Dumbassery: It’s in the Bible

• Interesting: House Democrats outright refuse to vote on President Obama’s tax cut compromise. Could it be …?

• Look, Tea Partiers [pictured], you just can’t expect to be taken seriously when you declare yourselves to be the literal fourth incarnation of a biblically described movement (or whatever).

• More nails in the coffin of the idiotic notion that MSNBC is somehow the “liberal Fox News”.

• Latest WikiLeaks Cablegate revelation: US military contractor DynCorp exchanged drugs and paid for “dancing boys”, apparently a form of child prostitution.

• US Army veteran Raymond Knaeble stuck in Colombia, having apparently been put on the no-fly list after converting to Islam. (My question is: Why doesn’t he just drive?)
