So the Nobel Peace Laureate is going to escalate further the already-longest war in US history, right there in the Graveyard of Empires.  Okay.
What the fuck?  What do we do?  I honestly don’t know how the elected Democrats should stick a more jagged shiv in their base’s back.  I vaguely remember promises of hope and [...]

It is entirely possible, in 2009, to be a very nice person and at the same time to hate or fear gay people.  I get it; we’re scary and weird and all that.  If you grew up with a certain code of beliefs and never met any faggots until they became ubiquitous on the Teevee [...]

There is an enduring fantasy among the Tom Friedman set (overpaid gasbag pundits &c for whom politics is mostly a delightful game and no legislative action short of progressive taxation could possibly have negative consequences on their livelihoods) that the bulk of American voters stand between the ideologies of the two parties.
Unrepresented by anybody, this [...]

It’s one of only six states I’ve never been to, and it’s the new capital of crazy.  As the South comes unhinged from the rest of the country, SC is in the vanguard.
This is so bizarre I don’t know what to say.  You have to be so deliberately unworldly, so absolutely convinced that all of [...]

So that was an embarrassing flap for Investor’s Business Daily a few weeks ago, blah blah blah you heard it here last.  But now that it’s blown through town and left, I can’t believe nobody pointed out that a major problem with it is how apparently, it’s okay to assume that everybody amazing and important [...]

Via Joemygod, Maggie Gallagher (the obese homophobe with face-smushing hair no producer should permit on television or in public) sort of got her main thesis zapped by, of all people, Lou Dobbs.  He asked her how, exactly, does the existence of gay marriage harm a straight couple’s union?  She couldn’t come up with an answer, [...]

Via Joe.My.God., the Free Republic has courageously called for the dissolution of the legislative and executive branches of government, which essentially means the end of the United States as a nation.  Visually, it lacks the punch of calligraphy on a scroll, more closely resembling an Angelfire webring site from 1997.  But I’m sure deep down [...]

Let’s just see how far conservatives have fallen in their ability to kick the shit out of liberals and Democrats.  In 2004, nothing tore through that overcautious cipher John Kerry like the “I actually voted for the war before I was against it” meme.  That, and the associated “flip-flopper” attack made it clear who was [...]

Peter King: the last Republican congressman from Lawn Guyland (and one of only 3 in all of New York!)
First of all, this is a man who loves terrorists.  He is a strong supporter of terrorism, as long as it is practiced by white people who speak with charming brogues.  (If you are from Long Island, [...]
