Yesterday I mentioned how ‘Paper’, the iPad drawing/note-taking app, had dropped support for the Pogo Connect stylus in what appeared to be a brazen betrayal of its users. I think I’m now convinced that it was a tech/calendaring issue and they’ve now released a new version in the App store that restores said support.
If you had a chance to read Sahil Kapur’s history of the fall of the filibuster, he’s answering your questions about the article and the filibuster right now at The Hive (sub req).
My Lord, a few days ago we reported how Tea Partier and Texas Crazy Congressman Steve Stockman had the city Fire Marshal condemn his campaign headquarters as an unsafe workplace last month. This came out just after Stockman announced he was challenging John Cornyn for Senate – and I guess gives some insight into why Stockman is so against government regulations. But I didn’t realize it was this bad. We just got hold of the photos of the condemned property. And they’ve got to be seen to be believed. Particularly check out the bathroom, the second photo in the list.
I just noted two stories about the Pope this morning – one atmospheric, celebrating his 77th birthday with homeless men from Rome, the second more significant about the future direction of the Church, removing from a key committee a particularly outspoken foe of abortion and same-sex marriage who is a favorite of right-wing Catholics in the USA.
A new poll shows that that South Carolina sheriff who refused to lower the flag to half-staff to honor the passing of Nelson Mandela wasn’t alone: 45% of Republicans also opposed the gesture.
Ed Kilgore: Can the Right unite to block another “electable moderate” in 2016?
Not even a black Confederate activist could stop Nathan Bedford Forrest High School in Florida from changing its name to something less KKK-ish.
Pope Francis cans American Cardinal who is outspoken foe of abortion and same sex marriage. Cardinal Raymond L. Burke is also the guy who very publicly said at the height of the 2004 election cycle that John Kerry should not be given or receive the Eucharist and last week gave an interview critical of Pope Francis changes in the church.
O’Reilly: “Megyn Kelly is Correct: Santa was a white person.” Watch.
Just not the kind, I think, the climate deniers wanted. Top EPA climate scientist expert (at least highest paid) sentenced for skipping work and telling bosses he was working on an uber-secret mission for the CIA.
