Are We Really This Fucking Ignorant?

Over the course of the past week it has been made very clear that we have a long way to go.  We might have improved our relations with other countries, by having an articulate, educated, diplomatic individual serving our country as President. However, we are still a bunch of crazy ass hillbillies pointing out them [...]

It’s a Conspiracy I tell you!!

I considered writing about the crazy lady who brought her birth certificate in a Ziploc bag to a town hall meeting in DE to demand answers about Barack Obama’s status as a native-born citizen, which was then by the crowd breaking out into the Pledge of Allegiance (because their minds are like those of ignorant [...]

Gidget, We Hardly Knew Ye

I have some bad news for you all.  Gidget, the beloved Taco Bell chihuahua, who looked sort of like a large rat to me, as so all chihuahuas, has passed away at the age of 15 from a stroke. Although we never heard her voice, we did hear a strange dude’s voice who spoke about [...]

Because I’m Charitable

So quite a few people I know seem to be swimming in the shit right now, I figured the least I could do was to share a little something that my partner-in-crime at work sent to me. If you happen to be one of those folks in the dumps, this should make you smile just [...]

The Ice Bitch Has Been Implicated

  Our favorite Alaskan Governor, with a Minnesotan accent that I have never been able to figure out, is back in the news… again.  For this round she’s been implicated in an ethics probe for accepting private donations in order to pay off her legal debts from prior ethics complaints against her.  It is believed that (future ex) [...]

Dreaming Big Did Pay Off

On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy gave a speech to the United States Congress in which he discussed the desire to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade.  Forty years ago today, Neil Armstrong made President Kennedy’s goal a reality. He also proved that the moon was not [...]

Fortieth Anniversary

The  fortieth anniversary for the Apollo Moon Landing isn’t until the 20th.  However, today does mark forty years since Chappaquiddick.   Ted Kennedy was known for being one who liked the bottle.  He also enjoyed the company of women other than those he was married to.  Some have said that both interests came into play [...]

Socialized Medicine is Evil

I’m tired of hearing Republicans and conservative commentators crap on socialized medicine.  Apparently so is Jon Stewart.      Of course, to see just how horrible the idea of socialized medicine is, watch Sam Bee (Canada) and John Oliver (UK) fight over who’s country has worse socialized medicine.  Yep, socialized medicine seems really evil to [...]

Sotomayor So Far

So far I think that Sonia Sotomayor is doing pretty well from what I have read about the Confirmation Hearings. I wish I had the time to take off and to try and get a seat to witness it for myself. However, I’m a working stiff would like to get the fuck out of dodge [...]

Someone Did a Study For Something I Already Knew

For any of us who share our homes with cats, we know who is in charge, and it’s not the humans. From the moment my boys entered my life just over six years ago, they have both ran things. I wake up practically every morning with one of my boys standing on me. Meanwhile, the [...]

Now it’s Sotomayor’s Turn

The confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor are about to start and both sides of the aisle are already starting to make their feelings known about her. In the end, it’s the majority vote that will seal the deal for Sotomayor.  Today, she will have to sit through statements made by all 19 [...]

Sen. Burris is a Quitter

Sen. Roland Burris announced today that he will not seek reelection in 2010 due to fundraising concerns. However, he is going to remain office until his term ends.  According to Sarah Palin, that makes him a quitter. If you’ll recall, she stated that if she were to remain in her position as Governor after deciding [...]

Jackass Moment of the Week

Apparently Kilmeade slept through science class. Jackass.

News to Sarah Palin: Look Up “Resign” in the Dictionary!!!

According to Sarah Palin, her resignation is not quitting. Nope it’s a way for her state to progress. Um… correct me if I’m wrong on this, but let’s say you run for office and win. You then find yourself in that elected position for a certain amount of time, like… um…. four years. Now, let’s [...]

The Last Word

Let this be the last word about Michael Jackson from someone who knew him a hell of a lot better than any of his critics:
