Having hurt my back, I'm on muscle relaxants as I write this. But the show, which today focuses on the extremism and dishonesty of the GOP, must go on... Stella! Stella!!!

Bark Bark Woof Woof: A new law proposed by Republicans would make it illegal even to mention homosexuality in Tennessee schools.

Down With Tyranny!: Paul Ryan and the Republicans just can't get enough of the "adolescent philosophy" of Ayn Rand.

Prairie Weather: Republicans depend on the public's failure to understand how government debt works to create the myth of a "crisis" and to reward their own special interests.

If You Are Going to Pursue Truth: Republicans push their "freedom" agenda while supporting tyrannical takeovers of municipal government and the corporate takeover of democracy.

Round-up by Michael J.W. Stickings of The Reaction. I'll be here all week.
