Is it just me, or has the extreme end of the right wing jumped off the edge of reason and landed gleefully into a pit of pure batshit insane? Between Glenn Beck’s bursting into tears at the very mention of America and Michelle Bachman’s deliberate misinterpretation of a new community service program as a sort [...]

“To vote in protest for McCain/Palin would be like saying, ‘Somebody stole my shoes, so I’ll amputate my legs.’” –Gloria Steinem The whole article can be found here.

So, that picture of Sarah Palin in a bikini and carrying a gun? Yeah, not so much. Don’t get me wrong. Much as I despise Sarah Palin’s positions on most issues and insane as I think the McCain campaign is for selecting her as a VP candidate without bothering to vet her at all (I [...]

“I beg to disagree with any candidate who would say we can’t drill our way out of our problem…” -Sarah Palin The more I learn about this woman, the more frightened I become. And the more I would want to slap McCain around and ask, “What in the world were you thinking?”, if I seriously [...]

So, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is apparently going to be McCain’s running mate. An interesting choice.

Michelle Obama’s speech was, I’m told, nothing short of awe-inspiring, and Hilary Clinton’s motion to nominate Barack for President was apparently on the same level. I also missed Bill Clinton’s speech, which is kind of [...]

California Tradition In order to bring a fresh take on the traditional Overdue Budget Party that California throws for several months, Governor Schwarzenegger last week signed an executive order recommending that the state cut pay for all state workers down to the Federal minimum wage, and lay off thousands of part-time and temporary employees. One [...]

I’ve never been a big fan of Rachael Ray. I don’t dislike her, but I don’t go out of my way to follow her on any of her shows or read her books or anything like that. Like Al Roker, she’s just one of the thousands of celebrities in the world that don’t arouse any [...]

I do think that even though there’s some equivocation and disingenuousness going on in this video (voting to extend tax cuts is not the same as voting against the tax cuts in the first place) there’s enough material here to remind us that McCain’s so-called "straight talk" is really anything but. Thanks to filkmaster Tom [...]
