Court Curbs Police

The US Supreme Court has dramatically scaled back the power of police to search vehicles after stopping the driver for minor traffic offenses.
This is an important ruling.
It is the correct ruling.
It is an inappropriate police power that's been abused on an ongoing basis for decades.
What is shocking to see is two of the court's fascists, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, on the correct side of this.

Stumped by science: Bachmann (batshit crazy loon-Minnesota) calls CO2 'harmless,' 'negligible,' 'necessary,' 'natural'
Yeah, and her fairy godmother makes carriages out of pumpkin, too.

Bachmann (foaming at the mouth whacko -Minnesota) asks whether Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano has gone "absolutely stark raving mad"
This from a raving lunatic is so funny on so many levels.

According to wing-nut mouthpices CNBC, economic recovery should take at least three months. Any honest financial advisor would tell you 10 to 15 years.
CNBC - the people who like that idiot in the final 'panic' scene from the film Animal House holding his hands up as they trample him to the ground saying "All is well" over and over as the economy trampled(s) them into the ground - oh yes, that's the source of financial news for me.

More Atheists Shout It From the Rooftops

Much to the Fundie's surprise ... they aren't the majority!

Two months after the local atheist organization here put up a billboard saying “Don’t Believe in God? You Are Not Alone,” the group’s 13 board members met in Laura and Alex Kasman’s living room to grapple with the fallout.

The problem was not that the group, the Secular Humanists of the Lowcountry, had attracted an outpouring of hostility. It was the opposite. An overflow audience of more than 100 had showed up for their most recent public symposium, and the board members discussed whether it was time to find a larger place.

And now parents were coming out of the woodwork asking for family-oriented programs where they could meet like-minded nonbelievers.
