Obama: I’m Clearly Not Black, And Don’t You DARE Portray Me That Way
WTF? What’s going on in Barack Obama‘s head? Has he totally lost it or what? He came out with the most bizarre statement at a campaign appearance in New Hampshire yesterday: Another question came from a woman more concerned with Obama’s fate in the general election if he is nominated. She asked how he would [...]
U.S. Breaks Radio Silence On Maher Arar
And guess what? The world didn’t come to an end. The terrorists didn’t win. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice acknowledged on Wednesday that the United States mishandled the case of a Canadian engineer seized by U.S. officials and taken to Syria, where he and the Canadian government say he was tortured. Rice, speaking at a [...]
Dana Perino: The Veil Slips Off
It has frequently worried me, and even occasionally interfered with my normal tendency to sleep like a baby: Who’s the Monica Goodling who’s really running things in the Bush White House? I guess it’s funny that, now that I know, I’m still worried about who it is (and still losing sleep over it). Because it [...]
Quantity Discounts In The Free Market? How Capital!
(1) I bet you didn’t realize that there’s a quantity discount on Iraqi civilians. Yes, they seem to be cheaper by the dozen. I’m not sure if the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad has a rate chart printed up and circulated to security contractors yet. But here’s what we know already. If you kill one solitary [...]
George Bush (P.B.U.H.)
There is one true God (Democracy) and GeorgeBush is his prophet. Or as the NYT put it: President Bush is planning to issue a stern warning Wednesday that the United States will not accept a political transition in Cuba in which power changes from one Castro brother to another, rather than to the Cuban people. [...]
Golden Chance For A Classic End-Run
Four months ago, the Senate Judiciary Committee, as it is wont to do, asked the White House for some documents. True to its own self, the White House has managed to non-deliver them all this time, despite the fact that the committee’s request was couched in the form of a subpoena. As students of the [...]
His Serenely Untroubled Highness
George Bush supports employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Tomorrow, the House is expected to vote on the Employment Non- Discrimination Act (ENDA). The bill, introduced by Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), would make it illegal to fire, refuse to hire, or fail to promote employees simply based on sexual orientation. [...] But today [...]

1115.org by Email
So we’ve been around for a while and let our filthy librul potty mouths go at times, and as a result have been added to corporate and developing nation-type filters, Shannyn Sossamon-style. This used to bother me because sometimes there is simply no substitute for a well-placed f-bomb, even when it might cost us readers. [...]
Ne’er The Twain Shall Meet
Where is Barbara Bush? Why isn’t she over at Qualcomm Stadium, consoling all these rich white folk who lost their homes to the fire, telling them how things have worked out very nicely for them, especially in view of the current housing market, how they would never have been able to sell their homes in [...]
