South Carolina is the New Florida

It appears that South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford’s “hike in the Appalachians” was just the beginning.  The anti-gay Lt. Governor – Andre Bauer – that would replace Sanford should he resign has been outed (Blogactive via Gawker), and Sanford’s social conservative, home schooling member of the SC Board of Education -Kristin Mcguire, aka Bridget Keeney – has resigned amid a flurry of allegations that she wrote saucy amateur porn under a nom de plume.

We on the left are quick to yell hypocripsy, but that’s not the real issue here.   Those that take issue with the behavior of this threesome are conservatives themselves.  What is it about conservatives and the need to be publicly pious and privately perverted?  Why can’t they just be themselves?  Read more...

Shorter Sarah Palin Divorce Rumors

Quoted from Balloon Juice’s John Cole:

Without reading one story, let me guess: one random person on the internet makes something up, several others repeat it, then dozens of gravely offended right-wingers rush to defend Sarah’s honor, Palin camp denies the rumor, we spend the next two weeks talking about what a victim Sarah Palin is.

  • Schneier on Security: Security, Group Size, and the Human Brain – The smallest, three to five, is a "clique": the number of people from whom you would seek help in times of severe emotional distress. The twelve to 20 group is the "sympathy group": people with which you have special ties. After that, 30 to 50 is the typical size of hunter-gatherer overnight camps, generally drawn from the same pool of 150 people. No matter what size company you work for, there are only about 150 people you consider to be "co-workers." (In small companies, Alice and Bob handle accounting. In larger companies, it's the accounting department — and maybe you know someone there personally.) The 500-person group is the "megaband," and the 1,500-person group is the "tribe." Fifteen hundred is roughly the number of faces we can put names to, and the typical size of a hunter-gatherer society.
