This just in: Being President is…HARD!

Barack Obama ‘too tired’ to give proper welcome to Gordon Brown
Sources close to the White House say Mr Obama and his staff have been “overwhelmed” by the economic meltdown and have voiced concerns that the new president is not getting enough rest.
Perhaps this might be because he’s having to do everything himself, as he’s failed [...]

OBAMA! Deliver us from….uh…?!

I know I said that the blogging was off for a while, but this question has been burning its way through my brain for a while now, and I’m simply just dying to find the answer.  So here goes:
Just what exactly is it that Pres. Obama is supposed to deliver us out of?  The sweeping [...]

It’s the first day of the New Era of Obama

Well, how goes the Inaugural afterglow?  Has your Obamagasm left you feeling spent, a little weak in the knees?  Me, I’m feeling that sort of bitter, dirty regret you feel when you wake up after a big kegger and realize that you probably cheated on your girlfriend last night with some ugly, fat chick, but you’re not [...]

Obama Coronation Day

er…I mean, inauguration day.  Maybe we should just call it “Obamapalooza.”
I’m trying to decide if the fact that a black man is being elected President of the United States leaves me, shall we say, utterly indifferent means I’m a racist privileged anglo-centric white oppressor, or, if I’m actually an awesome post-racial egalitarian who has managed [...]

Are Democrats Dumber Than Republicans?

Or perhaps I should say, more ignorant?  Less educated?  Less literate?
AS much as the Dems and Progs like to paint the right-wing crowd as mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging neanderthal throw-backs, evolution’s “Epic Fail” on the grandest scale, one must at this juncture pause and consider the scientific veracity of this scenario.
In the past several elections – to include [...]

It’s like Deja Vu all over again

In a strange and total unpredictable twist of fate, a veritable blindside out of nowhere, a classic and pristine underdog, come from behind, against all odds, cue the sweeping orchestral crescendo win, it would seem that the Minnesota Senatorial election has gone to Al Franken.
This after a statistically improbable number of “found” and recounted votes [...]

Franken-stein rises from the dead.

As the continuing travesty of Al Franken’s blatant attempt to cornhole the electoral process in Minnesota senatorial election continues continuing, I have a brave and cutting edge prediction to make.
Right about the time he is “found” to have enough votes to clinch the election, all the recounts will miraculously stop.
Because, well, that’s just what they [...]

Where’s that Theocracy now, beotches?

For the better part of 8 years, the frothing fringe Truther crowd, the associated Code Pink nutjobs and other hangers-on have been pounding the table and swearing on a stack of Communist Manifestos that ol’ G.W. was hell-bent on setting up an oppressive Right Wing Dominionist Theocracy, complete with a modern krystalnacht rounding up gays, [...]

In which I make certain pithy and delightfully droll observations…

…somewhat akin to a certain Jeff G., which, because of the NUANCE!
I continue to find it amazingly amazing that the political party of which continually bills itself as the party of The People! (which, if you were wondering, is the Democrats) has taken such a ready and almost, dare I say, “pitbull”-like (minus the lipstick, [...]

The debate is all but over now.

Well, so far intellectual powerhouses and insightful political analysts like PINK, Pamela Anderson, Matt Damon, and now Lindsay Lohan have all come out firmly against Sarah Palin.  I figure its only a matter of time before Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz weigh in.
I mean, really, what more do you need?  It looks like it’s Barak [...]
