Quote of the Day
Image via Wikipedia From Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize speech today: So let us reach for the world that ought to be – that spark of the divine that still stirs within each of our souls. Somewhere today, in the here and now, a soldier sees he’s outgunned but stands firm to keep the peace. [...]
Teabaggers for Santorum!
Sorry, my inner adolescent couldn’t resist that headline. But it looks like Rick Santorum, America’s favorite ex-Senator, is seriously mulling a White House bid in 2012: Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) gave his clearest words to date that he is seriously mulling a 2012 presidential bid. “Absolutely — absolutely taking a look,” he told ABC’s [...]
Glenn Beck’s Plan to Sell Books for 100 Years
Image by zenashots via Flickr Glenn Beck has the right to be a complete fucking moron. I don’t like it, but that’s his right. Mr. Beck is styling himself as a political organizer. In an interview, he said he would promote voter registration drives and sponsor a series of seven conventions across the country featuring [...]
Bill Donohue: Stupid or Evil?
Image by Ben Templesmith via Flickr Wow. Bill Donohue is a well-known asshole. When he shows up on cable news shows, he plays the role of the angry and aggressive wingnut. He makes clear his loathing of gay people and Democrats. That’s fine, but his virulence against people who are against those who disagree with [...]
The New GOP Is Off ‘Da Hook!
Image via Wikipedia If you haven’t been so lucky, you need to check out the GOP’s new website. If you’re lucky, a little Michael Steele will walk on your page and tell you how cutting edge the new GOP site is and how they’re going to be in touch with American communities and whatnot. It [...]
John Edwards is an Asshole
Image by Getty Images via Daylife In 2004, I thought Kerry picking Edwards as his running mate was a good move. After all, at the time, Edwards was a moderate Southern Democrat who looked good on TV and he ran a decent campaign in the 2004 primaries. Between 2004 and 2008, Edwards seemed to grow [...]
Biden on the ‘End of the Road’
Image via Wikipedia From Political Punch: Vice President Joe Biden said today that if Democrats were to lose 35 House seats they currently hold in traditionally Republican districts, it would mean doomsday for President Obama’s agenda. Biden said Republicans are pinning their political strategy on flipping these seats. “If they take them back, this the [...]
Rush Limbaugh: Stupid or Evil?
Image by Getty Images via Daylife Ugh. Some recent quotes from El Rushbo: It’s Obama’s America, is it not? Obama’s America — white kids getting beat up on school buses now. I mean, you put your kids on a school bus, you expect safety, but in Obama’s America, the white kids now get beat up [...]
Orly Taitz: Stupid or Evil?
Orly Taitz doesn’t think that Barack Obama was born in the United States. She so convinced that President Obama is an illegal alien that she’s taken her birther nonsense to court: Taitz had, to her credit, come up with a pretty creative strategy. The Birther lawsuits have, thus far, run up against the problem of [...]
