Satire CAN cross the line…

Most sane people know that the Glenn Beck assault rumor was meant to be tit-for-tat silliness.  However, I was so grossed out by the ‘rumor’ that I’m pretty sure I didn’t even re-tweet it … unless it was an accident. No matter, rape is not a joking matter, and slander can be just as bad. [...]

Twitstorm: Rachel Sklar, Andy Levy, and Baratunde Thurston Have it Out

Even though I completely missed it, I still insist on taking credit for yesterday’s pitched Twitter battle over Baratunde Thurston’s Mediaite story, “When Will This White House Learn You Cannot Negotiate With Terrorists?“  Even though I was sleeping off an Inglorious Basterds hangover, my autotweets were still awake making mischief. As such, I feel it [...]

Correcting the Record on Andrew Breitbart and Karoli

An unintentional breach of privacy and confidentiality has occurred which has caused me to have to kill a story that I was working on. 

I get it now…Glenn Beck is a “Bircher”

Now it makes sense.  No wonder the commie obsession.  No wonder the Van Jones attack … it’s all coming together now: “Sam, I have to tell you, when I was growing up, the John Birch Society, I thought they were a bunch of nuts.” But Beck’s views on that score seem to have changed — [...]

Americans Overwhelmingly Oppose Pubic Option

The current sticking point on health insurance reform is the public health insurance option, with a majority of congressional Democrats favoring it, a handful of Blue Dogs wetting themselves over it, and the Republicans hallucinating about it.  What’s being left out of the equation in Washington is how the American people feel about it. Polling [...]

President Obama Should Promote Van Jones to ‘Mom Czar’

This should take care of your Van jones. There is mounting pressure from the right to have the President’s special adviser on green jobs, Van Jones, served up on the ol’ Underbus Platter.  I say he should promote him.  Sure, “Mom Czar” is one idea.  He could be in charge of making sure that all [...]

Mr. President, you’re doing it wrong

Sir, rumor has it that you will be speaking to all the schoolchildren in the land – via some manner of remote device I can only assume.  While I also can only assume that teachers and school administrators will view your statement with the children in the classroom if time permits, I hope it isn’t [...]

Weeping they are … a blast from the past

From an Excellent essay by Derek C. Araujo: “The First Amendment’s Establishment Clause was written by the predecessors of today’s anti-religious liberal nuts. It was drafted with the diabolical purpose of guarding against the levying of taxes for the support of religious activities, a practice that was all too common in the early colonies. Today, a [...]

The President talking to school children…how inappropriate!

“THE PRESIDENT: I’d like to thank my friend, the Secretary of Education … I want to thank the teachers who are here. Thank you all for teaching. I’m here because this is a great school that believes every child can learn. It starts with a mind set that says every child can learn. That means [...]
