Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, first Congressperson to officially describe her religion as “none,” is sworn in not on the Bible, but on the document she’s actually supposed to be protecting and upholding—the Constitution.

Edit: She’s also the first openly bisexual Congressperson. (via eyesdriftskyward)

[Fun fact: James Madison remains the only president to take his oath of office on a book of laws, rather than the Bible.]

You go, lady!

President Obama stopped shaking hands for a moment today so that he could embrace a sobbing woman whose uninsured sister recently died of colon cancer.

And the Republican response.

Religious leaders lay on the ground and pray over a bible and a copy of the verdict on President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare overhaul law outside the Supreme Court in Washington June 28, 2012. 

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld President Barack Obama’s healthcare law on Thursday in an election-year triumph for him and fellow Democrats and a stinging setback for Republican opponents of the most sweeping overhaul of the unwieldy U.S. healthcare system in about a half century.

Almost as ridic as when Christians were praying at the gold bull statue on Wall St. in 2008.

So they’re praying for more poor people to die? 

Remember, kids:

“It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven. ” - The ol’ J.C. himself (Matthew 19:24)

Because breaking down and praying that the poorest people in this country won’t have access to medical care is something Jesus would TOTALLY do, after all, Jesus is well known for how much he hated helping people, curing the sick, and just hating poor people in general.

How many of us remember this well known Bible verse:

“And Jesus sayeth, “get a job, you lazy, homeless bastard!”

It’s one of my favorites. I plan to cross stitch it, frame it, and hang it next to my mother’s six foot long cross stitch artwork of the Last Supper.

Love,

Rabble

I heard a peal of delight and turned around — that’s the picture at the top of this post. Hilary Matfess, a young policy analyst, was jumping up and down, yelling out details.

“The mandate is constitutional! It was upheld! Roberts went for the swing vote! Yes! Oh my God! The individual mandate survives as a tax!”

Did you work on passing the bill? I asked.

“No!” said Matfess. “I just have lupus!”

“This is for our young C-SPAN [viewers]: Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. These young people have overcome their very different national origins and become apparently a happy couple. I’m sure Justin helped Gomez learn all about American customs and feel more at home in her adopted country. Oh, wait a minute. I’m sorry. Because I’m not a trained Arizona official, I somehow got that backwards. Actually, Ms. Gomez of Texas has helped Mr. Bieber of Canada learn about his adopted country. Justin, when you perform in Phoenix, remember to bring your papers.” - Representative Luis Gutierrez (D-IL)

winning.
