Obama Rejects Tax Cuts for the Rich, Calls for Big Oil to Pay Fair Share

Judge to US: Yes, Really, Torture is Illegal: For the first time, the government finds a major terrorism prosecution derailed because "enhanced interrogation" taints the evidence

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's Rally is not just in DC anymore...it's not just going national...it's gone GLOBAL! Impressive.

Pat me on the back. I successfully convinced my right wing bible-thumping relatives to stop watching Fox News because it's not news.
