the British FOREVER when he referred to the UK as “England”? Remember how EMBARRASSED the entire conservative population of America was? Because they are SO CONCERNED with the customs of our allies? Or,...

We’re doomed. We’re so doomed. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), the author of the end-of-life provisions that somehow miraculously found their way into the House’s final health care bill, describes the insane process through which the ridiculous “death panel” lie was concocted and inflated and repeated. It says so much about the sorry state of our political process, the...

I don’t really care about yesterday’s announcement regarding Obama’s decision to try KSM in federal courts. If there wasn’t so much fanfare being made about the whole thing, my reaction would have probably been a fairly straightforward “finally.” But wow, predictably, the Right is losing their shits. These trials combined with the Ft. Hood shooting has steered...

What? I mean 12,000 times is a bit excessive, but who doesn’t love a good sneeze? Would you rather sneeze 12,000 times a day (roughly eight a minute? or something? math, heh…) or never sneeze again EVER? Tough call.

How to poach an egg like a pro. I like her tip to crack the egg onto a plate first and then slide it off the plate into the pan to avoid breaking the yolk and mussing up the whites.
I can’t tell you how many Sunday mornings have ended in tears and kicking the cat and me punching holes through (proverbial) walls over some bungled poached eggs… Hope...
