So-Called “Intelligent Design” Sneaking Into Science Classes

As a part of their campaign to undermine science education in the public schools, Christian fundamentalists frequently promote a book titled Of Pandas and People. These “intelligent design” proponents, creationists by another name, consistently try to induce state agencies and local school districts to adopt Pandas as a “supplemental text” for use in biology courses, [...]

How To Secede In Govt Without Really Trying

Like a teenager who moves out, but still mooches off his parents for food, gas and laundry, Texas Gov. Rick Perry recently obliquely threatened to secede from the union. While addressing a bunch of tea baggers at one of their tax day bitch-ins, Perry told the crowd he didn’t believe they were all “right-wing extremists,” [...]

Phelps Family Circus Expands Repertoire to Protest Jews

The Wesboro Baptist Church of Topeka, KS has built their sterling reputation for batshittery by engaging in a continuous nationwide-tour of biblical homophobia, protesting the funerals of soldiers, productions of Rent, schools named after Walt Whitman, and any variety of high profile events that have nothing to do with homosexuality.
As I’ve written before, the Phelps [...]

Okay, NYT, What’s Age Got to Do With It?

If the New York Times had a story about how Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) is older than dirt, yet refuses to retire from public service, stating his exact age would be relevant to the article.  Or if there was a piece about disgraced former Sen. Ted Stevens, nearly as old as dirt, being granted concessions [...]

When Good Cops Go Bad

The vast majority of police officers in the United States are honorable men and women dedicating–and sometimes risking–their lives to protect and serve the public. Then there are also some dicks in blue–the type for whom their badge serves as passport for an ego trip.
I would consider Sgt. Raul Ramirez of El Paso, TX one [...]

Feingold On Noonan: “I’ve Never Heard Anything Quite As Disturbing”

My slightly unhealthy obsession with Senator Russ Feingold (D-Wisconsin) is no secret amongst the Dogoods. I find his stance on capital punishment, the automatic pay increases of the House and Senate, among others issues, and his role as the sole dissenter against the so-called Patriot Act, admirable. He seems to exude good, Mid-Western, common sense, [...]

Bush Torture Apologists: Sometimes, Knowledge Is A Terrible Thing

Not TORTURE! No, that sits just fine with their consciences, but knowing about it is wrong/sad/anti-American. Perhaps a couple of water-boarding sessions might change their minds? Starting with “Catholic” columnist, Peggy Noonan! Whom would Jesus scourge, Peggy?

Godwin’s Law On Steroids

I think the term “Nazi” is heavily overused, and today, Holocaust remembrance day, is as good a time as any to bring attention to the disparity. Obama, for example, is neither a Nazi nor Hitler. Not that the GOP and the tea baggers, like this rather well-fed protester, would agree. 
It seems utterly barbaric to cheapen [...]

Sex and the Satanist Rituals

I’ve always had strong doubts about the case against Amanda Knox and her Italian boyfriend Raffaelle Sollecito, who are currently on trial in Perugia, Italy for the murder of Knox’s British roommate Meredith Kercher.
But it wasn’t until I watched CBS’s 48 Hours investigation of the case that I realized how truly insane the Italian prosecutor [...]

Sex, Lies And Digital Video

A camera-phone vid of the public flogging by Islamist douchebags, one of whom was her own brother, of a veiled, under-aged Pakistani girl from the Swat valley has set the international news media and blogosphere abuzz. It has, more importantly, also triggered a wave of protests in Pakistan itself, from citizens decrying the religiously sanctioned [...]

CIA Medics Joined In Gitmo Torture Sessions

These are evil people. And we’re not going to win this fight by [...]

When Did Bristol “Advocate” Abstinence

Bristol Palin’s baby daddy appeared on the Tyra Banks show this morning.  Levi Johnston talked about sex, how Gov. Palin knew her daughter was having sex, how aforementioned sex created a baby, and a bunch of other things.
The Palin family spokesperson released a pre-emptive public statement over the weekend criticizing Johnston’s decision to to grant [...]

Oh, That’s Cold: Alaskan Weather And Politics

I have watched with endless fascination the rise of Sarah Palin, from little-known Governor of Alaska to McCain’s stunning, if gaffe-prone, VP candidate with a penchant for “terrorist” outing. And she is fascinating. Attractive, winsome, folksy and cute, Gov. Palin manages to get away with the bare minimum of actual governance in Alaska, preferring to [...]

“I’m Not A Plumber, But I Play One On TV”, The Samuel J Wurzelbacher Story

Samuel “Joe” Wurzelbacher, better known as the unlicensed plumber whom the McCain campaign thrust into the media limelight as their interpretation of what a working class American looks like, is back!
He’s still not a plumber, and he’s definitely not going to make many friends in the plumbing arts by shilling for the anti-labor astro-turf group, [...]

