Watching the Republicans deflect blame to the Democrats for last week’s government shutdown is like listening to Leatherface claim to be a humanitarian.

Die Harder
The Republican Party finally accomplished something! Sure, it may not have been the passing of a new jobs bill or funding for our nation’s crumbling infrastructure, but not every Republican-controlled House can say they shut down the government!
Paul
There are few Senators that fight against the good that America could offer more than Senator Rand Paul. Whether he is perpetrating the false understanding that the U.N. Arms Treaty is an attack on the Second Amendment or threatening a government shutdown over Obamacare, Paul proudly continues to clog facts and the nation’s progression.
The Thin Red Line
On August 21st, Syrian President Bashar Hafez al-Assad’s regime allegedly launched a chemical weapon attack in the suburbs of Damascus, resulting in the deaths of nearly 1,500 civilians according to U.S. Intelligence.
Fantastic Mr. Fox
In the aftermath of the horrific shooting death of 22 year-old Christopher Lane, Fox News has seized the tragedy as a counter point to the mainstream media’s allegedly racially biased coverage of the Trayvon Martin case. However, their argument is missing one crucial thing… common fucking sense.
In the Mouth of Madness
Pop quiz, hotshot! What’s more damaging but just as ineffective as voting to repeal Obamacare 40 times?
Forces of Nature
While media outlets were competing as to whom could publish the wittiest version of “Weiner must pull out,” Mother Nature brought the citizens of Earth their tab. The bill comes to $60 trillion.
Mud
“Halleljuah!” Is how conservative commentator Ann Coulter responded to the news of the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial this weekend. Unlike Coulter, I can’t find the news of a man who killed an unarmed teenager being allowed back on the streets as an excuse to stop by Party City and pick up a piñata.
Election
Wednesday presented great cause to celebrate as the Supreme Court struck down DOMA and rejected California’s anti-gay marriage legislation, Proposition 8. However, just the day prior, the same Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act.
The nearly fifty-year old Act was originally passed to protect the voting rights of minorities. It took just two hours before the first state took advantage of its absence.
House of Pain
In the 2012 election, President Obama won the female vote by 11 points over his GOP challenger, Mitt Romney. That is a major deal, especially when you consider women comprised 53% of the voting population.
How does the Republican Party plan to gain those votes back? Legislation against the female body, of course!
