"[T]here are issues in which the law too often feels as if it is being applied in discriminatory fashion. I don't think that's the norm." — President Barack Obama, November 24, 2014

Here is a terrible, tragic story about the separation of an elderly gay couple by Sonoma County, California, the subsequent death of one member of that couple, and the auctioning of their property. A suit has been filed.

Because God personally blessed such behavior when he whispered the Constitution into George Washington's ear, "several dozen" "self-proclaimed patriots" will openly carry loaded firearms at a demonstration in a Virginia national park today.

Mississippi: leading the fight for resegregation. Happy Confederate History Month, everyone!

Tea Partiers are planning a Tea Party outside the home of Senate Parliamentarian Alan Frumin. And there are "people threatening him," according to Kent Conrad. Frumin, of course, was appointed Parliamentarian after the Republicans fired the old one for ruling against them in a reconciliation matter.

Do you feel love for your fellow man today? Allow me to do something about that: here are some teabaggers throwing dollar bills at a guy with Parkinsons who has the temerity to support health care reform. [Via]

Someday you are going to find that your monster children have learned a completely different and fantastical version of American history than you did. Thanks to Texas!

He is like, Muhammad Yunus? Fuck that guy! Microcredit is a joke! Ha ha, just kidding, the famous old track and field athlete is pretty sure that Barack Obama has done "absolutely nothing." And TMZ is there!

As you can see in this confusing and poorly shot amateur video, Gladney was brutally beaten by goons and required immediate medical care (he is the guy who is briefly knocked over 6 seconds into the video and who is then shown up and running around and acting pretty much fine for the remaining 3 minutes). He got a lawyer and went to the hospital. (Maybe even in that order!)

Washington establishment queen Sally Quinn knows what happens to black men in America, because once, some black cops spoke out of turn to her, at a Georgetown block party.

The Fred Phelps "God Hates Fags" lunatics weren't getting enough attention with the picketing of soldiers' funerals and whatnot, so now they are just straight-up taking on the Jews. Hey, they're coming to New York!

10% of Americans still believe Barack Obama is a Muslim. And here is the fun bit: a new study suggests that attempts to correct that misperception only reinforce it.

Today, Barack Obama is hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House for what will be a very tense and important diplomatic meeting. Some clowns in Chicago decided to help out!

Yes, this is partly our fault, this story having legs, but still: this man exists, and that is not our fault. He is the blogger who is exposing Barack Obama's scandalous Dijon obsession.

Are you happy with yourselves, America? Satisfied yet? This is what you wanted, right? A bunch of thick, charmless white guys for your Top 3? Well you got it!

Quelle horreur! Ted Kaufman, the guy appointed to Joe Biden's Delware Senate seat, might secretly not believe in God!

Did you hear about what's going on in there, the Obama White House? It's Lord Of The Flies: Tropical heat, territorial prowling, surprise attacks on subordinates and barbaric business casual.

Barack Obama knew his mangled presidential oath would be used against him forever, so he made America's comically inarticulate chief justice and some reporters come to a do-over party.

Oh, look, it's a self-described 1980s radical casually explaining how he turned our president-elect into a Black Panther who got, uh, "open minded" at "jazz concerts," hint hint.

The Pledge of Allegiance was written by, of course, a Socialist. But the good kind! Francis Bellamy was a late-19th century Baptist Utopian Socialist, not a Stalinist or one of those white kids with dreadlocks. Naturally his Pledge was different from the one we know: it doesn't mention God! Luckily Congress fixed that in 1954, adding the words "under God" right in the middle, disrupting the flow of the whole thing. The Commie-hating clergyman responsible for adding God to our pledge just died!
