See How That Works?
A self-professed racist, anti-semitic, right-wing extremist who shoots and kills a black man at the Holocaust Museum… is actually a man of the left, says Rush Limbaugh. Because, um, hate is something the left traffics in, not the right. The right is all about reason and compassion.

Arraignments are boring. Even arraignments of mothers who are alleged to have thrown their children off the Sellwood Bridge. This is perhaps best demonstrated in the Oregonian’s live blog of the arraignment of Amanda Jo Stott-Smith this afternoon.

“We live in Lake Oswego. We like Riccardo’s.”
