Depends on What the Definition of Work Is
In his speech to the Urban League last week, the President said: Ours is a solid record of accomplishment. And that’s why I’ve come to talk about compassionate conservatism and what I envision for the future. I’m here for another reason. I’m here to ask for your vote. (Applause. {Ed. note: sounded more like hooting [...]

Bill O’Reilly Admits: Fox News “Tilts Right”
Newsflash���Fox News isn’t really fair and balanced! To many people, this is less than shocking; as far as information goes, it ranks right up there with “puppies are cute” or “the sky is blue”. But when this kind of admission comes straight from the mouth of a Fox News personality like Bill “Factor This” O’Reilly, [...]
Who Knew?
It’s official. Gray Davis was a better governor. By now, most people have heard about Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s “girlie man” comments at a mall food court last weekend. The criticism was fast and furious from gay groups, women’s groups and Democratic state legislators. While they succeeded in calling attention to the clown in the governor’s office, [...]
Pay For Your Own Convention
Since the Republican National Committee announced last year that they would be holding their election year convention in the Democratic stronghold of New York City, howls of protest have been heard accusing the RNC of capitalizing on the anniversary of 9-11 for political gains. The Republicans have tried to deflect the criticism, but never quite [...]
George W. Bush: STFU!
A lot of people have been waiting for this for a long time, so enjoy it fuckers. A month ago, I wrote about private conversations the President was having with aides about changing his image from the war President to the peace President. It was absurd then, but nothing much came of it. Until now. [...]
Apple Polishing
As many of you already know, the crew manning the keyboards at the 1115.org secret command bunker rely heavily on products made by Apple Computer. We’ve already spilleda good amount of virtual ink disussing Apple’s products and iTunes Music Store, but several recent developments in Mac-land are worthy of discussion. 1. New iPods: With Steve [...]
Free Speech Zones?
At some point when I wasn’t paying attention (probably around the time of the megaphone incident at Ground Zero) the President (and by extension, his whole administration) somehow got a reputation for being tough guys, manly men and manly women. As I prepare for my trip to New York City to observe the Republican National [...]
Choose Your Own Diversion
I think we can all agree that the Bush Administration/Campaign simply will not allow the Democratic National Convention to dominate media coverage for four whole days next week. The New Republic reports that: …according to [an] ISI official, a White House aide told ul-Haq last spring that “it would be best if the arrest or [...]
The Government and The Media Conspire to Make Us Irrelevant
This story should have been accompanied by its own drum roll. From CNN.com: WASHINGTON — The final report from the 9/11 commission will recommend creating a Cabinet-level post to oversee intelligence responsibilities that are spread across the government, according to a source familiar with the document. I thought we had that already. Note to 9-11 [...]
