The onslaught of anti-internet bills are making their way to your legislator. And, as usual, they will vote for whoever gives them the most money. Fuckers!
Online commentators are pointing to the Internet backlash against H.R. 1981 as the new anti-SOPA movement. While this bill is strikingly different from the Stop Online Piracy Act, it does have one thing in common: it’s a...

South Dakota’s state House of Reps recently passed a bill on the definition of domestic violence, complete with amendments that modify an “intimate partnership” or “relationships” with the clause “with a member of the opposite sex.” So, gay man in an abusive relationship?

Top Ten Differences Between Rick Santorum and JFK →
Rick Santorum said Monday that when he first heard John F. Kennedy’s speech on religion and politics, it made him want to puke. Santorum misrepresented what Kennedy said, of course. Kennedy welcomed the participation of religious people in American public life. Santorum is a secret dominionist, desiring a takeover of the US by rightwing religion, which is why he really objects to...

ALMOST a century ago, the United States decided to make high school nearly universal. Around the same time, much of Europe decided that universal high school was a waste. Not everybody, European intellectuals argued, should go to high school.
It’s clear who made the right decision. The educated American masses helped create the American century, as the economists Claudia...
