Photo Of The Day - Kennedy Grave Note
Upon the approval of the health care reform bill, Rep. Patrick Kennedy left the following note on his father's grave: "Dad, the unfinished business is done." Crazy bastard, wasn't it Jesus himself who said, "You cannot serve two masters?"
You certainly cannot worship common sense and the Invisible Cloud Being at the same time. Beck, you're a stupid f**k.
Since losing the health care reform fight, the GOP has vowed revenge by obstruction. Senate Republicans have been using a little-known rule this week to basically stop all committee and subcommittee hearings. They have also contrived a host of "poison pill" amendments to stall the passage of reconciliation. And Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) vowed that "there will be no cooperation for the rest of the year."
Now, Republicans have for "the first time...injected the partisan health care debate into the confirmation of a judicial pick," Roll Call notes. They are hoping to defeat Obama's nomination of University of California law Professor Goodwin Liu to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, aghast over his belief that all Americans have a right to health care:
Washington, DC—Today, Rep. Tom Perriello released the following statement in response to an ongoing FBI investigation into a severed gas line at the home of the congressman's brother.
"My number one priority right now is ensuring the safety of my brother's family, and I am grateful to law enforcement for their excellent work. While it is too early to say anything definitive regarding political motivations behind this act, it's never too early for political leaders to condemn threats of violence, particularly as threats to other Members of Congress and their children escalate. And so I ask every member of House and Senate leadership to state unequivocally tonight that it is never OK to harm or threaten elected officials and their families with anything more than political retribution. Here in America, we settle our political differences at the ballot box."
Sen. Bob Bennett (R-UT) has attached an amendment to the health care reform bill that would suspend same-sex marriages in Washington, DC until the issue is put to a public vote. 
Mooselini is suggesting to her mouth-breathers that they "Don't Retreat, Instead – RELOAD." And then she gives a map with 20 Dims that look to have weak election prospects, and uses a rifle-scope cross hair to locate them. > Dog whistle much, Mooselini? You are getting into Malkkkin territory. UPDATE from TPM: "In the wake of the passage of the health care bill, Democratic members of Congress are receiving death threats and implicit threats against their families. One of those members–pro-life Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-OH) who voted for final passage–has had to deal with more than his fair share. Last week, the anti-reform advocacy group the Committee to Rethink Reform published an ad in The Cincinnati Enquirer featuring a photo of Dreihaus with his children. (Both the Committee and the Enquirer have retracted and apologized for the ad.) Now, conservatives are planning a Sunday protest outside of his house, after a conservative blog put his address–complete with directions–on the Internet."
On Monday, Lynchburg Tea Party member Mike Troxel posted what he believed to be the home address of Rep. Tom Periello (D-VA), encouraging people to drop by for a "good face-to-face chat":
Just in case any of his friends and neighbors want to drop by and say hi and express their thanks regarding his vote for healthcare. I personally believe it's so important for representatives to remain fully grounded and to remember exactly what it is their constituents are saying and how they are telling them to vote. Nothing quite does that like a good face-to-face chat. It has a much more personal touch to it.
And in the meantime, Beck, Limbaugh and Republican politicians keep fanning the flames of hate. How long before another Timothy McVeigh makes his move?
Another Tea Party member who approves of what Troxel is doing is Kurt Feigel, who "who frequently works and communicates with Troxel and runs a companion blog." He told ThinkProgress yesterday that he had no problem with posting lawmaker's home addresses. Feigel has posted YouTube videos advocating people to send "traitor" lawmakers ropes and stock up on guns and ammunition in case the political situation in this country gets too bad.
Here's a compilation of Feigel's videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wYlbi7GA5c&feature=player_embedded

This case is so disturbing and shocking. It's hard to grasp how Benedict has any credibility or moral authority. And, the same holds for the U.S. Conference of Bishops. They put their institutional interests ahead of human decency -- and the law.

It raises the intriguing possibility that in this part of central Asia about 40,000 years ago three species of human were living alongside one another, perhaps for thousands of years. Nothing is known of how they interacted or whether they interbred but it is clear that only one of the three species survived, anatomically modern humans.
Sen. Tom Coburn (R., Okla.) has offered an amendment to the Senate reconciliation bill that would make it illegal for the government to cover Viagra through the exchanges.
The rationale here is that Coburn is trying to force Democrats into a difficult vote. If the amendment succeeds, the reconciliation package would clearly represent a change of policy, and not just of taxation and spending, and would therefore be subject to a sixty-vote threshold. If it fails, Democrats will be seen as standing up for molestors' access to libido-enhancers.
Here's a list of a few more things the evil bastards have added to the reconciliation bill.
