Holy shit. So these two cousins in Louisiana, Hue and Cindy Vo, were co-valedictorians in their graduating class and they got to make a speech. They talked about their memories of high school, their friends, etc. Then because her parents don’t speak very good English, Cindy added a line in their native Vietnamese as a [...]
This weekend Wesley Clark caused a bit of an uproar when he questioned whether John McCain’s time spent as a prisoner of war really counted as foreign policy experience. McCain’s camp responded angrily. How dare Wesley Clark question the judgment of a war hero?
It’s true that John McCain was once subjected to unthinkable torture advanced [...]
In the Summer of 1877, the economy had gone south. Brakesmen and B & O Railroad workers pulling 72-hour weeks saw their wages cut 10-20%, while the railroad barons took home massive bonuses. (Sound familiar?) That summer the tension came to a head in Pittsburgh, where a serious strike went down:

Conservative douchebag Grover Norquist is calling Obama “Kerry with a tan.”
So what does that make Grover Norquist?
I’ve been watching the Obama/Clinton rally in Unity, NH, and as a communications strategist I’m pretty impressed with the whole spectacle, from the matching blue outfits on up.

Bush To Lift Sanctions Against North Korea
The move signals that North Korea has completed a key step in their denuclearization process. Bush might also remove the country from the infamous “Axis Of Evil” List in as little as 45 days.
There are only what … three countries on it so I [...]
Ralph Nader is running for President again. I won’t go on here with the long version of my thoughts except to say that he keeps running, again and again but has never built a movement around him or used his campaigns to bolster a viable third party movement, which makes the runs feel relatively [...]
I’m not sure what this has to do with activism, hedonism, politics or being a pinko commie but today was VERY tiring so I got home and was overjoyed to find a Law and Order, SVU marathon on TNT. Nothing like a sex crime and a little B.D. Wong to take the sting out of [...]
First Tiger Woods and now THIS?!
“Even if you never met him, you know this guy,” Rove said, per Christianne Klein. “He’s the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone who passes by.”
Rove went on to say [...]

Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, Tits.
We’ll miss you George.
Update: Cynic’s Party has a fitting tribute:
George Carlin is irreplaceable, and our species will get dumber faster now that he’s gone.
They continue in signature Cynic’s Party fashion:
George Carlin would have kicked Ron Paul in the balls before beating him senseless [...]
