Obama wins a second term! Consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren goes to the senate! People’s champion Alan Grayson returns to congress! Todd “Legitimate Rape” Akin and Murdoch “Rape is God’s Plan” lost! [Yay women of America!] Gay Marriage was popular voted-in (for the first time ever) in Maryland and Maine! Wisconsin elected the first openly gay…

After what seems like an endless campaign, the presidential election is finally here. [Presidents are usually given 100 days of compromise, Obama was given about a hundred hours before Romney started campaigning against him.] And I’ve written many, many times about that in the past year and a half (if Romney loses I’ll be thrilled…

9 p.m (Eastern)…The opening 9:02 p.m. …The candidates take the stage, lots of applause. 9:05 p.m. …Libya is the opening question, oh God…Give me a fucking break with this non-issue already. 9:06 p.m. …Romney starts off talking about Libya, enjoy it Mitt, cause I feel like this is your only strong suit tonight in this…

I haven’t seen a beating that lopsided since Rodney King. Biden absolutely demolished Paul Ryan, no question, period. Quick points… 9:05 p.m.: Paul Ryan barely looks ready for puberty, let alone the White House…maybe if his voice stops cracking, he can come back in a few decades. 9:12 p.m. : If you took a shot…

The biggest idea behind all Republican campaigns this season (from Romney to “Legitimate Rape” Akin) seems to be that government is awful and we need to kill it. But how, exactly, did the somewhat-abstract notion of “government” become about as appealing as bed bugs? At least, to the Republican Party, Libertarians, and a large number…

If there’s one thing that’s become painfully obvious about this race, it’s that people just don’t like Romney. I know, I know, “but you’re a Democrat! Of course you don’t like Romney!” Which may be technically true, but I’m actually pretty neutral on the man. He doesn’t seem like the devil incarnate (although I do think there…

I don’t care——at all——about the Republican National Convention. And it isn’t just because I’m a Democrat. It’s because… 5. Republicans Aren’t Showmen. Think about the last true Republican “Entertainer” that was out there, and you probably think of Ronald Reagan. Now think about the people you want to watch put on a show. Musicians? Democrats. Actors? Democrats….

Ok, okay, so I’m an Obama man through and through and there wasn’t going to be a Romney VP pick that could change that but the problem with Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan is that he’s not going to win over anyone’s vote that wasn’t already going to vote for Romney anyway. I’m not judging him based…

For those that aren’t familiar with what the title of this article refers to let me recap: Earlier in the week, Minnesota Congresswoman and village idiot Michelle Bachmann said that she had evidence that congress had been infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood. [Perhaps she’s seen the Showtime series “Homeland” and thinks it’s real.] Then, fellow…

Reporters everywhere were tricked today into thinking that Mitt Romney was actually considering Condoleezza Rice as his running mate. That’s right, I say “tricked” because there’s no way in hell he’ll pick “Condi” and he knows it, but he wants us to think she’s being considered. “But why?” gentle readers may ask. Well, for starters, she’s black….

Just a few minutes ago, the Supreme Court upheld the entirety of the Obama Health Care Law that congress already passed over two years ago. That’s right, they even upheld the dreaded individual mandate requiring people to buy health insurance (so the cost of the entire system will go down, and only affecting about 6…

A collection of all the “interesting” photos that I couldn’t fit anywhere else…   You might have heard Asians are bad drivers, well consider that stereotype absolute bullshit. I recorded a little chunk of time outside a typical street corner and was amazed at how pedestrians, bikes, scooters, cars, those weird vans that look like…
