Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, whose department described the penny as a “nuisance” in budget documents, said the coin is now more trouble than it’s worth.

Mar 28thRep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) donned a hood and dark sunglasses on the House floor this morning, saying, “Just because someone wears a hoodie does not make them a hoodlum.” As the Republican Rep. Greg Harper banged his gavel, Rep. Rush continued shouting, “May God bless Trayvon Martin’s soul, his family…” as he was escorted off of the floor and out of the room. Apparently it’s against House rules to wear a hat—and Rep. Harper explained, “The chair finds that the donning of a hood is not consistent with this rule. Members need to remove their hoods or leave the floor.” Here’s video.

"For women, obviously birth control is not a religious topic: it’s a health topic, and 99 percent of women in America use it. And at Planned Parenthood, we provide birth control to millions of women every single year, so yeah — I think they’re kind of mystified by what the ‘controversy’ is all about.
…I think we’re seeing in this presidential primary this sort of, like, race to the bottom, where every presidential candidate on the Republican side is trying to say ‘I would be absolutely the worst for women.’"–CECILE RICHARDS, president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, on The Daily Show (via inothernews) -
"When you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You didn’t place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible."

Let me preface this video by stating that here is nothing that I can come up with here that will do this video justice, it is 5 minutes and 17 seconds of genius. You’ll simply have to watch it for all of the brief remarks.
In the video, Rep. Luis Gutierez (D-Ill) takes “on the GOP and Mitt Romney’s characterization of Arizona’s onerous anti-immigration policies as a ‘model’ the U.S. should follow.” From the HuffPost,
And with this, the Congressman is off to the races, counting exactly how Arizona’s law is a terrible model for the rest of the country:
- “One, if you’re a politician, Arizona’s law is a model for how to achieve early retirement.”
- “Two, if you want to wreck your local economy, Arizona’s law is a model for lost jobs and tax revenue.”
- “Three, Arizona’s law is a model for how to energize Latino voters.”
- “Four — and I’ll stop at four because my time in limited — Arizona’s law is a model on how to make decent people suffer.”
Rep. Luis Gutierrez began his speech by stating well-known Latino demographics (the number one way to scare politicians) and then stating, “that’s a lot of people to keep track of, especially if you want to offend each and every one of them.” Can you feel the burn? I can. I hope it’s not a rash.

"Rick, I’m sorry that hearing that JFK speech on religion makes you throw up, but if it makes you feel any better, knowing that you were running for President would make him shit his pants."
–JON STEWART, on Rick Santorum saying JFK’s historic speech on the separation of church and state makes him want to “throw up,” on The Daily Show (via inothernews) -
"I don’t believe in an America where there’s a separation of church and state… Saying there’s no place for people of faith in the public square? It just makes me want to throw up!"
