“House Speaker John Boehner defended his aptness to cry and habit of smoking...”
– John Boehner Defends Crying & Smoking
Funny!
Funny because abortion is a legal medical procedure, and yet John Boehner cannot stop bringing it up! For a vote!
Because I’m sure John Boehner thinks that health insurance should cover him, even though he smokes! And I agree! It should! Smoking is...

Dear Rabble, I can’t even remember when I decided I was pro-choice (I was raised in a country when it’s very much Not An Issue, or not legally at least), but I have two stories to share. The first one is that in high school, I was assigned the anti-choice side in an abortion debate. I was…

A job-killing plan for arts and culture? →
hydeordie:
If you gave me a buck, and next year I returned $18.75 to you, would you think that was a good deal? I would. With savings accounts, money markets and even stocks yielding just a few percentage points on investments these days, a return in excess of 18% is pretty staggering.
