Did This Parent Deserve to be Arrested for Speaking Out?

Apparently parents weren’t allowed to interrupt this school board meeting in Baltimore, only submit questions in writing in advance, but this parent did anyway…what else could he do?

FOX News Accidentally Shows Evidence of Syrian REBELS Using Chemical Weapons

While talking about Assad’s chemical weapons yesterday, Fox News mistakenly showed footage I hadn’t seen on mainstream media before–it was footage released by the Syrian government that showed its soldiers finding a stash of chemical weapons and antidotes in a rebel hideout. The Fox footage below shows that the antidotes were made by a Qatari-German company, and of course the Qataris are supplying the rebels not the government. You can see the dirty containers on the chemicals, the cellophane covers tied on – definitely not government issue!
Be sure to watch the Fox News video, but also the video below that one, which shows the complete footage released by the Syrian government. This is just one piece of the wealth of compelling evidence that the rebels have used chemical weapons – so why aren’t we turning our Tomahawk Missiles on them?

It's Not Right vs. Right, It's Us vs. Them

Much is being made in the news right now about a GOP that is pulling itself apart. The common representation of the struggle is that it is a battle between the far right and the far, far right, or as Mother Jones framed it in describing the Karl Rove PAC dedicated to supporting hand-picked Republicans … Read more

What Did Jefferson Say Would Leave Our Children Homeless? Podcast of July 28 Show

My seven-year-old was doing a class project on Lewis & Clark. One of the questions each student had to answer about his or her historical subject was how much a gallon of milk cost during their lifetime. It was hard to find a chart of historical price levels, probably because it’s so crazy looking. I … Read more
