Jon Stewart Takes on Proposed Ways-to-Hit-a-Child Bill in Kansas

House Bill 2699, introduced by Rep. Gail Finney, D-Wichita, would have allowed parents to hit children hard enough to leave redness or bruising. It also would have allowed parents to give permission to others, including caregivers or teachers, to spank their children.

In a statement posted on her website, Finney said the legislation “is not, as has been incorrectly reported, intended to legalize child abuse in Kansas.”

“Parental corporal discipline in Kansas, along with 49 other states, has always been permitted,” Finney said in the statement. “Unfortunately, Kansas has never affirmatively, expressly defined corporal discipline in Kansas statute, leaving the interpretation of that matter to administrative officials in the executive branch, law enforcement personnel, and the judicial branch.”

She said the bill was intended to “provide guidance to officials.

You’d be happy to know the bill is not going to be taken up by the House.

Ted Nugent Almost Kinda Apologized For His Remarks About President Obama

Feeling pressure from other Republicans who themselves are running or will run for office, Ted Nugent went on CNN earlier today and offered somewhat of an almost oh by the way apology, not so much to President Obama, but to all the “much better” men out there… namely the Republican men.

“I do apologize–not necessarily to the President–but on behalf of much better men than myself,” he said in an interview with conservative radio host Ben Ferguson, who’s also a CNN political commentator.

Texas attorney general Greg Abbott, the likely GOP gubernatorial nominee this year, came under heavy criticism from Democrats this week for campaigning with Nugent, who’s known for making outlandish comments about the President.

Nugent said he apologizes “for using the streetfighter terminology of ‘subhuman mongrel’ instead of just using more understandable language, such as ‘violator of his own- the Constitution.”

In his apology, Nugent appeared to regret more the fact that his language has been tied to Republican politicians from his state, such as Abbott, Gov. Rick Perry, and Sen. Ted Cruz.

“I apologize for using the term,” he said. “I will try to elevate my vernacular to the level of those great men that I’m learning from in the world of politics.”

While Perry and Cruz both said they found Nugent’s comment inappropriate, they didn’t rule out campaigning with him.

Michelle Obama and the “Young People are Knuckleheads” Controversy

There seems to be some controversy surrounding something Michelle Obama said on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show last night.

Speaking about the importance of healthcare and young people, The First Lady made a statement that is considered by most, if not all, to be true.

We were all young, or younger at one point in our lives and healthcare was never a concerned. We all thought we were invincible. We took chances and did crazy things that, looking back on some on those decisions now, could be considered dumb decisions, knucklehead moves.

The First Lady made that observation in last night’s shiw and the right is having a field day, lambasting Michelle Obama for calling young people knuckleheads.

Of course the agree with the First Lady, but because she’s an Obama and a Democrat, her statement is now controversial.

Here is the video from the show.

This Republican Introduced a Bill to Increase CO2 in The Atmosphere

Jerry Anderson

A Republican member of Utah’s Legislature has introduced a bill to curb the state’s ability to regulate carbon dioxide emissions. Rep. Jerry Anderson, a retired science teacher, told a committee on Tuesday that doubling the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere would pose no harmful consequences.

In fact, to support his cause, Anderson said that when dinosaurs walked the Earth, the level of CO2 concentrate was at 600 parts per million and “they did quite well,” he told the Salt Lake Tribune.

“We are short of carbon dioxide for the needs of the plants,” he said.

The bill further clarified that the meaning of the term “air contaminants” to state that it should exclude “natural components of the atmosphere, including nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and other noble gases, water vapor, steam, and carbon dioxide in amounts less than 500 parts per million, or any combination of them.”

Anderson’s belief is contrary to current science. According to a study from the Carnegie Institution for Science, which was reported in Science Daily, trees and other type of plants help cool the planet. However, increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere “are turning down this global air conditioner.” Researchers also found that more than a quarter of the warming because of higher levels of carbon dioxide is a result of its direct impact on plants. It is a “heat-trapping greenhouse gas,” scientists say.

Jordan Davis’ Dad Wants to Visit Michael Dunn in Prison

Mr Davis said in an interview for Nightline: ‘I would like Michael Dunn to put me on his visitor’s list in prison. I would like to go see him and sit across the table.

‘One thing that I know that we would talk about is, “I have to try to make you understand what you’ve taken away from our family, some way, whether it be words or what, I have to make you understand.”‘

‘We have to make him say that, “you killed Jordan and it was unlawful,”‘ Davis added.

‘Because otherwise if you leave it, then you killed Jordan and it was OK that you killed Jordan.’

He said: ‘This guy had indifference towards my son and killed him and continued to shoot at these boys.

