Planned Parenthood is worse than ISIS. R-South Dakota.

Certainly more annoying that ISIL.

That's not true at all and extremely offensive.

Certainly more annoying that ISIL.

People who think health care services are annoying/worse than terrorism, should cancel all their health care and move to Iraq.

Cancer is a FUNGUS?

Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore is the source for this crankiness:

It's not total bunk, just 99.99% bunk.  It wasn't all that long ago you would have been considered a quack to suggest you could treat most stomach ulcers with antibiotics.  We already know of some cancers that are caused by viral infections, so it's not impossible that some could be due to a fungal infection.  Of course, as far as I know, no cancers have been shown to be caused by a fungal infection, but I wouldn't say it is impossible, and it's even more possible that a fungal disease might be able to take advantage of an immune system compromised by cancer or vice versa.

True -- the usual treatment for ulcers was to deal with the acid instead of the bacillus that thrived in stomach acid. That a bacillus could thrive in stomach acids that all logic said would digest the bacillus was counter-intuitive.

It was not quackery, but conventional medicine, that discovered the  connection between H. pylori and stomach ulcers. Medicine advances; quackery keeps suggesting copper bracelets for 'that pesky arthur-itis'.

Of course. But just because much cancer comes from using tobacco products does not mean that cancer is tobacco.  Or, in view of another cause, radiation. Or viruses.

Rep. Justin Harris (R - West Fork) of Arkansas is a goddamn HORRIBLE human being.


Harris, who owns and operates a preschool, has come under fire in recent weeks after it was revealed that he had "re-homed" two of his adopted daughters. For those unaware, re-homing is an (illegal) act in which foster parents place their children into the homes of other people without the approval of an adoption agency. Harris and his wife both cashed subsidies checks for the children they were supposed to be taking care of during this time.

While re-homing in itself is awful, Harris gets special cretin points because at least one of the girls was molested while under the care of Eric Francis, the re-home guardian and a college friend of Harris' wife.

Harris' explanation for why he gave away the children? They were possessed by the Devil.

At this point I would like to point out that Harris was a co-sponsor of a fetal heartbeat bill a few years ago, and doesn't support gay marriage because children do best with a mother and father.

This guy and his wife should be in prison for a very, very long time.

Yet, he is still a member of the Republican Caucus.

I feel like this one deserves its own thread, but whatever.

This is the newly-elected GOP Chairman of Travis County, Texas (Austin), who I believe won last night (apparently TX still elects party chairmen through countywide primary popular vote). Yes, it's a real account.

When pressed by the Tribune about his insane comments, Morrow suggested that he was being unfairly targeted by the media and channeled the Trump defense.

Surprisingly, other Texas Republicans seem to be suddenly shocked by this and are now vowing to force Morrow out of office.

Morrow’s Vice Chairman, Matt Mackowiak, had this to say:

“Tell them they can go f-ck themselves,” Morrow told the Tribune.
