Governor Palin broke Alaskan state law publicly advocating against an initiative that would have protected salmon fisheries
The Clean Water Initiative was meant to limit the amount of arsenic that could be dumped in Alaska's coastal waters, which would have protected salmon spawning ground. Instead, a giant gold and copper mining site will go into full operation.

Scamming the true believers
I don't know how to feel about a group of Republicans duping right-wing idealogues into donating millions of dollars for no-name campaigns and pocketing most of the cash. Just desserts?

FEMA is just another word for FAIL
So, FEMA holds a press conference, gives 15 minutes notice, opens a listen only 800 number, then stacks the room with FEMA employees to ask softball questions. I believe I speak for America when I ask what the FUCK?

Sam Brownback has a surprisingly coherent, if fundamentally flawed, op-ed in the NYTimes about his belief in evolution
Ultimately, though, he wants the scientific theory of evolution to square up with his personal religious beliefs, which ain't how science works, Sam, no matter how much you may want it to.

Who doesn't believe in evolution?
Chris Matthews asked a throwaway question at the Republican debate last night, Brownback, Tancredo and Huckabee all answered affirmative. See, unlike virgin births or flying spaghetti monsters, evolution doesn't give a god damn if you believe.
