“Why should women be paid equal to men? Men have been in the working world a lot...”
– Ann Romney, wife of likely Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, on equal pay for women. What is this. I can’t even. More. (via gaywrites)
Funny as this is, it’s satire, not a real quote. See the disclaimer from the original source.

politicalprof:
Sometime slightly before midnight today, April 18, Paul Revere began his 1775 ride to warn the Americans that the British were coming the next day to try to seize the Americans’ arsenals at Lexington and Concord. The events set in motion the combat phase of the American Revolution.
Although, if…

The points she makes here are good, and my progressive side cheers for her attack on the right wing of the SCOTUS. However, Sarah Palin has a point (yes, that hurt) and there are “activist judges” on the leftmost edge of the court as well. I wish Maureen Dowd had discussed them, too. It would have made the larger argument more compelling.
“[Justice] Kennedy’s second question, the one that so unnerved supports of the...”
