We Scam Gold
The problem with selling the apocalypse is that when it never happens, the sham is over. Such is the case of Goldline International, a company that has for the past few years stoked the fears of economic catastrophe in order to sell massive amounts of gold to everybody and their mothers. With a marketing strategy of [...]
Get A Job
Associated Press (10/16/2011): Sandra Fox, 69, of Baton Rouge, La., stood, confused, on 46th Street with a ticket for “Anything Goes” in her hand as riot police pushed a knot of about 200 shouting protesters toward her. “I think it’s horrible what they’re doing,” she said of the protesters. “These people need to go get [...]
Mitt Romney Wins The Lottery
Seems like Mitt Romney has Hurricane Irene to thank for saving face. It was only a week ago that Romney decided to take a swipe at President Obama for vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard, even though he himself had a $2,500-a-plate fundraiser scheduled on Martha’s Vineyard this coming weekend. Romney, speaking of Obama, remarkably said: [...]
The Glenn Beck Rally: Hype Versus Reality
CNN had this headline Saturday morning, before Glenn Beck’s thoroughly misguided rally at the Lincoln Memorial: “Glenn Beck rally plans cause a stir“. Nobody was saying afterward that the rally itself had caused much of a stir. This, incidentally, was the modest prediction made by the rally’s low-key (and entirely sane) architect-in-chief: What’s going to [...]
Daughter’s Soccer Game, My Foot!!
The press seems to have their panties in a twist about President Obama sneaking out of the White House on Saturday morning without them in tow, to watch one of his daughters play in a soccer game. Apparently, he is simply not allowed to behave like this. The relationship between the President and the White [...]
Gorilla Warfare?
In the tribe of conservative-performing-monkeys, they are both super-gorillas. And now it looks like they may be squaring off against each other. Palin offered Beck nothing but love and respect: In recent days, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has indicated that she may be open to a conservative presidential dream ticket in 2012: Palin-Beck (or [...]
The Jump-Down Turn-Around Un-concession Blues
Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate in the special congressional election in New York’s 23rd district, obviously decided a few days ago that he hadn’t yet made a complete fool of himself. So he seems to have started taking the necessary steps to do so. Make a complete fool of himself, that is. On election [...]
Just Saying…
Funny how, in the context of the Republican party, the word “conservative” has come to mean unhinged extremists. The poster children for conservatism are now Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Michele Bachmann and Dick Armey.

Time Magazine’s Survival Strategy?
Time hit a new low in its cover story on Glenn Beck. The opening paragraph describes the 9/12 rally fathered by Glenn Beck as follows: If you get your information from liberal sources, the crowd numbered about 70,000, many of them greedy racists. If you get your information from conservative sources, the crowd was hundreds [...]
Race To The Bottom
Remember when the unofficial leader of the Republican party used to be Rush Limbaugh? Now the DNC, perhaps with malice aforethought, seems to have passed the mantle to Glenn Beck. Here’s a press release the DNC came up with: With apologies to Tom DeLay, and despite the railing you’re hearing from the Republican cloakroom and [...]
