Remember when it was beyond the pale to compare the political opposition to Hitler? But that rule only applies to Democrats. Conservatives can do it with impunity.
The answer? Because Rand Paul was looking really good and making a lot of sense. So much so, in fact, that they had to stick him in Cheney's underground undisclosed bunker for weeks as they waited for the storm to pass.
With the deaths of three more American troops on Friday, July became the deadliest month for U.S. forces in the nine-year Afghan war. The killings came in a manner and location that has typified the recent increase in violence in Afghanistan. NATO officials said two of the American service members died in a roadside bombing while another was killed by a separate insurgent attack, all of them in southern Afghanistan, where the Taliban insurgency is strongest. The rudimentary bombs often made from fertilizer are a favored weapon of the Taliban and the predominant killer of U.S. troops in Afghanistan. The latest killings, a total of six over two days, pushed the death toll to 66 Americans, surpassing June, when 60 Americans were killed. The overall toll for NATO forces in July is still below the record reached in June, when 103 NATO troops were killed.

What a fucking mess. Bring our troops home.
Scientists have found signs of an oil-and-dispersant mix under the shells of tiny blue crab larvae in the Gulf of Mexico, the first clear indication that the unprecedented use of dispersants in the BP oil spill has broken up the oil into toxic droplets so tiny that they can easily enter the foodchain.
And here we actually get to the nub of the problem. Joking about the exact scope of the proposed mosque exclusion zone the issue here is whether or not we should be defining Islam, as such, as an “ideolog[y] opposed to America” comparable to the ideology that powered the Soviet Union. I say “no,” Team Newt says yes. That’s both repugnant and strategically disastrous.
And while the ADL embarrasses itself, J Street shows how the issue should be handled.
If We Cared About The Women And Children Of The World It would be far better to spend $100 billion per year granting them political asylum and paying for their transport and relocation to the US than invading their countries and caressing them with our freedom bombs.

Luckily, triceratops was named first. So if this is confirmed by peer review, and consensus builds that they're the same animal, then "torosaur" will get the axe. That'll avoid the mess we got when Brontosaur was axed because 1) it was the same animal as Apatosaurus, and 2) Apatosaurus came first.
