But Justice Antonin Scalia seemed surprised that someone would have expected the justices to read the text of the health care reform law...

Abigal Fisher, a white student, says she was denied admission to the University of Texas because of her race. Texas, like several other states, grants automatic admission to its public universities for students who place in the top ten percent of their class. For students outside of that group, UT is permitted to consider race (along with other factors) in determining admission. Fisher failed to...

Quantifying Nepotism: Everyone knows (or at least assumes) that politicians use their power to benefit people close to them; that’s old news. However, scientific studies on the matter are hard to come by. The watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) wanted to…

Today's Anti-Sonogram Doonesbury Comic
fuckyeahfeminists:
This controversial strip series isn’t being run by a few newspapers across the country. Others are moving it to the op-ed section. Some are only having it available online. Apparently it’s not obscene to have these laws, but it is to talk about them. What does this continue to say about this country? Where are our priorities?

Kids can't see anti-bullying film due to R rating →
thepoliticalfreakshow:
today:
The film earned an R rating from the Motion Picture Association of America due to adult language. Michigan teenager Katy Butler created an online petition urging the MPAA to change its ruling.
Yep, just like the MPAA: a film comes along that would actually help parents finally talk to their kids about bullying, and help kids by letting them know that there are...

Guns 'N Roses:
Immigrants and faggots
They make no sense to me

Like start some mini Iran,
Or spread some fuckin' disease

Aerosmith:
Sex is like a gun

Kanye West:
It seems we living the american dream
But the people highest up got the lowest self esteem
The prettiest people do the ugliest things
For the road to riches and diamond rings
We shine because they hate us, floss cause they degrade us
We trying to buy back our 40 acres
And for that paper, look how low we a'stoop
Even if you in a Benz, you still a nigga in a coupe
Society: UGH, I fucking hate rap music.

Asians Getting Scammed
Parents, like their children, need to do their homework.
A brilliant scheme
On July 30, 2009, private educational institution Montecito Fine Arts College of Design suddenly closed. The cause: bankruptcy. Or so they said.
With the mysterious vanishing of founders Edgar Kuckelkorn and Trisha Zhang – and millions of dollars to unpaid wages and tuition upon the closing of Montecito’s doors,...

“I shared, reblogged, liked, AND pledged for KONY2012! I am a good person who is doing great change to this world.’
I don’t hate African people, I don’t hate children, and I am not opposed to the downfall of current No.1 on the World’s Most Wanted List – Joseph Kony. But none of this has stopped me from being exceptionally wary of high-school centric nonprofit...

Because America still looks at us like we we’re the “yellow peril.”
