Representative Wilson Falsely Claims Obama Lied… Will You Stand With Joe?

Representative Joe Wilson from South Carolina sure did cause a stink Wednesday evening.
Wilson was the guy who famously hollered, “You lie!” in the middle of the President’s speech about health care reform to the Joint Sessions of Congress Wednesday night. Obama was in the process of addressing a pesky falsehood about the health care bill, one stating that should the legislation [...]

Sarah Palin, Resignation and Basketball

I just finished listening to Sarah Palin’s resignation speech, from start to finish.
Wowsers.
After almost 7 full minutes of rambling… and not a whole lot of sense-making, we learn that she is stepping down as Governor of Alaska.
It was quite disjointed, from strange basketball analogies to promises to affect political change for Alaska outside of politics, to my personal [...]

Trolley Drivers, Transgender Employees and Trash

The headline screams, “Report: Boston Trolley Driver Was Hired With Transgender Minority Status”.
Huh.
I think Fox News has just taken the prize for the most inconsequential headline of the century.
It’s amazing to me how “mainstream” media will take an actual story- in this case, a real-life tragedy- and spin it into the most irrelevant drivel imaginable.
In [...]

Joe The Plumber, Queers and Honkies

Joe the Plumber, while not my most favorite person in the world, certainly provides me endless entertainment.
For that reason, he can’t be all bad.
Well, that’s not completely true.
He certainly is fun though!
Most recently, Joe was hatin’ on gay people… enjoying his favorite past-time of judging others in the name of God.
My, my, my.
What a Christian [...]

8 + 6 = 14… And We’re All Paying For It… One Way Or Another

I am sick as a dog, likely with the plague.
That’s not necessarily an official diagnosis… I just feel quite plague-ish.
I believe my head is going to explode off my very shoulders, and I have spent my entire year’s worth of Health Savings money on Thera-Flu.
All in the past 24 hours.
With that being said, I’m cranky [...]

Pots, Kettles, Obama and Guantanamo Bay

One thing is certain- as horrible as the political commentary on Fox News may be, I am nonetheless grateful for it.
… In my own way.
It keeps me from getting writers’ block, and there’s somethin’ to be said for that!
On the heels of today’s news that President Obama has issued an executive order to shut down Guantanamo Bay (within [...]

Sarah Palin, Africa and “the Southern Part of the Country”

For those of you who are sad that John McCain/Sarah Palin lost the election, perhaps this report will make you feel a little better about the way things turned out.
It appears that Sarah Palin never knew Africa was a continent.
She thought it was a country, and that when people refer to “South Africa”, they were merely [...]

John McCain, Stewie, Nazis and Socialists

One of the top stories today on Fox News is entitled, “Did ‘Family Guy’ Go Too Far With Nazi ‘McCain’ Pin?”.
When I saw it, I laughed.
I then feverishly searched YouTube for a clip from the episode in question.
I have to wonder… if ‘Family Guy’ went too far in depicting McCain supporters as Nazis, does that [...]

Pigs, John McCain and Changing Tides

Well, it looks like the tide is beginning to change.
Poor old (and I do mean old) McCain-the-Maverick has had a challenging last few days.
Seems even Republicans- some of which are very near the top of John McCain’s campaign- have had enough.
Karl Rove, in a statement that made me wonder if I should begin building a bunker in preparation for the [...]

Colin Powell, Barack Obama and the DNC

I just saw a report that gave me butterflies in my stomach… and I almost literally began jumping for joy.
Fox News is exclusively reporting that Colin Powell will be endorsing Barack Obama for President.
Wow.
This is huge.
According to the article, Powell will make his endorsement official while giving a speech at the Democratic National Convention.
Wait… What?
Powell’s speaking at the Democratic National [...]
