Watch as a Fox News contributor actually slams Lady McBush Sarah Palin. Look out, Liz Trotta, Alaska’s soon-to-be ex Governor is feeling sue-happy!
Apologies for our lengthy absence from bitchy blogging, however, Constance and I came to realize that our bank accounts were empty, and our larders even more so, making toil for the sake of worldly gain an imperative. However, I woke up this morning, far from my beloved swamps of D.C to read that none other [...]

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, [...]
The GOP wants America to know that they are not just the party of “no”, they’re also the party of daft and inconsequential legislation! Indeed, a bunch of Republican representatives are seeking to make 2010 the “Year of the Bible”. And it won’t surprise you for a moment to read that the sponsor of this [...]

Bloomberg is breathlessly reporting that a World Bank employee has been diagnosed with swine flu. Said employee had traveled to Mexico on business between April 14 and April 18, but has, apparently, already made a full recovery from this season’s most fashionable potential pandemic. As a precautionary measure, the World Bank has advised his colleagues who [...]
No, this is not one of Hizbollah’s screamy, if baseless, threats, nor one of Mahmoud Ahmadinnerjacket’s wetter dreams, but is, in fact, the result of what happens when some airlines go out of business, and others are wobbling along on very little money:
From the AP:
“Irate Israeli passengers have complained to British BMI airline that the [...]

I’ve been somewhat remiss in my coverage of the further adventures of Lady McBush, but today has brought news of her entry into the online world of Twitter. Ben Smith in the Politico has written that Palin’s first tweet was used (gasp!) to criticize the media by saying:
“AP gravely misquoted my staff, saying I ‘changed [...]
Unlike this week’s semi-official “we’re concerned but you should go about your business” message regarding the swine flu epidemic, the reaction to the 1976 outbreak–you know, the one Rep. Michele “Batshit” Bachmann tried to blame on Jimmy Carter–was more akin to: “GET VACCINATED OR WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!”
Despite Georgia being a heavily right-leaning state, the Democrats have a pair of respectable candidates in the gubernatorial horse race. Attorney General Thurbert Baker, state House Minority Leader DuBose Porter, as well as ex-Gov. Roy Barnes, waiting in the wings for his chance to run again.
The Republicans have a crowded primary of their own, with [...]

During an interview with PajamasTV today, Rep. Michele “Batshit” Bachmann (R-MN) made up some crap about how the last swine flu outbreak occurred under “another Democrat President, Jimmy Carter.”
BACHMANN: I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under Democrat President Jimmy Carter. And I’m not blaming this on [...]

Members of the Bilderberg Group have been amassing stockpiles of the Tamiflu vaccine in preparation for the deliberate release of this new strain of swine flu.

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.

Acting Israeli Health Minister Yakov Litzman has renamed the H1N1, or swine flu, outbreak for religious reasons.
“We will call it Mexican flu. We won’t call it swine flu,” said Mr Litzman, who belongs to the ultra-religious United Torah Judaism party.”

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.

The so-called “Ohio Militia” are planning a “Million Armed Militia March” on Washington D.C. to coincide with the July 4th holiday. Hmm, thousands of tourists, fireworks, and a bunch of disgruntled morons with guns? That sounds like a winning suggestion! And why does the weirdo who made the video feel the need to disguise his [...]
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 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 [...]

Like most people, I’ve read about Second Life, and decided that, while it seemed an interesting sociological experiment, I can barely keep my shit together in this life, so starting a whole new one sounded time consuming and dumb.

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 [...]

That’s the first thing that came to mind when I read the Republicans had unveiled an alternative economic plan with no numbers in it.

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.