O’Reilly Groping the Darkness for Rockbottom

Every single time Prudence triumphantly declares FoxNews has perpetrated a new level of outrage establishing the bottom rung of the network’s standards of professionalism and decency, Bill O’Reilly finds a creative way to lower the bar even further.
In “Unfair and Increasingly Imbalanced, Chapter XVI,” O’Reilly dispatched one of his top producers to ambush a liberal [...]

Glenn Beck: Guns Don’t Kill People, Dangerous Minorities Do!

With my beloved Kitty Harris gone from public life, Ann Coulter still shivering from her hellacious beatdown courtesy of Meghan McCain, and Don Imus off with prostate cancer, I despaired as to whom I could turn to when I need some hard-core, uncut, “fuck you, reality” krazy. Fortunately, Fox News did not disappoint me, [...]

Lowest Common Denominator: The Fox News Formula

Sometimes I think to myself, “holy crap, Fox news couldn’t possibly sink any lower than that!”, and then they prove me wrong. Again. This is one of those times.

In the infuriating segment above, Greg “Gutless” Gutfeld and his panel of empty-headed morons mock the hardships and sacrifices of the Canadian military in Afghanistan, just as [...]

Pope Ben: Ignorance = Holy Bliss

AIG: The Great American Con

In the New York Times today, Andrew Ross Sorkin describes the AIG employees expecting fat bonuses as “brainiacs” in justifying the need to retain their services for the ailing company. But the way he lays out the case makes them sound more like criminal masterminds than masters of finance.
A.I.G. employees concocted complex derivatives that then [...]

The Unintentional Hilarity of the Israeli Lobby

This comment comes at the end of a detailed atta boy press release ZOA distributed yesterday detailing extensive lobbying the organization undertook and claiming credit for the [...]

Chas Freeman Lambasts Israeli Lobby

Ambassador Chas Freeman is a brilliant man. I occasionally attend a salon he frequents, and have always found his comments insightful, his questions probing.
In recent weeks, I’ve been amazed, though not particularly surprised, at the seemingly calculated destruction of his nomination for chair of the National Intelligence Council–the intelligence community’s brain trust responsible for producing [...]

Vatican Can Suck on My Dirty Panties

It was only in the past five years that the Roman Catholic Church finally decided women still deserve respect if they choose to work outside the home, so it’s a given the pontiff doesn’t express the most progressive views on the female role in society.
But in its latest affront to feminine dignity, the Vatican has [...]

Diss Wars: Coulter v. McCain

Conservative politicunt Ann Coulter hallucinates about demons of liberal bias whenever a member of the media decides not to interview her or quote her generally inconsistent, regularly factually unsound, and often offensive tripe.
Given her views on the “liberal” media, you’d think the bitch would want to help encourage the development of younger conservative writers, but [...]

Steele Kowtows to the GOPfather

Wikipedia Makes Blackwater/Xe Tranformation Official

Since Blackwater began the first stage of a re-branding campaign by changing its name to Xe two weeks ago, a heated debate broke out behind the scenes at Wikipedia.
First, site contributors debated and reversed a “unilateral” move that had re-directed Blackwater searches to Xe. But since then, Xe has won out, becoming the only portal [...]

Tonight We’re Gonna Party Like We Have Government Bailout Money

UK to Westboro Baptist Church: Bugger Off

Prudence wrote earlier this week about plans for a British protest tour by America’s most embarrassing and insensitive religious extremists, the Westboro Baptist Church, led by homophobic self-hating gay in denial, Fred Phelps.
Church members–most of whom are related to Phelps–had apparently planned to make a trip to jolly England to protest a college production of [...]

My Hunch: Vicki Iseman Totally Fucked McCain

Vicki Iseman has dropped her $27 million defamation suit against the New York Times’s, which targeted the paper’s reporting that John McCain’s advisers had once worried the senator’s close relationship with the lobbyist could create valid public concerns about his ethics.
A friend close to the action on this case told me some time ago that [...]

Sarah Palin: Not Trying to “Hide” Anything, Just Amending Expense Reports to Make It Less Obvious

Sarah Palin’s spinmeisters continue frantically trying to pretend like there was nothing wrong with the Alaska governor’s practice of charging the state a tax-free per diem when she was staying in her own home in Wasilia.
During the campaign, when the charges were first exposed by the Washington Post, Palin explained in an interview to FoxNews: [...]

Symptoms include confusion, anxiety, involuntary sphincter clenching, and in the most severe [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s self-publicized prisoner march in Phoenix, in which 220 shackled illegal immigrants were escorted at gunpoint through city streets, instead of being transported by bus to their new temporary home in Tent City.
The sheriff issued a press release in advance to alert the media there [...]
