Republicans are bordering on self-parody with their latest performance during last night’s healthcare address. I suppose, in some circles, calling a (still popular) sitting US President a liar (in a joint session of Congress, no less) would be courageous. All the paper thrusting and neck signs really made for good television, but it would seem their [...]

“I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised.” – Carrie Prejean, Miss California
Did you hear, despite being in a state of threatened collapse, the Pakistani government is currently going forward with plans to build a new generation of nuclear [...]

“This is a person who is one of the most anti-American leaders in the entire world. He is a brutal dictator, human rights violations are very, very prevalent in Venezuela. And you have to be careful. When you’re talking about the prestige of the United States and the presidency of the United States, you [...]
Still entertaining…
Posted in Politics on December 10, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I say, there’s nothing more entertaining than a mutually contradictory story coming from liberals, who believe Obama’s centrist appointments indicate he isn’t as left-leaning as advertised, and conservatives, who still insist Obama is probably the most radical leftist President in our history. Hilarious, to be sure. I’m enjoying the hell out of it all. The [...]

What we have here is, failure to communicate. That’s right, friends.
Poof, up in smoke went gays’ right to marry. A majority of Californians voted to overturn localized measures allowing gays to marry, snatching a right from homosexuals that they had just begun to enjoy. This is as fine an example as I’ve ever seen of what [...]

Now that America has at least partially exonerated herself from foreign charges of racism and ignorance (how many Western European countries have elected minority candidates for their top office, I wonder?), we can all move on and begin the healing process. Right? Wait a second, Obama didn’t win the white vote. That means whites are [...]

“I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it’s been done in America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.” – Barack Obama
People said of Reagan, after a difficult time, he made us proud to be Americans once again. [...]

Mr. President-elect, whomever you may be, accept the advice of the long dead, but forever wise.
“I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”
“I would rather be [...]
A Monster On the Road to Salvation

“The silkworm has many thoughts
and wants to parade his knowledge.
He does so by creating a cocoon
and kills himself in his confused ideas.”
- Rumi, 13th century mystic
McCain cries, “He wants to spread the wealth around” in messy, Robin Hood-like fashion, upsetting the establishment, setting aside the status quo for “change we can believe in.” The [...]
