In s must-read article in The Daily Beast, conservative Mark McKinnon says: What I want for Christmas is a new Republican Party. Or I’ll take the old Republican Party of Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, or George W. Bush. What I don’t want is the Republican Party we have today. As former George W. […]

Fox News continues to create their own bizarre reality. As of the time I’m posting this, an article from Dec 20 in Fox Nation still says “Bikers Turn Out to Protect Newtown Mourners from Left-Wing Westboro Cult”. Yeah right, the ultra-conservative “God Hates Fags” WBC is a left-wing cult. And Fox News is fair and […]

I have to confess that I stole that headline from Fark, which phrased it as “The NRA: Doing for gun rights what the Westboro Baptist Church does for Christianity since 1871”.

The vast majority of what has been reported as “voter fraud” has actually been voter registration fraud. For example, the supposed “voter fraud” cases that were used to destroy ACORN were actually cases where people who were paid to register voters submitted extra registrations in order to get paid more, and almost certainly resulted in […]

What happened to the American dream? The dream that anyone can make it if they work hard enough, and maybe have a little luck. That “you can make it if you try”. The dream that all men are created equal, and that nobody is above the law. As if it wasn’t bad enough that corporations […]

The joke used to be that people would say “I’m not a racist, but…” and then go on to say racist things. Well, the GOP apparently has a new version of that. It may not be acceptable to say racist things in public, but it is ok to accuse our first black president of having […]

“According to the Mayan calendar, December 21 marks the end of the world. Then why am I Christmas shopping?” – David Letterman “December 21, the end of the world, is a Friday. So it means dress is casual.” – David Letterman “Japan and South Korea are on high alert after North Korea successfully launched a […]
