As much as I’d like to think Santorum is especially sociopathic, we all know every last one of those candidates has probably called Barack Obama a nigger in their spare time. Santorum is just the lucky goose who fucked up and said it on camera. You know Mittens is gonna watch that shit tomorrow and be like, “Damn, Rick. You can’t say that on television.”

Health care is incredibly mundane in the civilized world. It’s in the same boring, civic-mechanical area as sewerage and water works, municipal bond issues, and public education. It would never occur to anyone to use it as a means to reward the ‘just’ and punish the ‘unworthy’.
You make it...

Set Off Your Medical Pendant, Get Shot
amaditalks:
A 68 year old black Marine veteran was shot and killed in his own home in White Plains, NY after police responded to a “medical emergency” call when the man accidentally activated his medical assistance pendant device.
In the middle of the night, police banged on his door until he was roused from sleep, demanded entry, when he refused (because he was not ill) they broke down the...

Study: Conservatives Distrust Science (no shit!)
holygoddamnshit:
So it’s not just Rick Santorum. A study released on Thursday shows that conservatives’ mistrust of science is at an all-time low, while liberal and moderate support has remained flat since 1974. According to the poll conducted by UNC-Chapel Hill sociologist Gordon Gauchat, just 35 percent of conservatives said they had a “great deal of trust in science.” Gauchat said many...

Here’s another indicator that the job market is getting stronger.
Applications for weekly unemployment benefits fell by 5,000 to a seasonally adjusted 359,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. That’s the fewest applicants since April 2008. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, declined to 365,000 – the fewest for that measure since May 2008.

Love how all those “job creators” will hastily fire any employee who dares to protest unfair, unsafe or illegal working conditions.

National Organization for Marriage is a vile, monstrous hate group.
Their actual plan is to encourage self-segregation as a way of ghettoizing people of color and encouraging POC to focus their frustrations on gays, which will also ensure that POC remain the focus of discussions of cultural homophobia.

An excellent point someone raised in response to this post. Yes, it’s difficult and annoying to accept, but just because someone doesn’t want to date you (or continue to date you) does not mean they are an awful person with no taste who will likely die alone on the toilet.
So while rejection always hurts, pay attention to the way you were rejected or broken up with. Was this person...
