This will hopefully be the last posting where I have to struggle with the spelling of Blago. Apparently in a, not-so-surprising vote, the Ill. Senate voted to remove Blagojevich. Let me tell you, it was a nail-biting vote of 59-0. Perhaps, and this is just a thought, he should have considered spending his energy talking [...]

By now you have probably heard about the octuplets born in California. The mother has decided to remain anonymous. Rumor has it that she and her husband live with their parents and already have quite a few children to start with. Now, I haven’t found any articles to confirm this. However, if it is true, [...]

That’s the amount of Facebook friends that Sarah Palin has. Do you know how many friends I have on Facebook? None. I don’t have a Facebook entry. However, I also haven’t started up my own Political Action Committee (PAC) either. Sarah Palin has her brand new PAC (SarahPAC) registered in Virginia. In case you’re wondering, [...]

I came across a picture on Yahoo of a Bush Urinal and did a bit of research to find out the story behind the pic. A sculptor, by the name of Clark Sorensen created sculptures tied to George Bush for new art exhibit in San Fransico entitled: “DOWN THE DRAIN” -THE LEGACY OF GEORGE W. [...]

Instead of the First Family gathering around the Monopoly board after their first dinner at the White House, President Obama was seen hanging out with someone that I would never expect: Chief Justice John Roberts. The two men are on opposite ends of the political spectrum. In fact, President Obama voted against Chief Justice Robert [...]

So, I’ve read and heard comments from people who could not see what the big deal was in President Obama’s inauguration. I had even read comments on some blogs about how we “shouldn’t even be calling him the first African-American President because he’s bi-racial.” Guess what folks… I have Italian ancestry, and I have ancestry from [...]

Okay, now I waited until noon and was sure to watch the swearing in… THANK GOD THE EIGHT YEAR CLUSTERFUCK IS OVER!!!! I can almost forgive Bush having four years, but seriously, was Kerry so bad that we had to endure four more years of the jackass and his puppet-master friend? Oh, by the way, [...]

…and one of the worst Presidents in the history of our nation will move on to a whole other country… I feel bad for you folks in Texas. I have heard in recent days that Mr. Bush has compared himself with the likes of Abraham Lincoln. Apparently he has a very distorted image of himself. Eight [...]

I had heard on the Stephanie Miller Show today about a Kotex commercial in the UK that had some people complaining. The commercial features a woman and her beaver friend… doing things… I’m not explaining it beyond that. Anyway, the premise of the commercial sounded so funny that I, of course, looked for it and [...]

As I was going through my regular reading of the news, I came upon an article that discussed the illiteracy problem in America. It is estimated that approximately 1 in 7 American adults are illiterate. That means we have a higher portion of the population who can’t read than we do of a gay population. It’s [...]

She might be smiling on the outside, but don’t be fooled. Illinois isn’t the only state where a government official is having issues. The mayor of Baltimore, MD, Sheila Dixon is in a bit of hot water herself. Earlier today she was indicted on 12 counts, to include, “four counts of perjury and two counts [...]

Amazing as it might seem, I not only read up on political news, but I even check out the religion section as well. Typically, I just skim it. However, I did find myself intrigued when I ran into this article about how a church official in Indiana stole money from church accounts that went to all sorts [...]

I’m not sure if I’ve made it known or not, but I am not a fan of Anne Coulter. Her creepy little Adam’s apple isn’t enough to distract me from the ignorant crap that spills out of her mouth every time she opens it. Due to an injury, she had her jaw wired shut [...]

I thought the Presidential race of ’00 took forever! Not anymore after seeing it take just over two months after the election for a Minnesota board to certify Al Franken as the winner. Coleman’s lawyer will of course try to his best to keep Franken away from entering the Senate. However, what’s done [...]

Nothing in this world is perfect and that holds true for Obama’s proposed Cabinet. Earlier today, Bill Richardson, who Barack Obama had selected for the position of commerce secretary, stepped down due to a grand jury investigation. Apparently the investigation is in relation to how some of Gov. Richardson’s donors had won a state contract. He [...]
