The Rights of Terrorists?

© John Sherffius Don’t get me wrong — I’m all for the second amendment. But some people’s priorities seem a bit screwed up. I also believe in free speech, but that doesn’t include the right to yell “fire” in a crowded theater. So why is it that someone on the terrorist watch list can be […]

The Further Destruction of the Republican Party

© Mike Luckovich Plus, Tea Partiers in Utah at a Republican Party convention denied the Senate nomination to three term incumbent Bob Bennett, despite the fact that Bennett is popular with Republicans in Utah.

Happy Birthday to Political Irony

My inaugural post to this blog was two years ago today. At the time I had no idea it would become so popular, and figured that readership would drop after the presidential elections. Ironically, the readership actually took off shortly after the election. I hope you enjoy a little humor with your politics. Thanks to […]

“Anybody here from Arizona? Yeah, you know, they have this immigration law in Arizona. I guess it’s because they share a border with Mexico. In essence, the new law in Arizona is if you don’t look like you belong there, get out. And if you’re in this country illegally, I think I speak for most […]

Let’s Try The Free Market!

John Cole has a revolutionary idea — let’s let the free market take care of things. His brilliant idea? Make the oil companies responsible for the total clean up cost of their oil spills. If they can’t pay, they go bankrupt. That might make them a bit more safety conscious. After the Exxon Valdez disaster, […]

As I mentioned, I’m away for a week (partly work and partly fun). Internet access might be spotty, so I might not be able to post as much as I usually do.

Missed Immigration Information

I’m visiting Arizona for a week, and I’m taking this opportunity to talk to some of the locals about the new immigration law. I’ve just begun, but I’ve already noticed a few interesting things.

Late Night Political Humor

“Have you guys been following the whole oil disaster? Yesterday, President Obama said: ‘Let me be clear. BP is responsible for this leak. BP will be paying the bill.’ And BP was like: ‘Ah, bailout? Right?’” – Jimmy Fallon “Anybody from the Gulf of Mexico area? It’s going to be the biggest ecological disaster on […]

How Memes are Born: “Lift My Luggage”

Rekers is a Baptist minister who co-founded the Family Research Council with James Dobson, has published numerous books and studies condemning gays, and sits of the board […]

It’s All Obama’s Fault

© Jeff Danziger Right now, I think Obama could say something in favor of Christmas, and right wing talk radio would condemn him for it.
