Hey Dennis, You’re in the Club!
A lot of you have already heard about Talking Presidents, the creators of collectable “action figures” such as Talking George W. Bush, Talking Rummy and the amazingly Barbie-esque Talking Ann Coulter. While there is a Talking Bill Clinton doll to add some Fox-style “balance” to the Talking Presidents lineup, one look at the description should [...]
Compare & Contrast
A couple of examples of the shifting playing field in the whole same-sex marriage debate: 1. Dick Cheney, during a 2000 Vice-Presidential debate, when asked “Should a male who loves a male and a female who loves a female have all the constitutional rights enjoyed by every American citizen?”: “People should be free to enter [...]
Deliver Me from Evil
In his review of The Passion of the Christ, rotund veteran movie critic Roger Ebert said: The movie is 126 minutes long, and I would guess that at least 100 of those minutes, maybe more, are concerned specifically and graphically with the details of the torture and death of Jesus. This is the most violent [...]

It’s safe to say that Gibson, a mediocre Australian film actor best known for his roles in the Mad Max and Lethal Weapon [...]
…From the Desk of the Juvenile humor Department
Yes, the illuminated signs were playing hell with my camera’s auto-focus…but this is too good to pass up. The best stupid puns are the ones that were likely never intended in the first place. (besides, I hear that they are on the short list of a future Peabs California campaign stop, assuming that he can [...]
Department of Burger Assembly
We’ve been watching with the default combination of mild amusement and total outrage as the administration talks of reclassifying fast food jobs as manufacturing jobs. Click the image to the left to see a letter from Michigan Representative John Dingell to one of the administration’s “top” economic advisors, Gregory Mankiw. Congratulations to Mr. Dingell. This [...]
Rod Paige: STFU!
We’ve written about incompetent hack and U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige in the past. The driving force behind the “No Child Left Behind” charade, continues to make an ass out of himself. Recently he used the word “emancipation” to describe Washington D.C.’s school voucher system. Now the word “emancipation” isn’t strictly limited to conversations [...]
