Yeah when I heard about him last week on the radio I couldn't get over the fact that there is still a place where someone can think the civil war should be called "The War of Northern Aggression" in American's political landscape.

I'm partial to "The Slaveholders' Treasonous Rebellion".

Slavers' Treason.  More succinct.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

"America is the richest country without..." is a very common phrase.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/05/27/america-is-the-only-rich-country-that-doesnt-guarantee-paid-vacation-or-holidays/

This story was cropping up everywhere over the last couple days. Dunno if it was the holiday weekend bringing it some kind of new relevance or what (labor day would make more sense,) but it's strange when something that's been true since forever shows up all over the place at the same time as though it's breaking news.

Oh, you know people. They don't realize they're being screwed until someone points it out.

Well, that is a blog post. Probably just a WaPo writer feeling irate that he had to work on Monday. Which, I totally feel.

Wisconsin is producing quite a high rate of hate.

At first glance that looks like it indicates population density more than it indicates hate or anything else.

Wisconsin doesn't make any sense on that map. The usual suspects aren't even red. Its just all of these non-places. And then you see how tiny the spots are that are making the entire west side of the state red on the default zoom.

I can only blame it on hell-portals.

What's strangest is this tiny town on the border of Montana and North Dakota where apparently there lives this dude that just hates the handicap.

It seems to be more East-West than North-South, flying in the face of common knowledge.

Of course this is sexual and not racial.  The lines may actually be perpendicular when you graph them.

I like how that article brought up an overlay which railed against the Koch brothers that could not be closed (the x button didn't work) and prevented any reading of the article.

The purpose of the overlay was to encourage the visitor to read ThinkProgress.

I only post this here because I couldn't find a topic it fit in (I honestly can't believe that we don't have a topic dedicated to the rampant sexual assault in our military so I probably just missed it) and because it struck me while watching this video that no US General would EVER say some of the things this man said and so it kinda fit. Apparently the AU military has been having their own sexual assault scandal and this video is what one of their Generals had to say about it.

Shit is amazing.

Chief of Army message regarding unacceptable behaviour

Seriously, this man's anger is fucking refreshing. And his complete lack of wavering or making excuses equally as powerful. Also he blinks once in the entire video.
