1 Comments | Posted October 27, 2009 | 04:09 PM (EST)


It's not obstructionist Republicans or rabid Town Hallers or antediluvian trilobites at Fox News or rapacious insurance operatives or the nasty, brutish and short electorate. Hopealicious "universal health care" became tedious "health insurance reform" because of stupid, spineless, craven Democrats. While Senator Harry "Ambien" Reid's latest public option gambit...

Of Course Obama Is The One; Not That There's Anything Wrong With That

Posted August 11, 2008 | 04:22 PM (EST)


Unless you've been at a silent meditation retreat for several weeks, or held hostage by kidnappers awaiting ransom, you'll have seen the ad called "The One" by the respectful, issue-based propagandists over at John McCain 2008 HQ.

The ad, which is here, charges that Obama has "anointed himself...

Top 10 Ways Gay Marriage Harms Straight People

Posted July 29, 2008 | 04:53 PM (EST)


California is abuzz over same-sex marriage, as gay marriers swarm the Golden State like so many Castro-ized killer bees in case ruddy-faced values voters kill our buzz with November's constitutional amendment. There's so much to discuss before Melissa Etheridge releases an album of wedding music; before anyone splurges on Palm...
