There are plenty of companies led by homophobes and giving donations to shitty politicians. But the fact that they’re the only chain company in our modern mostly-secular civilization that closes its doors on Sunday makes it into a religious organization.

– Bad news for Mitt Romney? The sport in which his wife Ann’s horse is competing is viewed positively by less than half of polled Americans. (via yahoopolitics)
Because it is a ridiculous sport! I don’t care about its therapeutic benefit or “oh but it requires so much control.” It...

Maybe your god is trying to tell you something… JUSSAYIN’
Remember that awful tweet about the news when someone Obama visited died, that said something along the lines of, “Looks like Obama has one less vote this election?”
Can we (and by we, I mean people that identify themselves as liberal/progressive) please show a bit more class? It’s one thing to attack the...
wilwheaton:
Republicans aren’t just occasionally taking Obama quotes out of context; they’re actually building their entire 2012 campaign strategy around sentiments the president didn’t actually say.
As we discussed last week, at this point in the race, Republicans aren’t just occasionally taking Obama quotes out of context; they’re actually building their entire...

Liberal logic.
Personally, I find both equally atrocious.
I’d think a lot of other liberals would too.
Yeah, pretty sure we’re spending tons of time railing against exploitative companies.
Why do conservatives think we are only capable of being upset at one thing? Yeah you’ll hear about certain ones more...

Tampered
Wait a minute, Romney deliberately altered the meaning of the President’s words. Actually, he was talking about, ‘building infrastructure and education, not that individuals don’t build their businesses.
Romney’s been caught doing this before. Another attack ad was called ‘a blatant fast one for manipulating video of the President’. See the whole tape and decide for...

– Mitt Romney
And wouldn’t y’know it? According to a new AP report that’s a complete and utter lie.
Multiple associates have confirmed that he came back to the office a number of times (honestly, why wouldn’t he?) and thus can very reasonably be implicated in the outsourcing...

Jim Henson Company Cuts Ties with Chick-Fil-Hate

From The Jim Henson Company Facebook page:
The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over fifty years and we have notified Chick-Fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors. Lisa Henson, our CEO is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received from...

justinspoliticalcorner:
Some of the first investors in Mitt Romney’s firm Bain Capital, according to a report on the Los Angeles Times, were Salvadoran families living in Miami with members accused by the US government of funding death squads in the brutal civil war in El Salvador.
When Bain Capital was founded in 1984, Romney and his partners had trouble raising funds for their initial...

Tragedies like today only reaffirm that belief. There’s no way to know what someone, even someone with a pristine record, might do with the handheld power to kill someone.

I didn’t want to talk about Tosh anymore.
Despite the fact that I made a few posts about it on Thursday and didn’t bring it up again, over the weekend my Askbox was overloaded with dudes telling me why I’m wrong and asking why I’m on a witch hunt against a hard-working comedian and why do I hate humor and what about FREEDOM OF SPEECH? and all that bullshit. SO HERE WE ARE...
Why Now; Why It Matters
tpmmedia:
I hope it’s not too obvious to note this. But there’s another aspect of the Bain storm that is critical to recognize. Mitt Romney has had a disastrous few days. Maybe it will go on for another day or another week. But at some not too distant point in the future we’ll be on to something else. And yet both campaigns get that this skirmish is a battle for one of the biggest prizes of the...

Quick Reality Check
Mitt Romney made/makes a shit load of money
Much of it came from a company that is in charge of making other companies profitable no matter what, up to and including dissolving the company or outsourcing the employees. Which is legal but dishonest.
His official filings put him in charge of that company through 2002, most of the outsourcing happened between 99 and 2002. While I’m sure he...
