– Designing Streets for Safety [h/t]

– I’m not sure if Sawant would have voted against Kathleen O’Toole if she was the deciding vote (maybe, but it wasn’t the vote she needed to take). But it’s nice to know there will still be some pull to the left on police issues.

– The problem Burk faces however is that the Genesis texts don’t mention genitals or chromosomes as markers of gender, nor do the Genesis texts have a notion of what is essentially mid-nineteenth century biological essentialism. Burk has taken an ancient Israelite mythopoem and has attempted to force onto it a rather vague construct of “biology,” thus obfuscating what would otherwise be a theologically rich text. Like creationists, Burk has attempted to treat the biblical narratives as a science textbook, having assumed that the biblical authors are able to speak biological truths across different times and different cultures. I would recommend Burk actually research gender, biology, and sociology, and how various societies construct their notions of gender, before he writes definitively about it.

– Why does anyone still listen to Donald Trump?

– If a puppet government falls in the desert and the whole world is around to witness it, does it make a sound?

– I think the HA comment threads are worth at least two or three leaf boats.

    Not a single health insurance company on Florida’s ObamaCare exchange has asked to increase its rates for next year, according to a report.

    The news is part of a trend as states publish their proposed premium rates for next year. So far, none of the drastic predictions about rate hikes have materialized, and more insurers are seeking to join the marketplaces.

    Remember all the predictions of Teabagging Republicans?

    Greece!
    Mission Accomplished!
    Deregulation!
    ObamaCare!
    Tax Cuts!
    Romney/Ryan!
    The Collapsing Obama Doctrine!
    etc, etc, etc, ….

    Has there ever been a group of people who have been so consistently WRONG about public policy than Republicans over the last 20+ years?

    Republican’s don’t know their ass from their elbow. GOP = Grand Ole Problems.

    Fucking pathetic bunch of bigots.

    @2
    Sorry to have missed a very important public policy issue that Teabagging Republicans are wrong about; Marriage Equality.

    Remember how ‘gay marriage’ was going to wreck families?
    How’s that prediction working out?

    FYI, BUTThole troll, the date on that article posted by MBS is 6/24/2014

    Your silly Avik Roy Institute crap is decimated – again…

    Aaaannd another EvilAngelical psychopath gets a chance to run for public office in Colorado. He won’t win, of course. The lunatic fringe that votes for people like this in general elections are still just a fringe element. I don’t know why anyone would vote for a guy that openly calls for mass murder in the name of “god”. I suppose it is to be expected. Closing the mental hospitals and the schools is still a major part of the Conservative paradigm. Keep people uneducated, and let the crazies run around free, and pretty soon you have a perfect voting bloc.

    Stay classy Republicans.

    @7 as opposed to – the world is becoming too free, let’s stifle freedom and impose Christian Sharia Law on all. And America is getting to brown, let’s use bleach on everyone. Hail Hitler.

    In all seriousness, not only does it show that Republicans are wrong on same-sex marriage, it proves that they could give two shits about the Constitution and/or Freedom. They only care about one thing, which is themselves. They don’t care about anyone else unless that person is a replica of themselves.

    Hmmm… All the dancing by the HA DUMMOCRETINS over The Hill report

    A news report published Tuesday suggested that not a single insurer would raise rates on Florida’s ObamaCare exchange, a conclusion that turned out to be false.

    Seems MikeFLUBScum is OOOfer two now. http://thehill.com/policy/heal.....in-florida Butt, there is more

    “Some of the insurers that had listed ‘zero’ for their requested rate increase were fibbing to keep their real intentions secret,” Health News Florida reported in a follow-up piece

    At the bottom The Hill wrote… This story was corrected at 9:33 a.m. on June 25.

    So lets see the HA DUMMOCRETIN sychophantic chorus

    clueless crazed cretin – what a BUTT head. And yes with right date but wrong story Avik Roy is still right!

    empty tea bag – Does the stoneless get anything right anymore? Puddy bets the reporter is a DUMMOCRETIN who immediately thought of bestiality and tried to pin it on Cochran!

    OWS Racist Fraggy – A moron unlike any other!

  15. 15

    Now you know the low information voter (read DUMMOCRETIN) won’t even know this happened… http://www.washingtontimes.com.....-searches/ More truth from the WA Times… Obummer’s sadministration and the libtards leading CA state lose again! Unanimous decision. And nuthin from Roger The Thread Roadblock IDIOT Wabbit?

    clueless crazed cretin’s head explodes from the WA Times link.

    Watching Lawrence O’donell on MSNBC. He was showing a clip of Sean Hannity interview Sarah Palin, and she was asked “you think we should create a third party, explain”. I thought she would answer by saying how she would establish a third party, but the pea brain came off with some crazy answer. Later, Steve Schmidt came on and said that those nutballs (my phrasing) wouldn’t know how to organize a three ring circus (or something to that phrasing), maybe Daryll, could put it on Friday Night Extravaganza.

    Lawrence O’Donnell of PMSNBC was thanking the Koch Brothers the other night. http://hotair.com/archives/201.....-of-heart/

    “Yes, I feel some gratitude to David Koch,” O’Donnell confirmed.

    Radical MadCow probably slapped Larry later!

    Funny how HA DUMMOCRETINS skipped right over that REAL NEWS. You won’t see that on the Friday Night Comix page!

    A search of the ‘Nets leaves one with the impression that philanthropy and DUMMOCRETIN are mutually exclusive terms. Now pocketing (running off) with high rolling DUMMOCRETIN money are DUMMOCRETIN seem to be mutually joined.

    Bernie Madoff
    Tom Steyer
    Kareem Ahmed
    Raj Rajaratnam
    Jeffrey Epstein
    …
    …

    Don’t you DUMMOCRETINS remember this from Upchuck Todd? http://www.ijreview.com/2013/0.....ent-top-1/

    McConnell Trails In New Poll

    Kentucky could be a U.S. Senate seat pickup for Democrats. A new poll shows Sen. Mitch McConnell trailing his Democratic challenger, Alison Grimes, 46% – 48%, with only 6% undecided.

    The poll also shows McConnell is wildly out of touch with his constituents on tax issues. Three-quarters of Kentucky’s voters want millionaires and corporations to pay their fair share, and 63% favored closing corporate tax loopholes to pay for a $2.6 billion bridge.

    McConnell wants to pay for the bridge by reducing construction workers’ wages.

    By a unanimous vote, the Supreme Court agreed that the Senate was not in recess, holding that it’s up to both houses of Congress to define when they’re in session or in recess. As a result of the decision, the Senate can frustrate a president’s ability to make recess appointments simply by holding periodic pro forma sessions, a tactic used in recent years by both political parties.

    The question, the court said, is whether the Senate had the capacity to act. It found that during the recess at issue, the court did have that power.

    Clearly a case of unleashed judicial activism. Or racist uprising against a black president. Or those women Obama appointed sure are ungrateful.

    Or something.
