Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you, the 2012...

Michelle Bachmann: "Don’t misunderstand. I am not here bashing people who are homosexuals, who are lesbians, who are bisexual, who are transgender. We need to have profound compassion for people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life and sexual identity disorders.” (2004)
Ron Paul: "The rate of AIDS infection is on the increase again. From the gay point of view, the reasons seem quite sensible. First, these men don't really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners... because sex is the center of their lives, they want it to be as pleasurable as possible, which means unprotected sex. Third, they enjoy the attention & pity that comes with being sick." (1995 in a newsletter)
Rick Perry: "I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. " (2011 in a campaign ad)
Mitt Romney: "I should tell my story. I'm also unemployed." (2011 while speaking to unemployed people in Florida. Romney's net worth is over $200 million.)
Newt Gingrich: "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer." (1994, about his first wife)
Rick Santorum: "Is anyone saying same-​sex couples can’t love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-​in-​law. Should we call these relationships marriage, too?" (2008)
Michelle Bachmann: "Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." (2009 during a debate)
Mitt Romney: "PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air." (2006, when questioned about driving 12 hours with his dog in a cage strapped to the top of his car)

The First And Last: Steve Buscemi: Unrecognized... →

thehobbsboy: A decade ago, the world changed when terrorists slammed planes into the towers of the World Trade Center. As the 10th anniversary approaches (can you believe it’s been that long), untold stories are emerging of heroics performed on 9/11/01 and beyond. One you may not know is the story of famous…

6 times rape is justified by the bible. →

facethewaste: 1. When Used to make one suffer: In Isaiah 13:15-18 Isaiah shares his Prophecy telling us that God is going to make the Babylonians suffer by having their wives raped. Having their children dashed to pieces before their eyes and destroying their city is apparently not enough to torture them. 2. When they are young girls and you’ve conquered their city: In Numbers...

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: A Race!Swap Casting

What a fascinating idea. I back most of the casting, especially Faith and Tara: Antonia Thomas as Buffy Summers This woman is absolutely stunning on Misfits. The first thing you notice is that she’s insanely gorgeous (and has beautiful green eyes like Sarah Michelle Gellar) and that’s kind of where you stall at the beginning. Misfits in general is wonderfully cast, and it takes a bit of time...

EPBOT: Three Cheers for Little Girl Spock →

“I am a life-long trekkie and just introduced my daughter to the original Star Trek series this summer. She absolutely fell in love with the show, and Mr. Spock in particular. When I asked her what she wanted to be for Halloween, she said Mr. Spock. I responded that we could easily make her a Vulcan costume. She quickly corrected me and said not just any Vulcan…but Mr. Spock. More...

Ron Paul Is a Huge Racist →

canisfamiliaris: Around four years ago, James Kirchick reported a lengthy story delving into Paul’s worldview. As Kirchick writes, Paul comes out of an intellectual tradition called “paleo-libertarianism,” which is a version of libertarianism heavily tinged with far-right cultural views. The gist is that Paul is tied in deep and extensive ways to neo-Confederates, and somewhat less tightly to...

FL Gov. Rick Scott to Black Students: "I'm like... →

canisfamiliaris: Florida’s hapless (white billionaire) tea party governor took the silver spoon out of his mouth just long enough to shove both feet in it: To his credit, Scott, clad in sweatpants, greeted the marchers outside his home. To his detriment, he decided to talk. Apparently grasping for some common ground, Scott began his speech by reminding the protesters that he’d lived in...
