Married Ohio "family values" Republican Representative Robert Mecklenborg, one of the strongest advocates for the anti-abortion "heartbeat bill", gets busted for DUI while in his car with a stripper and with Viagra in his blood stream

Rep. Ron Paul: Abolish TSA - Paul said he was introducing a bill called the "American Traveler Dignity Act," which he said would force TSA employees to follow existing laws against inappropriate physical contact.

I see lots of "Ron Paul is pushing to _" headlines, but I never see a "Bill authored by Ron Paul that signed into law" headlines. So at the risk of moving against the hive mind, I submit that Ron Paul, is, in fact, all talk and no action.

How about instead of saying "mainstream media," we call it what it is--"corporate media."

In its own curious way, the Anthony trial can be viewed as a satisfying outcome. By all accounts, it seems the justice system worked the way it should. The difficult thing to keep in mind is that “the way it should” isn’t the same thing as “the way I wanted”.
