NANCY’S BOYS MAKE STRATEGIC MISTAKE

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 ... [Read More]

THE NEW YORKER DECLARES JIHAD ON YOUR FUNNY BONE

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: ... [Read More]

MONKEYS ARE PEOPLE TOO!?

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).

And while it may be controversial, it's hardly ... [Read More]

INFANTILE POLITICAL ADS

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 ... [Read More]

CHANGE YOU CAN’T BELIEVE IN

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 ... [Read More]

HOLY COW, ESTONIA “PASSES GAS” TAX

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 But much like the felonious farts, the bill had little substance and was repealed ... [Read More]
