At the Reagan Library debate in California, attendees memorably broke into a spontaneous round of applause in support of Rick Perry’s record on the death penalty. At last week’s debate in Tampa, a handful of audience members cheered the prospect of a man without health…

Uhh, they’re Republican? Next question.

Why are we all feigning surprise that a group of people so set on polarizing this country to a breaking point with their contrarian and hypocritical views are actually supporting, out loud and proudly, these ridiculous things?

Is this not a threat? If say, Michael Moore or Bill Maher said this to a room full of angry liberals, would the news not cover this?

“All that serves labor serves the nation. All that harms is treason. If a man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool. There is no America without labor, and to fleece the one is to rob the other.”

The person who may be responsible for more food-related illness and death than anyone in history has just been made the US food safety czar.

Wow.

A former Monsanto exec and lobbyist as the US FOOD SAFETY CZAR?

Are you KIDDING?

When does a Shell exec get his Department of the Interior post?

Fuck.

Uh oh.

Not to split hairs but I think Mao was the guy who is responsible for most food-related deaths in human history, and he’s dead so he can’t get appointed as an advisor.

ANYONE IN HISTORY

Theres a lot to unpack in that sentence! Throw in a few batshits and you have a Matt Taibbi column.

Seriously? This dude is getting on my last nerve.

- President Obama, ending his speech at a town-hall style meeting in Illinois before realizing he’d unintentionally rapped the entire second half of the address.

I hope he threw the mic down after this.

Fucking A, y’all.

We need to think of the future.

Really? Can we all collectively understand how hard this dude is working to get stuff done and start discussing politics like rational human beings?

Keith Olbermann out at MSNBC? NBC has said that this has nothing to do with the Comcast merger, but that sounds like utter b.s. to me. 

Why would you give up the highest rated host of a show? Why would you let go the man who has essentially created your brand? And why at this incredibly important moment in time would you remove the true liberal/progressive voice on TV? 

Jesus WTF! Hopefully Rachel Maddow will shed some light on this while she is on Real Time With Bill Maher tonight.
