yet another flip-flop...

...by a Republican with bigger asperations...

Rick Perry on gay ‘marriage’ in NY: ‘That’s their call;  it’s fine with me.’ | LifeSiteNews.com: 7/25/2011

“Our friends in New York six weeks ago passed a statute that said marriage can be between two people of the same sex. And you know what? That’s New York, and that’s their business, and that’s fine with me.”

“If you believe in the 10th amendment, stay out of their business if you live in some other state or particularly if you’re the federal government.”

"Yes, sir, I would. I am for the federal marriage amendment," he said. "And that's about as sharp a point as I could put on it."

Like Gingrinch and Romney, it is amazing how quickly they backpeddle on their own personal rational beliefs as soon as someone points out that the nutcases that decide the upcoming primaries don't like what you said.

Is there not ONE SINGLE REPUBLICAN in power who can actually have a rational thought, express it openly, and then continue to support it in spite of the "Tea Party" and Christian Right?

Neither "Paul" counts - both of them have also flip flopped on statements, or (like Scalia and Roberts) found alternative logic, to violate their supposed core principles when it suits them.

a recall on (Disney) pogo sticks

Disney Princess and Disney/Pixar Toy Story Cruising Cool Pogo Sticks - Product Recall - Toys"R"Us Corporate:

The bottom rubber tip attached to the pogo stick frame may wear off, posing a fall hazard. Also, the end caps on the handlebars can come off, exposing sharp edges, posing a laceration hazard.

ok, this one got to me. We've known for decades that "bottom rubber tip may wear off" and "end caps can come off" for things like this. Seriously. *Decades*.

So why do we still end up with companies making these things that haven't figure out how to NOT have that happen?  I realize it is a hard problem, but considering these problems existed in the 60s and the 70s, you'd think after 40 years WE'D HAVE SOLVED THEM BY NOW.

I just don't get it...
