Palin Word Salad Of The Day
The Great Pundit takes on Rachel Dolezal, the white woman who pretended to be black, who headed up the Spokane chapter of the NAACP. Let’s see how far we can wade in before we get tangled and swallowed: Ok, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t laugh… this hard. I know this isn’t a victimless crime, what this white chick perpetrated. But it’s … Read More
Update To Earlier Story
Breaking: Rachel Dolezal, the NAACP chapter president who was accused of pretending to be black, said Monday that she would step down. (see earlier post) [fb_embed_post href=”https://www.facebook.com/spokane.naacp/posts/1623781377868883/” width=”550″/] Too bad. She seemed like an effective leader. It probably wasn’t the “crime” of pretending to be black; it was probably the cover-up (saying that she was actually black).
Gay Marriage Leads To Divorce
You know that silly argument that same-sex marriage harms the institution of marriage? Pretty dumb, right? What do they think is going to happen? If gay people get married, straight married couples will get divorced??? LOL!!! Well, actually, not so LOL. Gay marriage could in fact lead to divorce among straight couples. Or rather, one straight couple. Who are being total dicks … Read More

Same-Sex Marriage Still A Battlefield In North Carolina
This morning, North Carolina legislators in the GOP-controlled state House approved a measure that allows some court officials to refuse to perform same-sex marriage duties because of their religious beliefs. House lawmakers agreed 69-41 to override Governor Pat McCrory’s veto of the bill, which the Senate had done last week. The bill, now a law, allows magistrates and register of … Read More
Some Sarah Word Salad
Why isn’t the dialogue going right now towards hey, let’s get that law enforcement official — he or her — who released this file, this confidential. Who — who has been a victim, is a victim — would ever want to speak out and still be able to trust law enforcement that what they’re being told, with counselors and amongst … Read More
Duggar <> Dunham
So Sarah Palin wrote this: [fb_embed_post href=”https://www.facebook.com/sarahpalin/posts/10153385009473588/” width=”550″/] I worship this. And because no Facebook post by Sarah Palin is ever complete without a moment of total monkeyfuck insanity, the best part is where she jabbers, “Such obvious double standards applied to equally relevant stories underestimate the wisdom of the public, discredit the press, and spit on the graves of … Read More

The Crazy North Carolina Legislature

On Caitlyn Jenner
It’s all been said. Kudos to Caitlyn (former known as Bruce) Jenner (and congrats on the fact that she broke the record previously held by President Barack Obama by reaching 1 million followers in 4 hours and 3 minutes). Yes, she is very pretty. Yes, the Associated Press did a douche-y thing by using the male pronoun. Yes, now that Caitlyn … Read More
The Duggars Get Softball Interview
Okay, the Duggars. One word: ugh. And I could add a lot more to that — about how they’re not really “owning” that their son molested their daughters — but they demonstrated that themselves in an interview with Duggar-friendly Megyn Kelly of Fox News. Raw Story nails this: There was so much to dislike and be horrified by in Jim … Read More
“Pro-Choice” Back On Top

Religious Bigots Use First Amendment Protections To Spew Hate…. Again
Another crazed anti-Muslim right winger — this one in Phoenix — is planning to hold a ‘Draw Muhammad’ Contest right in front of the Islamic Community Center. The organizer of the event, Jon Ritzheimer, has held two protests in Phoenix since the Texas shootings. The chants and slogans at the protests are brash and hateful. Some supporters wear t-shirts that … Read More
