Kagro in the Morning


Aug 22, 2013

Right out of the box with a GunFAIL note this morning: the safety instructor who accidentally shot a student the other day has another accidental shooting in his past. Greg Dworkin gives us his round-up on Maureen Dowd's latest screw-up, a doc's perspective on "the best health care system in the world," and Atlanta school hero Antoinette Tuff. A new documentary is out about Lizz Winstead's heroic (really) national comedy tour in support of Planned Parenthood. Leave it to Republicans to simultaneously concern troll about "government intrusion" even as they insist on drug-testing food stamp recipients. Lynn Cheney steps in it with the Wyoming authorities & gets busted for her bogus fishing license application. Louisiana Republicans tell pollsters they blame Obama for Katrina response. Emptywheel follows up on yesterday's news that Qwest actually did cooperate with NSA spying after all. RH Reality Check rounds up the actual facts about state regulation of abortion, and--surprise!--the reality doesn't fit the Republican narrative. Cayman Islands agrees to help the U.S. hunt down tax cheats, closing the window on our privateering project.
