I have long wondered how, after centuries of great civilizations, such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome, the western world could have then retreated into the “dark ages”. Population declined, especially in urban centers, there was less trade, and a decided lack of literary and cultural output. Reading Timothy Egan’s opinion piece “Building a Nation of […]
A fire at the construction site of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro (in a town near Nashville TN) has been ruled as arson. Gasoline was poured on several pieces of construction equipment and ignited. So let me get this straight. Someone who considers themselves to be a real American was upset about terrorism, so they […]

Yes, I know I said I was going to try to ignore the whole “ground zero mosque” meme, but I can’t help myself. Especially when The Daily Show is this funny.

He’s down there with Snooki, Jwoww, the The Situation.” – David Letterman “President Obama could not wait to get on vacation. As soon as […]

I think some amount of applause is due to Ken Mehlman, the former chairman of the RNC who also served as Bush campaign manager in 2004. Mehlman announced in a magazine interview that he is gay. And, as someone snarkily put it, he wasn’t even arrested before he made the announcement. Even more, he plans […]

So, is this the most absolutely stunning lying hypocrisy ever perpetrated by Fox News, or the stupidest, worst, most mind-numbingly idiotic reporting ever done by Fox News? We report, you decide.

A few days ago, I said I wasn’t going to talk about the Park51 Islamic cultural center (aka the “Ground Zero Mosque”), because it was being used as a distraction by the Republican party. But Glenn Greenwald makes the point that this has grown far beyond a simple distraction, and is showcasing growing American religious […]
[Satire from Andy Borowitz] In what might be the most serious challenge to Barack Obama’s legitimacy as President, a new poll shows that one out of five Americans are not convinced that Mr. Obama exists. The poll, conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute, reveals that 23 percent of those surveyed “strongly agreed” […]
