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.

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…

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…

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…

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…

Why is Rupert Murdoch even interested in hacking people’s phones? He mostly makes up the news. He gets his “leads” by having someone write “Obama sucks” on a bathroom stall door 15 times and calling it a “Poll of how Americans feel about the President.” So a part of California wants to secede into a…

Tim Pawlenty says he doesn’t care what anyone thinks, he’s a patriot. Unless you don’t like patriots, then he’s not one. People who walk their dog are the city version of sunday drivers, except an old lady’s Buick never tries to bite my ankles when I pass it. Best Part of American freedom: Fireworks. Worst…

While watching the fourth season premiere of True Blood I found myself saying “What the fuck am I watching?” and not in a good way. Fairies chasing people in the desert while shooting white bursts of lightening, Jason leading a cult of diseased looking children, Tara as a lesbian? At a certain point, it tips…

I want to see Ron Paul’s birth certificate. I’m pretty sure he killed my great, great grandfather at the Battle of Gettysburg. For a party of homophobes, Republicans sure are gay for Ronald Reagan. They quote him constantly and try to predict what he would or wouldn’t like he’s some messianic figure worth slavish devotion….
Petty Issues: Republican Debate Edition
After watching the Republican debate, a few thoughts… 5. This is the party of has beens, only two of the seven candidates on stage are currently in government, and it’s laughing stock candidates Ron Paul and Michelle Bachmann 4. John Huntsman should save his money and not run. When Republicans say they want more variety…

Before seeing Lady Gaga on 60 Minutes, I didn’t really like her that much…and now I’m certain I don’t. This is reason 11466 that young women don’t have any good role models in a media landscape of fame whores and teen moms turned reality stars. The best role models out there are international women (like…

It’s weird that so many look forward to The Rapture they miss the very real man made armageddon of Climate Crisis, currently shredding through the red states in the form of tornadoes. This weekend will officially make me 25, the same age as Lady Gaga (who could pass for an easy 40, when I saw…

This week McDonald’s announced they’re trying to go after the Starbucks crowd by installing new flat screen TVs and toning down the drunkenly bright color scheme in select McDonalds. If I were McDonald’s I would just sit back and count my billions and let Starbucks have the douchebags that pay 3 dollars more for a…
