If you caught Real Time with Bill Maher last week and resisted the urge to throw your television out the window whenever Kellyanne “The Poor Man’s Ann Coulter” Conway opened her ignorant mouth, you also witnessed Chris Rock’s unfunny one-track gas price rantings. Of course everyone is fed up with spending $100 to fill […]
Just in case you thought a few weeks mellowed me:
This past weekend I met a detective with 27 years on the NYC police force. He has been moved to the homeland security unit. He
acknowledged that the searches were illegal and expects the NYCLU to win their court case. He figures they’re “doin’ […]

“How many members of the Bush administration does it take to change a light bulb? Ten.
1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed
2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed
3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb

Robert Novak is either senile or a fucking liar. In a column lamenting the political castration of South Dakota Republican Senator John Thune, Novak comes off the rails:
North Dakota’s Kent Conrad and Byron Dorgan, two of the most partisan Democrats in the Senate…

General Wesley Clark spoke about Darfur on NPR Monday:
The truth is, civilians are still targeted in Darfur. The pro-government […]
Aruba’s government learns an important lesson:
“CNN used to be held in high regard. Today we don’t even consider them respectable media,” said Aruba’s government spokesman, Ruben Trapenburg.
Welcome to the party Aruba!
Media Matters continues the filthy work of keeping tabs on Rush Limbaugh:
LIMBAUGH: If it were up to you people, we wouldn’t exist as a country today. You would have given in to the Soviets long ago, you would have appeased the Soviet communists. You would appease Iran right now. You probably wouldn’t have cared about […]
When we last heard from Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, he was weathering a storm of criticism from his (former) friends in the religious right about his support for stem cell research. With people like James Dobson searching for every microphone in a five mile radius to wail about Frist’s “betrayal“, obviously the scales would […]
While no one in the Bush Administration is going to come out and directly say that Dick Cheney’s recent speech was a response to Cindy Sheehan, it’s hard not to think that there’s a common thread.
