McCain’s website now features a “cool” “new” video game called Pork Invaders (you can play it, below). Unfortunately, as Wonkette says, the game looks older than John himself. And the game was clearly “borrowed” from somewhere else, and somewhat sloppily — all the aliens use the same pig image, even though they have different point […]
A group calling themselves the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is trying to get an initiative on the November ballot to name a local sewage plant after President G. W. Bush. They call it “an appropriate honor for a truly unique president,” but please don’t ask me what kind of cheek in which they […]
In what is simultaneously the height of irony and hypocrisy, Karl Rove is attacking the NY Times for an article in which it named a CIA agent who was involved in the interrogation of terrorist Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. Recall that Karl Rove played a central role in the outing of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame […]
Bush says the surge in Iraq is working. McCain says the surge is working. The media parrots these sound bites. But a report released by the General Accounting Office says otherwise. What a concept: someone actually took the goals the Bush administration laid out in January 2007 for the “surge”, and one-by-one analyzed them to see if […]
Mike Erickson is a Republican running for congress in Oregon. He has sent out campaign materials stressing his pro-life beliefs. Except that in 2001, when a woman he was dating got pregnant, he gave her $300 and drove her to an abortion clinic, dumping her there. It is especially delicious when the hypocrisy of a […]
“John McCain and Barack Obama are bickering, and you know what they’re bickering about? What to do when they catch Osama bin Laden. That’s right. Obama wants to bring him to trial, but John McCain wants to shoot him. Both really good ideas. And I said to myself, guys, guys, how about somebody finding him first? Let’s do […]
It seems that all that Karl Rove has left are childish personal slurs. At a breakfast with Republican insiders yesterday, he described Barack Obama as: Even if you never met him, you know this guy. He’s the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the […]
The twin cities of Minneapolis / St. Paul are hosting the Republican National Convention this summer, but they are having a big problem. They can’t find enough volunteers to work at the convention. In response, they are putting out the word that party affiliation is not important. “This is not about being partisan; it’s about […]
Two weeks ago we reported on the strange goings on in New York concerning the congressional seat formerly held by Vito Fossella (which incidentally is the only New York City congressional seat held by a Republican). Things were pretty strange then, but they just got even stranger. If I were a tele-evangelist, I’d claim that […]
McCain gave a speech last week in Houston to an audience of oil executives, announcing he now supports offshore oil drilling. To justify his flip-flop, he claimed that drilling is now so safe that “not even Hurricane Katrina and Rita could cause significant spillage from battered rigs off the coast of New Orleans and Houston.” […]
