Why the Hell Do We CARE?!

OMG It’s NEWS!!  The President asked for mustard, no ketchup, on his cheeseburger, then had the GALL to say that if they had a spicy mustard like Dijon, he’d like to have that on his burger best.  Apparently, this is a big freaking DEAL going down here!  How dare the “mainstream media” not cover this [...]

Sen. Arlen Specter has Defected

Republican Senator Arlen Specter has decided to change parties and run as a Democrat in 2010.  One more sign that the Republican party is dying.  The bad news is that this might cause Coleman to dig his heels in even harder in the ridiculous fight to prove he won the Minnesota election against Al Franken [...]

News Flash: Some Conservatives Don’t Get Satire

When “The Colbert Report” first came out, there were some news pieces that I read about how conservatives didn’t realize that Colbert was joking and didn’t actually believe the things that he said, but instead was creating a satire of the conservative talking heads on networks like Fox News.  Now, after 5 seasons, apparently conservatives [...]

Thoughts on the Tea Parties

I’ve been browsing through pictures and videos of the tea parties going on nationwide today, and I have to say that I’m not really sure what the message is here.

This, for instance, is one of many that addresses issues other than too much taxation (which, unless these protests are made up of millionaires, doesn’t hold [...]

Attacks on Mrs. Obama Abound

Apparently the First Lady is getting too popular for her own good. Time for the Crazy Republican Squad to take her down a few pegs while crossing lines all over the place.
Exhibit A:
Tammy Bruce guest hosting on the Laura Ingraham radio show mocks Michelle for making a valid point about race and education (one [...]

Need a Laugh?

From tongue in cheek to downright crazy, these are some of the things that made me laugh this week.
Portia DeRossi apologizes for selfishly marrying Ellen Degeneres.  Those poor, poor heterosexuals.

First seen here.
Glenn Beck of Fox News has a breakdown…or something.  Apparently we’re the ones who are surrounded…or they’re alone…I couldn’t make [...]

Hypocrisy Rampant in Outrage over Earmarks

It burns!!  Republicans have recently been in a complete feeding frenzy over their new whining point: earmarks.  However, their actions and their words are so brilliantly opposed that it’s become almost funny.
I say almost because people are buying into this.  Earmarks are wasteful in some cases, but are a process that is inherent in our [...]

Rush Limbaugh Really IS the Head of the Republican Party!

This explains so much.  The whole fiasco that’s unfolding right now seems to point toward it, too.  The Dems claimed that Rush was the real leader of the Repubs, so Michael Steele, the head of the Republican National Committee, went on CNN to declare that Rush was NOT the leader of the party.  Showing an [...]

Poll About Obama

An interesting poll that’s come out recently.  From New York Times, more details there:
…A month into Mr. Obama’s term, with his first big accomplishments, setbacks and political battles behind him, more than three-quarters of Americans said they are optimistic about the next four years with him as president. Similar percentages said they think he is [...]

British Politics

This semester I’m taking a class on British Politics and we’re learning about how Parliament works there.   A few things I’m not sure I would like over here, but one aspect I definitely would.  The runner-up party in the elections are called the “Opposition Party” and they appoint their own ministers to correspond with the [...]
