Bush II; Day 278: A lot going on today

I can't pick just one story, so here's a few:

1. First conservative group denounces Roberts for his work on helping overturn anti-gay legislation.

This doesn't make Roberts my hero. It doesn't mitigate his anti-woman stance to know he's anti-homophobia.

2. MediaMatters.org takes the baton on the new energy bill from the Daily Show.

Amazing how hugely profitable companies still get billions, yes, billions in subsidies from the government to help them do the R&D that will ensure they get even more profitable. Dubya and his administration in bed with the oil companies getting this windfall? Now why would you think that?

3. You gotta keep your eyes on this one...Rick Santorum is dangerous because he's got that aw, shucks nature and is definitely articulate. But he is scary as can be. And here's the video to prove it. Did you know birth control is harmful to our society? Well apparently it is. Hat tip to The Talent Show who has some awesome commentary on this.

There you have it: busy day in wingnut territory.
