Sometimes the ongoing trend of "not being afraid to make a scene" makes my teeth hurt. But sometimes, oftentimes, it makes my heart sing. Case in point: Neo-Nazi and professional douchecanoe Craig Cobb has been trying to "take over" Leigh, ND as a stronghold for his ridiculous worldview. But the local residents are not particularly impressed. In fact, a group of Lakota Grandmothers managed to capture the Nazi flag during a protest of Cobb's craptacular plan. Well done, ladies. Well done, indeed.

Brother Eric over at Standing on the Shoulders of Giant Midgets points out that the current GOP fiasco isn't the result of childishness, petulance, or anything else, but is a cold, calculated strategy, designed to bolster their agenda with minimal risk to the Republican representatives in the House. I think he's depressingly, horrifyingly accurate, to the GOP's shame.

Isis the Scientist on the perils of raising children up from barbarism, while trying not to devolve yourself. The money quote: “Don’t you tell me I don’t know what a penis looks like. Your mommy has seen a lot of penises and she can recognize a penis. Even a misshapen one.”
