Obama riding a tiger

June 19, 2009
I overheard some sort of TV news pundit (I think it was David Gregory) using the expression “Obama is riding a tiger,” meaning he’s in a precarious or risky situation. I’m not sure what the situation was that is so dangerous, but I’ll assume it has something to do with Iran. Regardless, I thought that [...]

Can you believe this bitch? Perez Hilton, one of the judges of the competition, asks her about same sex marriage rights, and this is her answer…Watch the videoAnd here’s Perez’s awesome response.

Finally, a decent Obama anthem!

February 21, 2009
I was beginning to get annoyed about the fact that there was no good Obama song emerging from the citizens of this country, famous or not. I was worried that the best we had to offer as a nation was Obama Girl and that crappy will.i.am song.I mean, Trey Parker and Matt Stone managed to [...]

Dick Cheney vs. Mr. Potter (the saga continues)

January 29, 2009
So it’s no secret that now-Former Vice President Dick Cheney made quite the entrance at last week’s inauguration, riding in on a sinister wheelchair quite unexpectedly. And if you recall, in late 2007 I pointed out some of the stunning similarities between Cheney and one Mr. Potter from the much-beloved Christmas classic “It’s a Wonderful [...]

Medals are for grown ups, tricks are for kids (and China)

August 15, 2008
I know I should be boycotting these dumb Olympics, but I’m a sucker for stuff like gymnastics since I used to do it (not well, but I did it). I also did synchronized swimming, with even less stellar results. But that’s beside the point. I think it’s a terrible injustice that these [...]

The Navy says they’ll “accelerate your life”…

July 31, 2008
The United States Navy’s slogan for the past five years or so has been “Accelerate your life.”Isn’t that kind of bitterly ironic?  Because that’s exactly what the military does.  Speed up your life.  To its prompt end.

Obama wins — Kucinich for VP!

June 4, 2008
Now that Barack Obama has all but secured the nomination blah blah blah, the only question that remains is, will he man up and pick someone who’s actually cool for his running mate?  I say Dennis Kucinich would be the perfect choice (except that it would make Obama a potential laughingstock).  Otherwise I don’t know…Al [...]

Mike Huckabee is officially on my shit list

January 18, 2008
Mike Huckabee is a slimy little prick, isn’t he? Take a look at these two recent quotes.First he discusses gay marriage and talks about how changing the legal definition of marriage would cause all sorts of chaos, and how we need to preserve the way things have been done historically.“Well, I don’t think that’s [...]

180,000 have signed Wexler’s petition in support of Kucinich’s bill to impeach Cheney — have you?

January 8, 2008
If you haven’t already heard, Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL) is in the process of gathering popular support for (my Presidential candidate of choice) Dennis Kucinich’s resolution to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney.  The resolution was referred to the House Judiciary Committee, but it is gaining support all the time, and it looks as if we [...]
