Lies, Freaks and Videotapes

October 29, 2009

Remember back in May of this year when the tender and delicate feelings of some Republicans were bruised when Speaker Nancy Pelosi said this….

She accused the [...]

Crystal Balling It

September 30, 2009

No, crystal balling it ain't as arousing or provocative as, say, Teabagging it…but crystal balling it is a bit more coherent and understandable than TeaBagging it…so there's that.

Busting The News

September 23, 2009

I read a good one from the associate editor of NewsBusters. NewsBusters is a creatively conservative online site usually chock full of fact-free, wingnut postings.

You have probably seen a video clip by now of a sting on multiple ACORN offices by Hannah Giles (playing the prostitute) and James O'Keefe (playing the [...]

Tea Partiers: The Incarnation of Dick Cheney

September 15, 2009

Updated below
Humans will lie about almost anything…..check that….Humans will lie about anything. I'm not sure whether the human habit of lying can be attributed to evolution or not. Perhaps we have been programmed over 15,000 years or so to deceive other humans for self-preservation purposes.

Much has been said about the young black man outside of an Arizona health care reform town hall. The one who had an AR-15 semi-automatic assault weapon strapped to his back.

Reviewing the "Rage"

August 12, 2009

The profound wisdom of Duncan Black, aka, Atrios….
"Nobody could've predicted that electing a black man president would drive this country completely f*cking insane."
The milder, less abrasive thoughtfulness of today's AB Journal editorialist….
