Because even Ayn Rand liked government cheese:

Providence, R.I. game developer 38 Studios knew it was in dire straits before it moved the company from Massachusetts to the Ocean State, according to documents filed in Rhode Island Superior Court.

Rhode Island Economic Development Corp. attorney Max Wistow said there was “crushing evidence” that shows that the former Red Sox Ace Curt Schilling and others at the company covered up financial information, the Providence Journal reports.

Title: “The God Argument: The Case against Religion and for Humanism”

Author: A. C. Grayling

Rank: 28

Blurb: “What are the arguments for and against religion and religious belief — all of them — right across the range of reasons and motives that people have for being religious, and do they stand up to scrutiny? … Equally important: what is the alternative to religion as a view of the world and a foundation for morality? Is there a worldview and a code of life for thoughtful people — those who wish to live with intellectual integrity, based on reason, evidence, and a desire to do and be good — that does not interfere with people’s right to their own beliefs and freedom of expression?”

You know who else supports amnesty besides Marco Rubio? Communist Party USA. po.st/MfE32h

— Bryan Fischer (@BryanJFischer) April 7, 2013

Bryan Fischer would welcome comparisons to Joe McCarthy, so we won’t give him the pleasure. Instead, we applaud the Shaming of Wingnut Apostates, and heartily encourage other Batshit Patriots to step up and clean house. You folks keep hankering for a civil war, so why not start at home?

“The President, the Senate Majority Leader, the House Democratic Leader, and the Chair of the Democratic National Committee… made funding Planned Parenthood an issue in the 2012 campaign. They should now all be held to account for that outspoken support. If the media won’t, then voters must ask the pressing questions: Do these Democrats also believe a newborn has no rights? Do they also endorse infanticide?” —Reince Priebus, keeping it classy. [RedState, via Political Wire]

Dear gawd, this is confusing…

Virginia Attorney General Kenneth Cuccinelli has filed a petition with the 4th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Richmond asking the full 15-judge court to reconsider a decision by a three-judge panel last month that overturned the state’s sodomy law.

Okay, not that part. Sounds like fun! The Cooch fights for your right to legally hate icky sex!

The three-judge panel ruled 2-1 on March 12 that a section of Virginia’s “Crimes Against Nature” statute that outlaws sodomy between consenting adults, gay or straight, is unconstitutional based on a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2003 known as Lawrence v. Texas.

Crimes against nature? Sounds like a great statute to prosecute oil companies!

But here’s the confusing part:
