Palin: Retard is Okay if it's Satirical
So we now know the rules for "retard" and "retarded." It's okay if it's satirical. Well, okay. "Retard" as satire is acceptable. And did you catch the slam against "political correctness" in there...

The Wingnut Defense of Monsanto

The Republicans and the Debt Ceiling
All of the Republicans voted against raising the debt ceiling. Of course from 1995-2007 the Republican-controlled Congress voted eight times to raise the debt ceiling. But not this time. Because they...
