Like all years, this Democratic National Convention is touted as THE year that the Democrats will end that darn D.C. corruption and REALLY let the Republicans have it. For those of you who haven't been watching, it's the same stuff Kerry said at his DNC, and Gore, and Clinton, all...

If I was going to dress as a Neo-Conservative for Halloween, I would wear an expensive pantsuit (complete with flag-pinned lapel,) carry the Bible under one arm, the Economist under the other, and arrange my hair in a humorless coif at the top of my skull. I would drape a...

A word of advice for anyone who is planning on videotaping footage at the Democratic or Republican National Convention this year: hide your camera.

Despite living in the age of information over-saturation, citizens, and protesters especially, face unprecedented levels of intimidation and censorship from an ever-expanding police and intelligence community....

Any casual viewer of cable news or peruser of the internet knows there's a lot of negativity floating out there in the American population. The Bush administration is constantly faced with this CAN'T-do spirit in the form of obnoxious protests and pesky petitions.

The most recent example of this...

On Thursday, The New Republic published an article entitled "End of the Affair." The article details how the press believes the Obama camp is behaving secretively, arrogantly, and carrying itself with a sense of unearned entitlement.

The love, it seems, is over. But so what? The end of...

I get it. People are pissed at Ralph Nader. They blame him for "stealing" votes from Gore and consequentially Bush defeating Gore in the 2000 election. They hate Ralph, and his droopy little eye, even though Pat Buchanan also "stole" some votes from Bush in Florida (and Iowa, New Mexico,...

Ideological contortionist, Barack Obama, marches toward his personal goal of causing one million progressives' heads to simultaneously explode.

He obtained an essential first step toward this aim when he capitulated on FISA, a move so contradictory to the core of the Progressive movement that outraged midget, Markos "Dailykos" Moulitsas,...

Now is the time when bloggers, pundits, and your immediate family will act like they were personally invested in George Carlin's artistic acts of bravery. Everyone will crow about the great man because he was great, and they'll declare his "Seven Dirty Words" routine a pillar of modern American comedy...

At last, Barack Obama is the Democratic Party's official nominee. Now, the Democrats move forward to November, but what sterling proxy will rise forth from the political herd to wow the country as Obama's right-hand man (or woman)?

Thus far, the suggestions are stunning in their mediocrity. There's not enough...

Despite being one of the most grotesquely overfed populations in recent memory, Americans remain preoccupied only with the quantity, and not the quality of their food. They don't mind if scientists inject their French fries with High-Fructose Corn Syrup as long as McDonald's Super-sizes their order for a nickel.

Yet,...

Last Wednesday more than 160 students in six different classes at Intermediate School 318 in the South Bronx refused to take another standardized test. The students boycotted the test not out of laziness or fears of failing, but because they are sick of being dragged out of their classrooms...

A recent ABC poll reports that 16% of U.S. science teachers are Creationists, and worse, one in eight of them admit to teaching Creationism as a kind of valid science in their classrooms .

There is such a thing as too much tolerance. Those of us born after 1980...

In case you didn't know, the loss of 20,000 American jobs in April is actually good news. You see, economists had predicted 73,000 jobs would be lost last month, so thank God we dodged that bullet, right?!

In fact, the unemployment rate fell to 5.0% from 5.1%...

This week marked the world premiere of GasHole, a new documentary film (narrated by Peter Gallagher) about the history of oil prices and the future of alternative fuels.

Biofuel gossip has been everywhere in the news lately. Bolivian President, Evo Morales, condemned...

Regardless of the outcome in Pennsylvania today, Barack Obama should begin to shift the focus of his attack from Hillary Clinton's fading star to John McCain's feisty Supernova.

Obama's people have downplayed the expectations for a victory in the PA race in an interview with The Washington Post, but...

Outside his audacity of hope, it could be Barack Obama's audacious scrutiny of religion that becomes his undoing.

Did I mention it's 2008? And yet we're still talking about God. Despite being so advanced and clever in all aspects of our existence, human beings are still talking about a...

Horrifically violent and totally chaotic, China has become impossible for the world to ignore. Of course, that won't stop American athletes and tourists from attending the Olympic games, nor American advertisers from leaching millions of dollars from the international gathering of irregularly muscular pole vaulters and aquatic overachievers.

Americans...

Allow me to put on my mittens, take you by the hands, and treat you like a retarded consumer incapable of critical thinking...
