“Obock Obama”
Wearing a matching sweater vest, Foster Friess, the billionaire investor backing Rick “Man on Dog” Santorum’s frothy campaign to be Theocrat-in-Chief of the Free World, introduces his pet candidate at…
The Real Opposition
Although the Liberals may have been reduced to third-party status in parliament after the last election, there’s little doubt that, largely thanks to the feisty leadership of Bob Rae, they…
Batshit Crazy Festival 2012: aka CPAC
Only in America could there be such an event as the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) – an annual gathering in Washington where nearly 10,000 angry white men and fiercely…
Santorumentum!
Def: The frothy mix of media hype and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of non-binding Republican primary victories. How sad is it that a moronic theocrat like Rick…
Dickens @ 200
Nifty little animated biography of Charles Dickens, the brilliant Victorian novelist who would have been 200 years old today, had he not died 142 years previously. Though not his greatest…
Halftime in America
It seems Wingnuttia is in a furious tizzy over Chrysler’s Super Bowl ad: Former Bush “brain” Karl Rove, now a Fox “News” contributor resembling a large ham with glasses, paragon…

Blood Money
The SuperPAC supporting (but definitely not co-ordinating with!) Newt Gringrich yesterday released another negative “documentary” attacking Mitt Romney. Called “Blood Money” the film links the former head of Bain Capital…
Harper’s Pension Bomb
Hey, wasn’t it fun learning the other day from a speech Stephen Harper delivered at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland that unspecified “major transformations” are coming to our…
Damn the Paulbots!
As much as I agree with many of Ron Paul’s principled stances on various issues, I just cannot stand the cult of over-zealous fanatics that support him… Despite all evidence,…
Proud to be Grandiose
Neat little mock ad from the folks at BuzzFeed pivoting off the accusation that Newt Gringrich is “grandiose”… It’s actually not surprising in the least that Newt would so readily…
To the Moon, Alice!
It’s beyond absurd that alleged “small government” Republicans are adamantly opposed to “wasting” taxpayer dollars on doing much of anything that would repair the basic elements of America’s crumbling infrastructure…
Are You a Climate Change “Denier”?
Did you know that according to some folks, if you accept the scientific premise of climate change but happen to disagree with the fatuous and practically ineffective approaches to mitigating…
Mitt’s SOTU Rebuttal
Inveterate flip-flopper and political windsock Mitt Romney criticizes Obama for his “extraordinary… detachment from reality” in terms of his words and actions; all the while being completely oblivious to his…
State of the Union
Usually the SOTU is a complete snore full of empty rhetoric, lofty sentiments and flowery prose, but I have to admit that the one President Obama delivered tonight was relatively…

Jacob Burris, campaign manager for Arkansas Democratic congressional candidate Ken Aden, came home Sunday night to find his family cat dead on the front porch with the word “LIBERAL” written…