‘A person like Michael Dunn could be so callous as to disregard the life of Jordan Davis. Just threw his life away like it was nothing.

‘You didn’t do what I told you to do, so I’m going to shoot you.’

His mother and father described how their son was the ‘life of the party’ and would strive to include everyone.

It comes after A juror who deliberated on the Florida ‘loud music’ trial has spoken out, saying she believes Michael Dunn should have been convicted of murdering 17-year-old Jordan Davis.

Dunn, 47, was found guilty on several counts of attempted second-degree murder for shooting at other teens in the car with Davis, but the jury was deadlocked on whether or not Dunn murdered Davis or felt he was reacting to a threat.

Sarah Palin is Endorsing Greg Abbott Because of Ted Nugent

The failed half term governor from Alaska turned political celebrity to the right winged nitwits, made her very important announcement on her Facebook page, explaining that if Nugent is campaigning with Abbott, then all is well in the universe.

“If he is good enough for Ted Nugent, he is good enough for me!” Palin wrote in a Facebook post Wednesday.

Abbott, currently serving as the state’s attorney general and challenging Democrat Wendy Davis, came under fire this week after inviting Nugent to campaign with him. The musician recently made offensive remarks about the president, who he called a “subhuman mongrel” in a January interview.

Abbott said Nugent would be joining him on the trail to expose Davis’s position on gun rights and the musician already appeared at an event Tuesday.

Palin wrote that Abbott is “a believer in the power of liberty and the need to defend our freedoms from the overreach of an out-of-control federal government.”

Pat Robertson Resorts To Stupidity – No Climate Change, ’cause “it’s Freezing” Outside

It’s winter and it’s cold outside, so Climate Change is therefore a hoax. I know you’ve heard that before. It’s a favorite calling card for the stupid… that is, it’s a favorite calling card for the Republicans. Today’s candidate to demonstrate the stupidity? Pat Robertson.

Responding to a comment made by Secretary of State John Kerry that Climate Change is “the greatest problem of our generation,” in the same category with poverty, terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, Pat Robertson felt the need to respond and he chose the dumbest talking point in the Republican arsenal.

“I don’t know where Kerry has been spending his time,” Robertson said, “but maybe he’s so wealthy they have a special house that has tropical plants in it so he feels like he’s in the tropics, but for the rest of us, it’s been cold as the Dickens!”

“It’s idiocy and they’re laughing at people who go outside and it’s freezing!”

Jon Stewart Dissects The Michael Dunn Case and Verdict – Video


It was Jon Stewart’s turn to respond to the travesty that is the Michael Dunn verdict. Dunn, who drove up to, engaged in, shot 10 bullets into a car containing four teenagers and killing one of them in the process, was convicted over the weekend of trying to kill the teenagers, but received no conviction on the child he did kill.

Stewart began his piece reminding us of another Floridian case involving George Zimmerman, where he approached another innocent teenager, attacked and killed him. Justice for that teenager – Trayvon Martin – never materialized as his killer walked away a free man because his lawyer somehow convinced a jury that Martin attacked Zimmerman with a sidewalk.

The Jury bought it.

After fully dissecting the lies testimony of this second Floridian case involving Michael Dunn and the teenager he murdered – Jordan Davis – Stewart looked at the not guilty verdict and concluded that the apparent message Floridians wanted to convey was, “if you fire a gun, you better fucking hit somebody, ’cause if there’s one thing Floridians don’t tolerate, it’s survivors.”

He also brought correspondent Jessica Williams into the conversation. Williams had some recommendations for teenagers in Florida… black male teenagers that is, because based on these two cases and the outcome, black male teenagers in Florida are easily targeted. One of her recommendations was to ‘stay in school…” As in, stay indoors. Do not go outside!

Jessica concluded that the “Stand Your Ground Law” which helps these murders and murderers to walk free, cannot be used by black people. She says that the law works best for whites because it’s like bleach working wonders for whites,while destroying colors.

New Study – Missouri Murder Rate Rise with Easier Access to Guns

A new study has found that around 60 more people have been murdered each year since the state of Missouri made it easier to buy a handguns without going through a background check.

In the study which will be published in an issue of the Journal of Urban Health, a team of researchers led by Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research Director Daniel Webster found that between 55 to 63 more people were murdered each year after Missouri repealed its permit-to-purchase (PTP) handgun law in 2007.

“This study provides compelling confirmation that weaknesses in firearm laws lead to deaths from gun violence,” Webster said in a press release. “There is strong evidence to support the idea that the repeal of Missouri’s handgun purchaser licensing law contributed to dozens of additional murders in Missouri each year since the law was changed.”
