In Spite of Evidence 0

Paul Krugman wonders:

And the list goes on. On issues that range from monetary policy to the control of infectious disease, a big chunk of America’s body politic holds views that are completely at odds with, and completely unmovable by, actual experience. And no matter the issue, it’s the same chunk. If you’ve gotten involved in any of these debates, you know that these people aren’t happy warriors; they’re red-faced angry, with special rage directed at know-it-alls who snootily point out that the facts don’t support their position.

The question, as I said at the beginning, is why. Why the dogmatism? Why the rage? And why do these issues go together, with the set of people insisting that climate change is a hoax pretty much the same as the set of people insisting that any attempt at providing universal health insurance must lead to disaster and tyranny?

Man to Republicans:  Unemployment is down, gas is cheap, and the economy is growing.  I thought you said Obama was a Socialist.  Republicans:  He can't even do that right.

Things one can't do while black (but white people do all the time):  Walk, run, shop, daydream, drive, issue executive orders.

Yeah. Right.

Afterthought:

There is no truth to the rumor I’m starting that the GOP is changing its name to Gamma Omega Phi and opening a chapter at the University of Virginia.

How Stuff Works 0

The Miami Herald explores the smoke-filled emails of how Republicans gerrymandered Florida. A snippet:

The emails also detail how the consultants proposed districts that benefitted some Republicans or, in one proposal, “retires Bill Young,” the now-deceased congressman from Pinellas County.

The consultants established a database of lawmakers’ home addresses and overlayed them on some maps. In another case, they considered ways to pack black voters in a Miami-Dade district by creating a district with “some long tentacles to reach out and grab enough black population.”
