 Jacob Weisberg EXPLAINS “why gay marriage, getting high and going to Cuba will soon be legal.”
 An excerpt:
 Our forms of prohibition are more sins of omission than commission. Rather than trying to take away longstanding rights, they’re instances of conservative laws failing to keep pace with a liberalizing society. But like Prohibition in the ’20s, these restrictions have become indefensible as well as impractical, and as a result are fading fast. Within 10 years, it seems a reasonable guess that Americans will travel freely to Cuba, that all states will recognize gay unions, and that few will retain criminal penalties for marijuana use by individuals. Whether or not Democrats retain control of Congress, whether or not Obama is re-elected, and whether they happen sooner or later than expected, these reforms are inevitable—not because politics has changed but because society has.

The only problem is that the Ayers and Wright who visited the White House aren’t the right wing’s favorite boogeymen (above). They’re guys with the same names, as we learn HERE.

 Fifty-eight percent of Fox poll respondents SAY George W. Bush is more to blame for the current state of the economy.
 Even most Republicans don’t put the blame solely on President Obama.
 But, of course, this is a Fox News poll, and we all know that Fox has a liberal bias. Heh, heh.

 As regular readers of Applesauce know, Shepard Smith of Fox News is a favorite of mine.
 HERE’s why.

 In light of dramatic demographic changes in the political landscape, how smart is THIS?
 (By the way, because of the misspelling on the sign in the photo above, this image has become downright iconic and has been reproduced countless times across the Internet and in other media. Furthermore, the word “morans” is often invoked to mock wingnuts.)

 This LOONY STUFF was posted the other day on the Web site of Pat Robertson’s Christian Broadcast Network – but then strangely disappeared.
 An excerpt:
 During this period demons are assigned against those who participate in the rituals and festivities. These demons are automatically drawn to the fetishes that open doors for them to come into the lives of human beings. For example, most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches.
 I do not buy candy during the Halloween season. Curses are sent through the tricks and treats of the innocent whether they get it by going door to door or by purchasing it from the local grocery store. The demons cannot tell the difference.
