Bush’s Last And Final Press Conference (Thank God!)
Eight years of presidential press conferences, and this clown still hasn’t learned how to get through one without embarrassing himself over and over again. Since this is apparently (see, I don’t trust him about anything at all) the last time I get to poke fun at a Bush presidential press conference, I’m going to go [...]
Yesterday’s Madoff Bail Ruling
Makes no damn sense to me. No damn sense at all. After confessing to his $50 billion Ponzi scheme scam, Bernie Madoff was released on $10 million bail, secured by various family homes held in his wife’s name. Apparently, the court felt that when a man has embezzled $50 billion from investors, and nobody knows [...]
Everyone Wants To Be In a Cam’ron Video
Everyone who’s a Republican anyway: Former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, a leading candidate for the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee (RNC), is coming under fire Monday for making remarks this summer that gays and lesbians suffer from a “compulsion” that can be “restrained.” “You can choose to restrain that compulsion,” Blackwell told [...]
Yanking Our Chain
I don’t think Israeli prime ministers are supposed to publicly brag about yanking our chain in so many words. One of these days it might cause us to discover we have some national self-respect. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was left shame-faced after President George W. Bush ordered her to abstain in a key [...]
Hucka-Nullus
Apologies for soiling this page with Coulter’s ghoulish visage, but how can I be expected to pass up a video containing once and future Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee more or less saying “no homo”: Bookmark on DeliciousDigg this postShare on Facebookshare via RedditShare with StumblersTweet about itBookmark in BrowserTell a friend
IOKIYAR With A Vengeance
When economists were pretty unanimously agreed that running huge deficits was a seriously misguided economic policy, Republican lawmakers went “Up yours!”, and cheerfully embraced huge deficits anyway. Now, when economists are pretty unanimously agreed that running huge deficits is necessary to rescue the economy from the deep and devastating recession that eight years of Republicanomics [...]
Another Wild Exaggeration From ThinkProgress
ThinkProgress yesterday trumpeted a sensational headline: Bush: I Personally Authorized Torture Of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed That would probably be a major story if it were true. The reason why no one else is trumpeting it (except for a few misguided souls who haven’t yet learned that with ThinkProgress these days you have to be careful [...]
Stuff White People Do
I know it’s hard to believe, but I have some friends who have led somewhat sheltered, suburban lives, free from the corrupting influence of hip hop. And every once in a while I’ll get an email or breathless phone call, one of them having just discovered Gang Starr or Eric B and Rakim. The latest [...]
Shhheeeeeeeeeiiit
Baltimore Mayor Charged: Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon (D) was charged “with 12 counts of felony theft, perjury, fraud and misconduct in office, becoming the city’s first sitting mayor to be criminally indicted,” the Baltimore Sun reports.

The Great And Glorious George W. Bush
Fred Barnes, editor of the Weekly Standard, sat himself down and, after smoking (or shooting) whatever he needs to smoke (or shoot) before he can write the tripe he writes for a living, he produced a list of the ten great achievements of George Bush’s eight years in the White House. Here they are, in [...]
