I wonder if they are now going to refer to Shawna Ford as a liberal over on Fox and the Conservative papers after years of going down on her and her Minutemen group?

Wow. Nice job missing all the other countries in the world in general and Latin/South America in particular that came out and said that the coup was wrong in some way.

Tom Tomorrow's always good for a laugh. This one's on Health Care.
It would be more of a laugh oif it wasnt so true. America WANTS new Healthcare, we control the house and Senate, and the presidency, we have 60 seats in the senate, and yet our 'leaders' are going around blubbering to the GOP trying to keep things "bipartisan" and doing nothing but gutting the whole reform.

Shameful really

1513 for Florida for Ponce de Leon's first expedition. When did the Spanish meet the Pueblos?

I know you are not supposed to comment on those in this thread, but the above-posted comic is simply too great not to comment on.

The thing is among the best I have seen this year.
