Public Option the True Test of President Obama’s Game

This has seemed like a bad week for healthcare reform.  Congressional Blue Dogs are doing their damnedest to kill the public option, and the White House seeming to backtrack on their support of it.  While expressing strong support for it, Gibbs has consistently refused to draw a line in the sand on the public option, [...]

Updated Follow Friday Recommendations and How To Guide

When I first did this, I intended to add some commentary as I went along.  Being a columnist for 3 websites and a White House reporter AND a dad is actually pretty time-consuming, as it turns out, so I sometimes don’t get back to things. I’m going to re-publish my list, and begin to make [...]

Billie’s Quickies

Girls totally rocked this week! Several years ago I had the pleasure of being a booker for fantastic band The Gun & Doll Show in San Francisco.  It was only for a short time, but while I worked with the terrific group, we had the opportunity to help promote the documentary “Girls Rock!” It was [...]

Birthers Endorse Chuck Norris For President

With all of the recent noise surrounding the “Birther” movement, I pitched a conspiracy theory roundup to my editors at Asylum.  As I was researching the article, I came across this hilarous Chuck Norris Fact:  The Birthers endorse Chuck for President.

Billie’s Quickies?

Well, after two days of no quickies because of unforeseen circumstances, I was quite excited to post some today.

As longtime followers of adult film actress Stormy Daniels’ burgeoning quest to unseat Louisiana Senator David Vitter, we were disappointed to learn that her bid hit a pair of rather large bumps this week.  First, there was her arrest on domestic abuse charges: Daniels was charged with battery after she allegedly hit her husband, Michael [...]

Best Blue Dogs Headline Evah!

BLUE DOGS MAKE DEAL WITH DEMS That’s HuffPo, making the distinction that should’ve been made long ago.

Will the White House Disclose UFO Secrets?

While media interest in UFOs has recently been confined to mockery of Dennis Kucinich, the time is right for a light to be shone on this issue.  We are approaching the time of year when the media has little to report on, and stories about Chupacabras, Montauk Monsters, and shark attacks dominate.  If interest in [...]

Tex-Mex Company to Convert Plant to Run on Farts

Well, recovered methane, but basically, the same thing.  Park that bad boy next to a Taco Bell, and you’ve got a perpetual motion machine: Bruce Foods, a manufacturer of Tex-Mex food and hot sauces is converting a plant to run on recovered methane. The Wilson plant, one of four owned by the Tex-Mex specialist, produces [...]
