Crooks and Liars points to an appalling story out of Nashville yesterday. A (clearly disturbed) man repeatedly rammed another car because it displayed an Obama bumper sticker. A father and his 10-year old daughter were in the car that was rammed. Police arrested Harry Weisiger for felony reckless endangerment. It should not even be necessary [...]
Yesterday, California U.S. House representative Lynn Woolsey (D) wrote an article for Politico in which she suggested that the Catholic Church’s tax exempt status should be revoked because the United States Council of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) took the moral stance of objecting to a health care bill that would force tax payers to fund abortions.

The LA Times published an interview with the Speaker of the California Assembly last Saturday. One response with from her is particularly telling: How do you think conservative talk radio has affected the Legislature’s work? The Republicans were essentially threatened and terrorized against voting for revenue. Now [some] are facing recalls. They operate under a [...]
Last week about protesters demonstrated in front of the Electronic Entertainment Expo against the release of Electronic Arts video game Dante’s Inferno.

He will also stop prosecuting drug felonies involving “small” amounts of certain narcotics. One shop owner who has had problems [...]
