People for the Ethical Treatment of animals (PETA) is known for churning out some pretty bizarre ideas but their latest is udder nonsense. According to PETA “The breast is best!” They’re urging Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to switch from cow’s milk to breast milk, which they claim is healthier and more humane (except for the actual humans of course). Ben & Jerry’s is refusing to kowtow to them but
Well that’s it, the election’s officially over. With the endorsement of white supremacist group the League of American Patriots (LAP), McKKKCain has got this thing locked up tighter than a black man in America. McCain’s LAP dogs are currently circulating fliers across Northern New Jersey that depict Barack Obama as Osama Bin Laden and ask “Do You Want A Black President?” Using what I can only assume is the scientific
If there’s one thing I hate it’s the language police, and they’re at it again. Republicans are accusing Barack Obama of sexism after he had the audacity to use the expression “you can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.” Never mind he was referring to McCain’s brand of change and not Sarah Palin, words do not take on different meanings depending on who they are directed
Apparently Dan “THE MAN” Abrams doesn’t know when to hold ‘em or fold ‘em. The host of MSNBC’s Verdict portrayed Barack Obama as the King of Spades on Monday night’s show (video below, about 3 min in). For those as clueless as the producers that OK’ed this, spade is well-known racial slur for blacks. MSNBC recently announced it’s replacing Dan with Rachel Maddow (aka Olbermann-lite). Seems Dan has no intention
Is God a republican? The evangelical group Focus on the Family seems to think so. They’ve put out a video (below) that asks its members to pray for rain during Barack Obama’s coronation… I mean, nomination at the Democratic Convention in Denver. And not just rain, but “umbrella ain’t gonna help you rain, swamp the intersection rain, network cameras can’t see the podium rain, attendees can’t walk back to the
It seems Osama Bin Laden has a fan in Japan and his name is Timaking. He’s the creator of Afuganisu-Tan, a “historical” comic that chronicles the turbulent past of Afghanistan through disarmingly cute characters each of which represent a country. Afghanistan is portrayed as a poor pitiable child, while America is depicted an arrogant bully who coerces the rest of the world into the global war on terror. As if
Lesbians are foaming at the mouth after a Greek court rejected their request to ban the L word on the grounds that it defames the residents of Lebos, aka Lesbians. But is anyone really surprised that a case about Lesbians resulted in a hung jury
Denver’s homeless will need to find a new place to loiter when the Democratic National Convention comes to town next month. The city plans to bribe them to stay away, or at least out of sight, with movie tickets & zoo passes So much for the party of inclusion. But officials insist they’re not “hiding the homeless,” they’re “housing them.” Jamie Van Leeuwen, head of Denver’s Road Home, defended the
Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi did her best impression of George Bush last week, telling CNN’s Wolf Blitzer she would not even allow off-shore drilling to come up for a vote despite polls showing 73% of Americans are in favor of it. Instead, she revealed her own ingenious energy plan to take 10% of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) “and use that to put on the market so that
How you interpret this month’s New Yorker magazine, which satirically portrays Barack Obama as a Muslim terrorist, says more about you, then it does about Obama or even the artist that drew it. It’s the ultimate political Rorschach test. And what the paranoid leftists over at the Huffington Post see is a smoking gun: “Because it’s got all the scare tactics and misinformation that has so far been used to
Spain is going to the dogs… er, apes. Last month the parliament’s environmental committee approved resolutions to extend human rights to apes (chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orang-utans). The legislation was spearheaded by the Great Apes Project (GAP), which believes (among other things) apes aka “community of equals” should enjoy the right to due process including “the right to appeal, either directly or, if they lack the relevant capacity, through an
Japanese cell phone provider Emobile has pulled their latest ad amid accusations of racism. The ad (video below) which features a monkey in a suit adressing a crowd of cheering fans who hold up signs demanding change is obviously a reference to presidential candidate Barack Obama. And while it may be controversial, it’s hardly racist. First of all, the monkey in question is a long established mascot for the company
Moveon.org’s latest political ad smacks of hypocrisy. The ad (video below) features what I can only assume is a gay unwed mother addressing John McCain, pleading with him not to take her baby to fight his 100-year war. Forget the fact that this commercial distorts McCain’s words in which he said he’d be fine with staying in Iraq for 100 years “so long as” our soldiers were safe such as
A day late and a dollar short, CNN (video) is finally vetting Barack Obama – after he’s already won! (oh well, it won’t help Clinton but it’s great ammunition for Republicans) The so-called “candidate of change” wasn’t exactly following his mantra when he ran for the Illinois Senate back in 1996. Rather than campaign against his opponents on issues, Obama challenged their voting petition signatures. If a signature collector wasn’t
Earlier this month the government of Estonia passed legislation that would have charged large farms, which house more than 300 cows or 2,000 pigs, around $5,000 each; claiming these gassy girls account for 18% of total greenhouse gas emissions. But much like the felonious farts, the bill had little substance and was repealed Thursday after receiving widespread & well-deserved criticism. The whole point of penalizing a company for polluting is
