– Post toasties
The Post is a right-wing rag owned by Rupert Murdoch so it’s no surprise that it would print lies to smear a union; those pesky unions force corporations to treat workers like human beings and that drives right-wingers (and their corporate masters) up the wall. — Ryking

It's Just Snowed in Scottsdale and Mesa
This is the valley; we don’t get snow in this part of Arizona. Of course, this was a light dusting, every snowflake dying on impact and leaving a raindrop corpse, but still… I haven’t seen snow, in person, for over twenty years.

Fox v CNN V MSNBC
liberalsarecool:

So it turns out that New Jersey’s Republican lieutenant governor has a pretty darn good excuse for not being in the state during its current snowpocalypse: Her father lives in Mexico and is dying from Stage IV cancer. This, of course, makes Republican Governor Christie’s sunny Florida vacation even more appalling; he should have postponed his family vacation, given the fact that he...
