Bobby Jindal endorsed Rick Perry for the Presidency. I would pay a hundred bucks to watch these two as mismatched partners in a buddy cop movie. Congratulations to Miss Angola on becoming the new Miss Universe. It’s been so long since someone that’s not Asian, European, or Latin won the pageant, they probably think it’s…

Larger Editorial: The Great Lie Behind Libertarianism
So these days it seems like every loudmouth in the right wing is a self styled Libertarian. The most adamant debaters we’ve had on Red State Vs. Blue State were “Libertarians” which they insisted were vastly different than regular Republicans, even if they don’t disagree on anything except possibly the legalization of marijuana, and some…

Is there anyone out there who truly thinks “Bucky Larson: Porn Star” is going to be a good movie? Not a guilty pleasure but a truly GOOD movie? If so, let me have your name and address so I can get social services to take your kids away. The new Fall season should bring a…
Larger Editorial: Introducing The Clean Water Party
I’d like to introduce the creation of the first thing that I hope extends beyond the site: The Clean Water Party. I’ve already taken the liberty of creating a facebook page and Twitter feed (@cleanwaterparty) for it and strongly encourage readers to join. I came up with the idea for The Clean Water Party the…

The shape of things to come…2011: Yay, congratulations to the Libyan rebels and good luck on their new Democracy…2013: This Civil War between the Libyan rebels just gets worse and worse, Warlord A killed Warlord B today. Some stability sure would be good for U.S. oil prices…2015: New, U.S.-backed dictator, Omar Saadafi, takes control of…
Larger Editorial: How Obama Can Win a Second Term…If He Even Wants To
The president looks rough these days. Everyone from comedians like Seth Myers to the unintentionally hilarious Chris Matthews have remarked on just how bone-tired the man who had a quasi-cocky swagger only a few months ago has become. You can hear it in his voice, you can see it on his face, and you can…
Petty Issues: Republican Primary Edition
Rick Perry declared his candidacy for President…of the confederacy. Shouldn’t the president of the United States believe in the word “United?” “Instead of running for President, Tim Pawlenty should burn 2 million dollars and let 100 people punch him in the face. That would save him some time.”–Myself a few months back. Look’s like he…
Larger Editorial: Why Wisconsin is Really a Victory
So, the headline should read “Democrats lose, Republicans win,” as four of the six Republicans up for recall held on to their seats and Democrats need to win three to gain control of the state legislature. But I’m not sure I see it that way. Because… 1. The Fact There Even Was a Mass Recall:…

I keep hearing all this talk about how Ed Shultz should be kicked off MSNBC because he got his start on right wing radio. And? All of them are personalities that might not believe what they’re really saying to keep a job. Bill O’Reilly got his start on tabloid trash like Inside Edition, Keith Olbermann…
Larger Editorial: The Democrat’s Real Enemy Number 1 is Liberal Infighting
So the Mongol Horde, I mean, SS, I mean, Tea Party got everything they wanted this past week and saw the three branches of government bow to them in an unprecedented way for a group that is 1. Not a major political party, 2. Only been around 3 years (tough break Green Party!), 3. Not…

I leave for a week and Amy Winehouse up and dies on us. Why is it always someone talented that dies like her or Heath Ledger? Kim Kardashian will live forever and her biggest talent is breathing while being filmed. The debt ceiling was finally raised after a month of stagnant, tedious bickering. This is…
Larger Editorials: Why Don’t Republicans Want a Consumer Protection Bureau?
This week has seen so much hoopla over the fight to raise the debt ceiling (which shouldn’t even be a fight unless we want a financial Armageddon) that there’s been another economic issue that has barely been touched on. In the nexus between corporations and government there’s another fight going on: the one to create…

Herman Cain supports communities that want to ban mosques, but what about my community that wants to ban Herman Cain from The White House? Happy Birthday to someone special who had a birthday this week, actually two special people that did. Michelle Bachmann and her husband own a gay rehabilitation center and yet, they weren’t…
