Sheen vs Beck
Yes Charlie Sheen said a lot of crazy things, but Glenn Beck has him beat by a mile when it comes to craziness. Sheen never made anyone buy a gun. Sheen never made anyone waste money on gold. Sheen never called the first black president a "racist." Sheen didn't send 10,000's of violent fans to the Lincoln Memorial. Just to put some things into perspective.

Pancreatic Cancer
Hicks died of pancreatic cancer in 1994 at the age of 32.
On the 17th anniversary of Bill Hick's death, we honor a great philosopher whose life was cut short by cancer. RIP dude.

Idiot of the Week
Phil Jensen
A law under consideration in South Dakota would expand the definition of "justifiable homicide" to include killings that are intended to prevent harm to a fetus—a move that could make it legal to kill doctors who perform abortions. The Republican-backed legislation, House Bill 1171, has passed out of committee on a nine-to-three party-line vote, and is expected to face a floor vote in the state's GOP-dominated House of Representatives soon.
The bill, sponsored by state Rep. Phil Jensen, a committed foe of abortion rights, alters the state's legal definition of justifiable homicide by adding language stating that a homicide is permissible if committed by a person "while resisting an attempt to harm" that person's unborn child or the unborn child of that person's spouse, partner, parent, or child. If the bill passes, it could in theory allow a woman's father, mother, son, daughter, or husband to kill anyone who tried to provide that woman an abortion—even if she wanted one.
Wow, just wow. These Republicans have balls. Now Jensen has tried to weasel out of this after getting called out, but the damage has been done. He is basically giving comfort to anti-choice terrorists to commit acts of violence. The next time there is a shooting or bombing, the blood will be on his hands.

The Teabagger Cult Hits Close to Home
There is no doubt, high-speed rail is the next great American project like the freeway of the 50's. But it has hit a snag in Florida, a big snag named Rick Scott. The newly elected governor who looks like the love child of Voldemort and Gollum has nixed it.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Wednesday rejected the federal government's offer of $2.4 billion to build the line — prompting cheers from his tea party base, and harsh criticism from leading Florida Republicans and Democrats alike — squashing a project that has been decades in the making.
Even Republicans don't like it, but the teabagger cult has to satisfied. Scott is probably going to be a one-termer and the project will be built, but justice delayed is justice denied, so the damage has already been done.
