SARAHMC SMASH!...

Yesterday the Senate Finance Committee voted against a government-run public insurance option.  Fuckers. Democrats Kent Conrad (ND) and Blanche Lincoln (AR) refused to support a public option, but they did vote to restore federal funding to a program that has been proven to not only be ineffective,...

What? Why????...

Thinking of talking to your kids about sex but too scared to say “penis” or “vagina?” Nervous as you may be, fret not. You don’t have to talk about the parts. That’s what Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services wants you to know. Check out this ridiculous,...

Your Tax Dollars Are Paying For Rape Apo...

An abstinence-only until marriage program in Ohio is teaching boys how to get away with rape. On the website for “Abstinence ‘Till Marriage,” kids can enter the Party Room, where they read a story about Rochelle, Jason, Monica and Tanner, each of whom tells his or her perspective about...
