i luv photoshop nerdz!!! or anti-gay marriage FAIL

the national organization for marriage [you know! of one d00d + one d00dette fame] gets caught [mis]using a photo from an Obama campaign rally to attempt to portray large support for the repeal of gay marriage in New Hampshire. polling shows that most New Hampshirites aren't affected by their fellow gay citizens having the right to marry. opponents of gay marriage are outnumbered 2 to 1! anyway, i dig that some fellow nerd from the Good as You blog made the connection & now it's on the national news. TAKE THAT n.o.m. DUMMIES!

the gun dilemma: or how facts just can't make a dent on this american love affair

since the horrendous events of last saturday in tucson, az; some pundits have actually taken up the great gun debate.
rachel maddow of the rachel maddow show is one of these pundits.
it's another reason why i watch her show w/a passion.
tonight she displayed this:

as a sociology major & general statistics nerd, i truly wish people would use logic instead of emotion on these issues.

the rachel maddow show w/ @chrislhayes are thankful

i usually catch my hippie/liberal/socialist/commie propaganda the next day, online. so, sorry if you've already seen this. rachel is out on vacation, but chris hayes does a great job fillin' in for her.
i really liked this section about things to be thankful for. things we usually take for granted and are vilified by the right wing.

@maddow's THE interview: a north carolina abortion provider talks about life w/a price on his head

on monday night, msnbc's the rachel maddow show got to interview the latest abortion provider who has become a target of the infamous "wanted" posters. the posters that the anti-choice movement claims is not their doing and/or should be protected as free speech.
it's a pretty chilling view into the courage it takes to do this job. a life SAVING job. a LEGAL job.
it's scary how the anti-choice movement pushes all this hate/fear-mongering, then when some nut-job murders an abortion provider, they just claim "it wasn't us! we didn't mean for nut-job X to KILL abortion provider Y"
it takes an amazing amount of hubris for these people to just claim there's no blood on their hands in these cold-blooded murderers.
