May 22, 2013 - The National

Lois Lerner won’t spill the IRS scandal beans, Mitch McConnell endorses hemp, PBS appeases David Koch, and The National shares their album “Trouble Will Find Me.”

Normally, I would embed the specific video I am talking about but there was a problem with that specific video.  In the first segment, Colbert addresses teh continuing coverage of the IRS scandal.  In one of the latest developments, IRS official Lois Lerner chose to invoke her Fifth Amendment right not to testify.  Watch as multiple cable news reporters, even Chris Matthews from the “liberal” MSNBC, question why she would do such a thing if she “has nothing to hide.”  Part of our Fifth Amendment right involves not having guilt associated with us for invoking constitutional protections, and this behavior erodes that right.  This is absolutely irresponsible.

Stephen Colbert brings to light a dissertation arguing that, on average, Hispanic immigrants’ IQs are substantially lower than white Americans’ IQs, and that said statistic won’t change over the course of the next few generations.  This dissertation was published by Harvard.  In 2009.

Colbert’s reference to Kafka isn’t a strong enough metaphor to describe this situation.

Someone argues that Martin Luther King, Jr. would have advocated for more guns and that we wouldn’t have had slavery if the founding fathers had given the black population the right to bear arms.  …Where do I begin?

North Carolina passes a law outlawing the results of a scientific study about rising sea levels and forces scientists to redo the study using an unreliable method of calculation.

Oh god, the stupid.
