According to Newsweek magazine, the McCains failed to pay property taxes on a condo they own in La Jolla, California for four years. Notified of this by Newsweek, the McCains paid (yesterday) for the last four years, but are still late in their payments for this year. UPDATE: The location of the condo in question […]
The McCain campaign (and much of the mainstream media) keeps trying to keep alive the myth of McCain the Maverick, but it is clearly on life support, and getting a bit crazy. In a conference call today, a McCain spokeswoman tried to compare McCain’s bipartisan cred with Obama’s, using the example of immigration reform: It’s […]
I’m not totally sure this isn’t a hoax, but there is a website out there encouraging people to vote for George W. Bush in 2008. How? By writing in his name. What about term limits? Why those pesky things are man’s law, not god’s. The God who parted the Red Sea is surely not worried about so-called […]
Consider the newly passed GI benefits bill. When it was introduced, McCain tried to kill it. When the NY Times questioned McCain’s opposition to the bill, he “got a little touchy“. When the bill came up for a vote Thursday night, McCain didn’t even show up to vote. So, is anyone surprised when McCain tries […]
“The Supreme Court has ruled that individuals have the right to carry guns … When the decision was read, it created pandemonium in the court. Justice Scalia had to fire two warning shots to settle people down. And then at the White House, just for fun, Dick Cheney went out on the lawn and peppered a buddy with some […]
The Republicans just reintroduced an amendment to the US Constitution that prohibits gay marriage. This amendment has no chance of passage — the main purpose of reintroducing it is to stir up the conservative base for the upcoming elections.

Authors Golan and Origen have created a parody of the popular children’s book “Goodnight Moon” called “Goodnight Bush”: On their website you can even look inside the book.
The west coast is definitely not a good place to be a Republican right now. First, Oregon Republican Senator Gordon Smith ran a TV ad trying to attach himself Obama’s coattails. Then California’s Governator made comments distancing himself from Republican proposals. Now this — Fox News reports several Republican candidates in the state of Washington are taking advantage […]
Who says that CSPAN isn’t the new comedy channel? During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Steve Cohen tried to get Cheney’s chief of staff to clarify to which branch of the government the Vice President belongs: http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/06/quote_of_the_day_vice_presiden.php
On a McCain campaign conference call Thursday morning, Republican Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas accused Obama of being all talk and no action when it comes to working across the aisle: John McCain’s a maverick. He’s fought for a bipartisan fashion. I think that the biggest thing I’ve seen from Barack Obama is a willingness, […]
Conservative radio talk-show host Hugh Hewitt got a wee bit carried away on his Wednesday show: I’m still trying to find two tickets to the Ohio State-USC game. And none of the USC people will give up their tickets to me. I’d pay fair price. They — they know Ohio State’s gonna slaughter the Trojans. […]
