Any time there's a genuine difference of opinion concerning a policy issue within a presidential primary it's worthy of note, even if there's only one candidate standing apart from the others. Rand Paul may be the one you'd expect would dissent from his peers when it comes to foreign policy, but he nevertheless surprised many when he said on Wednesday that it was his own party that bore responsibility for the rise of ISIS. When asked on Morning Joe how he'd respond to attacks from foreign policy hawks like Lindsey Graham, Paul responded, "ISIS exists and grew stronger because of the hawks in our party who gave arms indiscriminately, and most these arms were snatched up by ISIS." He even tied his Republican colleagues to the despised Hillary Clinton: "ISIS is all over Libya because these same hawks in my party loved Hillary Clinton's war in Libya, they just wanted more of it." Whatever you think of the particulars of Paul's analysis, his charges probably aren't going to go over too well in a party where the consensus is that everything in Iraq was going swimmingly until Barack Obama came in and mucked it all up.

  • Happy Volcano Day: Mount St Helens Erupts
    Crooks and Liars, Sunday - 05/19/2024 - 11:00 PM

    History Channel reminds us of the devastation caused by this volcanic eruption. At 8:32 a.m. PDT on May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens, a volcanic peak in southwestern Washington, suffers a massive eruption, killing 57 people and devastating some 210 square miles of wilderness. After the city of Pompeii was buried under the might of Mt Vesuvius in 79 ce , an incredible city was discovered under the ash over a thousand years later. For many centuries Pompeii slept beneath its pall of ash, which perfectly preserved the remains.

    California banker and carpetbagger Eric "Pornstache" Hovde, who wants to be the US Senator from Wisconsin, has a knack for doublespeak. We first saw this when he was explaining why people in nursing homes shouldn't be allowed to vote, when he denied in believing The Big Lie and then repeating all the accusations anyway. He then did an interview with Matt Smith of WISN-TV when this subject came up.

    “Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body” is going viral as we speak. Source: Vulture If they’re gonna try to stop us from scrolling on TikTok, then we guess it’s only fair that Congress provides us with some form of entertainment. Call it The Real House Reps of DC. On Thursday night, a House Oversight Committee hearing devolved into what felt like a full-blown reality TV fight when Rep.
