Politics as either high art, or insanity

Whether you think Carl Paladino is serious, insane, or the next sub-genius, his campaign certainly is ironic. Maybe he is just following in the footsteps of some of the crazier members of the Republican party (cough, Bachmann, cough Palin) and trying to see how insane you can be and ironically still get away with it.

“Christine O’Donnell was caught lying about her educational background. She may not believe in pleasuring herself, but she thought her resume needed massaging.” – Craig Ferguson “Until last week it said on her online profile that she attended Oxford University, which of course one of the most prestigious colleges on earth.

Size does matter, so our Top 10 now goes to 14

I no longer find it ironic when a top anti-gay crusader is found, um, tasting his own medicine, so I didn’t do a posting when rabid anti-gay pastor Eddie Long was found with a medium-sized harem of teen-aged boys. It almost goes without saying now that the more homophobic you are in public, the more […]

The Party’s Over

America Speaking Out: the GOP Not Listening

The Pledge to America was supposed to be based on the GOP’s much ballyhooed “GOP Listening Tour”, including their (taxpayer funded) “America Speaking Out” website where visitors submitted ideas that were voted up or down by others.

“The Republicans released their ‘Pledge to America.’ It’s 21 pages of phony charts and bad ideas. Sarah Palin got a copy, and she said, ‘How am I supposed to fit all this crap on my hand?’” – Bill Maher “Sarah Palin was considering running for president, until she heard it was a four-year deal.” – […]
