GOP Congressional Candidate: Spousal Rape Shouldn't Be a Crime | Mother Jones

And not just the "notion" that a husband cannot be prosecuted for raping his wife, but this gem

In 2003, Black led a fight to prevent a statue of Abraham Lincoln seated with his son Tad from gracing the grounds of the Tredegar Iron Works, a Civil War-era foundry that supplied the Confederate army with cannons. "Putting a statue to [Lincoln] there is sort of like putting the Confederate flag at the Lincoln Memorial," Black told the Washington Post, adding that the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC ought to be enough. Black even asked the Virginia Attorney General, Republican Jerry Kilgore, to investigate whether any state laws prohibited the National Park Service, which leases Tredegar, from erecting the statue. (None did.)

Lighten up, jack.

The Koch Bros. go big with their first string candidate to take back the Senate.

Meanwhile, they're about to lose the house.
