We haven't dipped into this crazy bin in a while, but Ms. Teabagger Untethered Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) is obviously calling for "civil disobedience" in order to clean up the environment of wingnuts through fines and jail time. I'm on board with that one, Michelle!
The Tea Party hero is telling people not to pay taxes if ObamaCare passes. Is Bachmann fighting the good fight - or losing her grip on reality?
This isn't the first time "Mama Che" Bachmann's tried to "incite Americans to revolution," armed or otherwise, says Rick Ungar in True/Slant. If she wants to flout the soon-to-be-passed health care law, and her oath to uphold it, fine. But taxpayers shouldn't foot her salary, and generous health benefits, while she becomes "an enemy of the U.S. government."

(Jackson, Miss.) The Mississippi Department of Corrections agreed to end the segregation of prisoners with HIV, a longstanding discriminatory policy that has prevented prisoners from accessing key resources that facilitate their successful transition back into the community.
My god -- why did Pennsylvania ever send this dolt to the Senate? Thank goodness he's not there now; unfortunately the garbage keeps flowing from the piehole. On the Greta Van Susteren program on Faux News former GOP Senator Rick Santorum let loose with this pearl of political wisdom.
I think the Democrats are actually worried he may go to Indonesia and bow to more Muslims. That's sort of the concern that every time he seems to go to these other countries, he comes back or starts some sort of controversy that hits his popularity. I'm serious.

The company that created the gay and lesbian cruise concept is commemorating its 25th birthday with a Silver Anniversary Cruise in Hawaii.

The folks over at Servicemembers United have been looking at that infamous "I got 1100 Admirals and Generals to oppose DADT repeal!" letter from The Doyenne of Discrimination. The results are rather interesting, to say the least.
Servicemembers United’s report entitled ‘Flag and General Officers for the Military: A Closer Look’ is now publicly available. While the findings disclosed in this new document are preliminary, the research into the signatories of this list is still ongoing. Future versions will include expanded and updated information as that information is discovered and verified.

This case presents a constitutional question never addressed by this Court: whether a statutory scheme adopted by the State of Virginia to prevent marriages between persons solely on the basis of racial classifications violates the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment. For reasons which seem to us to reflect the central meaning of those constitutional commands, we conclude that these statutes cannot stand consistently with the Fourteenth Amendment.
...These statutes also deprive the Lovings of liberty without due process of law in violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The freedom to marry has long been recognized as one of the vital personal rights essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men.

This week's episode of Lost ("Recon"), written by Elizabeth Sarnoff and Jim Galasso and directed by Jack Bender, placed its focus squarely on James "Sawyer" Ford as the one-time con man embarked on what might just be his most ambitious and dangerous double-cross ever as he attempts to play two very different men against each other. Will his gambit pay off? Will he be able to escape the island? Should anyone ever take Sawyer at his word? We'll have to wait to find out.
But before his latest stratagem kicks into place, Sawyer was sent on a mission of great importance, one that forced him to retrace his steps and return to a place he hoped he would never have to see again, a place that awakened feelings long thought dead, and he came face to face with someone who is either the savior or the villain in the final battle to come.
So what did I think of this week's episode? Heat up a microwave dinner, snag a single sunflower, don't open that drawer, and let's discuss "Recon."
I have to say that I really enjoyed this week's episodes and felt that the two sides of the episode--the mainstream reality and the Lost-X alternate reality--held up equally well. Some viewers have complained that the so-called sideways universe has lacked weight, given that we don't know yet how it connects to what we're seeing unfold on the island.
To me, that's never been the case. I feel...

It's time for some Instant Dharma.
Last night, I had the extreme pleasure of being invited on AOL's weekly Lost-centric show Instant Dharma, where I joined host Maggie Furlong and IGN's Dharma Initiative-jumpsuited Matt Fowler to discuss this week's episode of Lost ("Recon"), where we talked about--SPOILER!--Sawyer's many cons, Charles Widmore's return to the island, Smocke's mommy issues, and much more.
You can catch my appearance on this week's episode of Instant Dharma below.
Lost airs Tuesdays at 9 pm ET/PT on ABC.

Just curious to see how many of you tuned in last night to watch the series premiere of FX's drama Justified.
While you read my advance review of the series premiere ("Fire in the Hole") and subsequent episodes, now that the first episode has aired, I'm curious what you thought of the episode. Did it live up to the hype? Did you enjoy the typically Elmore Leonard blend of action, comedy, and Western tropes?
What did you think of Timothy Olyphant's performance as U.S. Marshall Raylan Givens? And of the cast as a whole? (I ask thinking specifically of Walton Goggins' amazing turn as Boyd Crowder.) Surprised by the ending? What do you make of Raylan's anger issues and his relationships with ex-wife Winona and possible love interest Ava?
And, most importantly, will you be tuning in again next week?
Talk back here.
Next week on Justified ("Riverbrook"), Raylan tracks an escaped prisoner desperate to reunite with his former wife and a hidden fortune.
