Here is something about the media: Reality TV star Sarah Palin feels they are not working hard enough. She will not be the kind of “conventional politician” who gives out schedules and press availabilities and makes everything so easy on lazy reporters with deadlines. No, she will be like Carmen Sandiego and everyone will be [...]

Why does Horrible Person Barack Obama not know that it is totally inappropriate to relax and play golf on Memorial Day? It’s like he’s peeing on the bodies of dead soldiers. Crabby Brit commentator Nile Gardiner can’t understand why Obama’s Chief of Staff refused to put a stop to this horror: Does it matter if [...]

Hooray, Congressman Anthony Weiner isn’t going to do the usual liberal/Democrat thing of just sitting there and taking whatever criminal bullshit the fringe-right dishes up, and he has hired an attorney to pursue the hacker who hacked into Weiner’s Twitter/yfrog account and posted a pornographic image.

Our Michelle spent last week drinking her way around the world, or more specifically, in Europe. She went there to hang out with that Kate lady and wear different outfits so that the Internet could vote about who was fancier. (The correct answer is that FLOTUS is always fancier. Always.) But even when our FLOTUS [...]

Robert Kennedy Jr. will attest that Ken Blackwell is the literal reincarnation of Beelzebub, who rode a steaming sleigh of entrails from the bowels of Hell to Ohio in order to help George W. Bush steal the election of 2004. This makes him a perfect candidate to run the Republican ...
