Gay Marry It … Or Abort It? President’s Day Special.

Most historians agree that Warren G. Harding was the worst President ever, with George Bush not close behind. In a presidential gay marry/abort it contest, they are both headed for the medical waste bin. But Woodrow Wilson? We’d walk wheel him down the aisle. Both Roosevelt’s too. Maybe James Madison, but largely because I [...]

I am pro-vibrator and I vote.

A federal appeals court has overturned a Texas statute outlawing sales of sex toys, essentially leaving Alabama as the only state with such a ban. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that the Texas law making it illegal to [...]

In Your Face Scott Bakula!

CNN: Obama=Osama; Hillary=Monica.

The networks always fuck things up the worst when they try to be “cute” or “funny”. Jeanne Moos is CNN’s designated “quirky” correspondent following the campaign. She’s not particularly bright, and along with her producers managed to squeeze out this golden nugget:

Ha ha the candidates point. Comedy Central didn’t already make fun of this three [...]
