Hey, the sun came out! And brought a bunch of political bullshit with it!
Fox Newsannounced the 10 Republican presidential candidates who will participate in Thursday's televised debate, based on poll rankings. Included among those who didn't make the cut: Rick Perry, Lindsey Graham, a just and loving God.
Jeb Bushmade more than $9 million over the last year and a half— for doing speaking gigs and "an assortment of business interests," which is code for a bunch of money he already had eating itself and pooping out more money. I bet when your parents told you life wasn't fair, you just thought they were telling you why you couldn't have more than two cookies for dessert, dincha?
Local Congressman David Jolly has personally entered the fight to defund Planned Parenthood by filing his own bill that would strip the organization of its federal financial backing. Let's be clear: This is an attempt by religious anti-abortion zealots to shut down an organization for which abortion amounts to just over 10 percent of its activities, based on an out-of-context video implying the organization does something it absolutely does not do. This is the kind of power wielded in this country by people who regularly assume Onion articles are true.
And finally, an argument between the NAACP and Lee County commissioners over whether or not a portrait of Robert E. Lee that hangs in the commission's chambers should be removed has been dropped, because it stopped getting attention, because it never really got all the attention both parties wished it had, because it was a stupid, pointless argument about a painting.
