Teabaggers: Time for Boo-Frickin'-Hoo Tea - 3 views

  •  
    Teabaggers need to sit down and relax over a nice cup of Boo-Frickin'-Hoo tea. They're upset over a recent Captain America comicbook showing protesting baggers with signs like, Stop the Socialists! and Tea Bag the Libs Before They Tea Bag You. Oh, the irony.

Don't Ask, Tell: Repeal DADT - 0 views

  •  
    Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has suggested there's no time to debate the end of the military's discrimination against gays against a backdrop of economic crisis, duo-war, and unemployment. That's bunk, yet he's right in one respect - we could save a lot of time by repealing DADT now.

When 'Activist' Judges are a Good Thing - 1 views

  •  
    Justice Samuel Alito silently mouthed off after Barack Obama called the Supremes out on their decision that corporations are allowed to spend freely on campaigns. As slights go it was a tepid thing. However, what he mouthed is nowhere near as important as the actions he took.

A Fox Guarding a Hen House Being Guarded by a Fox Already in the Hen House - 1 views

  •  
    Most people don't go to the corporate world to find model for ethical behavior - not unless they're marketing a new product made of lead and margarine called, "I Can't Believe It's Not Ethical". Still, a company has to really suck to stand out amongst their fellow gougers, cheats, and soulless greedheads.

Conservatives are Going Commie - 0 views

  •  
    The American right has a problem with the concept that Nazism is an extreme right-wing position and communism is an extreme left one. However, this confusion isn't surprising. Republicans have craftily gone so far right it's policies are simpatico with well-known leftist countries.

Timmy Has Fallen Down the Well - 1 views

  •  
    Through long and ignominious tradition, the US has selected people for cabinet positions based on a combination of nepotism and party loyalty. Products of this system include luminaries like former FEMA director, Michael Brown. But sometimes there are qualified cabinet nominees installed for all the wrong reasons. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is a useful example.

We Have Met the Terrorists and They is Us - 1 views

  •  
    I recently read a commenter who accused the Obamoids of ineptitude by asking why Amazon can track millions of books while Obama can't track a batshite crazy Jihadist who got caught in-flammable delicto. Fair enough question, though the book metaphor sucks.

Conspiracy Theories Are the New Cottage Industry - 1 views

  •  
    It seems conspiracy theories have become a cottage industry for the new millennium. People like Glenn Beck, Michele Bachmann, and Orly Taitz are making entire careers of trying to out-loon one another.

The GOP: Big Tent or Big Top? - 1 views

  •  
    Bring in the clowns! Sometimes the Party of the Big Tent is like the circus act where a plethora of clowns rides in on impossibly small fire engine and slapstick their way to guffaws.

A Nation Terrified by Terrorists - 0 views

  •  
    Despite the snooping databases, huge intelligence aparatus, and two wars, terrorists slip through. They'll slip through if you fly naked and ban all luggage. Loons will be loons, but they're smart and invisible as needles in a worldwide haystack.

Meet Tony Soprano, New CEO of First Premier Bank - 2 views

  •  
    First Premier Bank is making the leap into legalized loan sharking with a new credit card offering a $300 credit limit for $256 in first year fees, a $29 late fee, and a $75 annual fee thereafter. Oh, and they want to charge 79.9% interest on the outstanding balance just to sweeten the pot.

Don't Blame Obama, America Did It To Itself - 0 views

  •  
    Obama is neither liberal nor conservative, he's a middle of the roader. It sure would've been nice if voters had noticed that before they elected him.

Jesus! I Give Unto Thee the Holy Bonus - 1 views

  •  
    It takes a crapweasel with unbelievably huge balls to suggest that God thinks it's great CEOs to make more money than - well, God. John Varley, CEO of Barclays Bank, has had an epiphany.

When Generals Go Off the Reservation - 1 views

  •  
    For the second time, a General has publicly questioned the policies of his Commander-in-Chief. This time, the Marine Corps Commandant is displeased with Obama's desire to abandon Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Whether you agree with DADT or not, generals should not take their criticisms public.

Did Lou Dobbs Help Fire the Bullet? - 0 views

  •  
    Someone may be taking potshots at Lou Dobbs. It's not that I can't understand the impulse, every time he comes on the tube I want to make like an Iraqi journalist and go all Hush Puppy on his ass. Still, you'll not hear me defending the shooter.

Charlie Rangel: Stupidity and Greed Part Deux - 0 views

  •  
    In a recent post about Rep. Charlie Rangel's possible ethics problems I wrote, "Stupidity and greed favor no political party. There are grafthounds and charlatans in all of them." It seems both the Democrats and Republicans are hell-bent to prove it.

  •  
    The AFA is demanding 7-Eleven not stock the Marge Simpson Playboy edition. "The cover will create the kind of curiosity that can easily lead [children] into an addictive porn habit," the AFA said.

Help Wanted: Republican Programmers, No Experience Required - 0 views

  •  
    I know it's not nice to kick a website when it's down, but gop.com is such an easy target, and it is in a very small barrel, and I love the smell of gen-u-ine 2nd Amendment-shot fish so much and...oh what the hell.

The Case of the Whining General, Stanley McChrystal - 0 views

  •  
    One of the biggest elephants in the Afghan war room is General Stanley McChrystal, head honcho on the ground. McChrystal's no dummy. He's shown himself to be a capable leader (minus his involvement in the despicable Pat Tillman affair), but he may suffer from what many people who can walk on water do - extreme irritation when his advice is questioned.

Well, Duh! Wall Street Hasn't Changed - 0 views

  •  
    Some seem surprised that Wall Street's outrageous behavior continues unabated, which is about as insightful as saying they never saw the meltdown coming. Astronomical compensation, uber-risky investment behavior, and sales of new, more exotic investment instruments is still in vogue in Gordon Geckoland.
