In less than 48 hours, those who haven’t already voted will start heading to the polls. So where is the race two days out?
Well, speaking to the British press, GOP pollster Frank Luntz “cannot foresee a scenario that John McCain is elected the President of the United States.” Fretful Democrats, speaking mostly to their therapists, [...]
Charles Allen Conyers Jr. is a colleague of mine best known around the office for his hilarious youtube antics. Now Charles has created a series of short films adapted from the article “Make-Believe Maverick“, by Tim Dickinson. Not quite as “ha ha” funny, but damn… Tell us what you really think Charles!
Here is Episode 1:
Of the 49 (49!) debates of the 2008 political season, tonight’s was, by far, the last.
But even after the candidates left the stage so much was left unanswered! What is Barack Obama’s REALLY real connection to Bill Hussein Ulyanov Ayers? Is McCain off of his medication or does he just need to have his dosage [...]
The merchandising of the 2008 presidential race has given voters near-infinite options for expressing their political views with their wallets. But why stop there? Instead of just wearing your politics on your sleeve, why not wear it in your gastrointestinal tract? Why consume (and inevitably expell) boring old normal food when you can literally be [...]
They’re wrinkly, adorable, wise, and just a little bit racist. They’re old people. They tell the world’s greatest bedtime stories. They know how to cook everything from memory.

Update: The big networks [...]
I know this is probably the last thing you want to hear right now. I just think you ought to know. Obama is going to lose.
We are going to have the most conservative Supreme Court we have ever had. We are going to lose the right to an abortion. We are going to find ourselves [...]
Today, Wednesday August 13th, is Left-Handers’ Day 2008.
Famous lefties who are also famous lefties include Senator Bill Bradley, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Other notable southpaws include Edward R. Murrow, James Baldwin, Jimi Hendrix and “Perfect Strangers” heartthrob Bronson Pinchot.
Some people also say that being left handed is a [...]
No, we’re not talking about The Love Guru. Although, if we had the intestinal fortitude to sit through it I’m sure we’d have some gripes there as well. No, we’re talking about John McCain’s latest internet video.
The video, which stoops lower then even the record breaking lows of the campaign ads that proceeded it, features [...]
