Wow! That's a Good Question.

Answer: For the same reason that Americans descended from Europeans and there are still Europeans.
Question: If rational people descended from Christians, why are there still Christians?

Awesome Onboard Video Of Shuttle Boosters Falling From Space

Skip around if you want to but you're not going to want to miss a single second of this amazing footage.

The Bigots Are On The Wrong Side Of History Once Again

"Blacks are 3/5ths of a human being" -DESTROYED (1865)
"Females are too fickle with their uteruses and such to be trusted to vote" -DESTROYED (1919)
"It's worth it to spend the extra money building a negro-only restroom" -DESTROYED (1964)
"Racial mixing is against my...I mean.. God's will!" -DESTROYED (1967)
"The queers' wrists are too limp to fire a machine gun" -DESTROYED (2010)
And once again it seems that the arc of history in a free and open society favors equality for all. (coming soon to a state near you)

Paul Ryan Wants Your Grandma to Eat Cat Food!

Nothing like a little hyperbole in the morning. But seriously, freshman teahead Paul Ryan's budget plan which already passed the House looks like it will be dead in the Senate. Maybe its unpopularity has something to do with the fact that it cuts Medicare, a program that provides healthcare to millions of America's ailing seniors, and uses the money to buy 100 pizzas for every single citizen in the country! Hazzah! Except instead of pizza, it really hands the money over to the wealthiest people in the country. Here are some places where you can read up then discuss:

Everyone in the comments should suggest one thing that we could spend the money on besides John Kerry's new yacht. How about a coast to coast floating monorail? Or; a beer volcano that covers the entire state of Ohio?

On Obama Creating His Own Army

                                                                 (Image unrelated)

Media Matters is an excellent website that documents for posterity the proof that there was a time in America in which someone could say the most outrageously false and absurd things on national television and be taken seriously by more than two nutcases in tinfoil headgear. Case in point: the idea that Obama is creating a civilian military force to do his bidding.
