Yes, I know it isn’t actually a mosque, and it isn’t at ground zero, but a reader sent me an interesting question. As you may know, the second largest owner of Fox News is a Saudi Prince who happens to be a Muslem. This reader claims that Fox News has not mentioned the proposed “ground […]
As long as we are going to have down-in-the-mud politics, at least it should be funny!
Ben Quayle, the son of former VP Dan Quale, is running for Congress, and I guess he has to do something to get out from under the cloud of his infamously idiotic father, but I’m not sure if this is the right way to do it. In his new campaign ad, the first words out […]

“It’s been more than 24 hours since the court struck down California’s ban on gay marriage, but celebrations in San Francisco have been postponed until Friday.

Second, espousing virtues you don’t personally have to live up is basically […]
© August J. Pollak I really don’t understand the logic behind some people who complain about the Democrats not doing anything. It is actually amazing the number of things they have been able to accomplish, despite the fact that the Republicans have opposed (and often filibustered) pretty much all major Democratic initiatives.
[reprinted from The Writer’s Almanac] It was on this day 98 years ago that the word “grassroots” made its debut as a political term. On this day in 1912, Senator Albert Jeremiah Beveridge of Indiana was on stage at the Progressive Party Convention when he proclaimed: This party has come from the grass roots. It […]
“A federal judge overturned Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in California, which came as great news for both gays and wedding planners. Although that might be redundant.” – Jimmy Kimmel “A California judge has overruled California’s ban on gay marriage. Finally gay men can marry someone other than Liza Minelli. … Wedding planners can […]
Two years ago I posted an article about the McCain campaign paying people to down-vote web articles they didn’t like. Including mine. Well, it looks like it has gotten a lot worse since then. A well-researched posting on AlterNet shows exactly how conservatives groups are deliberately spam-voting against articles they don’t like, or people they […]
