I’ve got some good news, and some better news. The good news is, the next installment in the Batman series is set to start filming this summer. And it already has a title: “The Dark Knight Rises.” I am kind of excited about this new film. I was really reluctant to see the last one, [...]

So I’ve heard, PETA is extremely dissatisfied with Vice President Joe Biden for handing out hot dogs to US troops returning from Iraq on the Colbert Report. “You can’t expect troops to be lean, mean fighting machines if you’re stuffing them with fattening, artery-clogging meat, eggs, and dairy products every day” -Tracy Reiman, PETA Executive [...]

If you haven’t heard, Arizona legislature passed a law allowing police to stop or detain suspected illegal immigrants and demand proof of their citizenship. They do not need warrants. They do not need probable cause. This is arguably the most dangerous law ever enacted. This blatant invasion of privacy can be a window of opportunity [...]

So Tiger Woods said he would be a much more collected person since he returned from his time off. Yet we saw pretty much the same Tiger that we did before. On multiple occasions he used profanity. Who gives a crap? Jim Nantz, apparently some sort of golf announcer, said he would be fired if [...]

So an NCAA panel has decided that, if it were to expand the Men’s NCAA Basketball Tournament, it would create a 96 team format. I understand that this would give me teams a chance to go Dancing, but lets be honest, why do they really want to expand? Short answer: Money. Long answer: MOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEYYYYYYY. We [...]

By Cessna Are insurance companies worried about the health care bill? (Hint: Their stock prices are rising) Under the Senate plan, millions of Americans will be forced into private insurance company plans, which will be subsidized by taxpayers. This will do little to reform health care but will be a windfall for insurance companies. The [...]

By Cessna Ladies and gentlemen, the Senator has left the building. He is finally at peace, hopefully. He fought his entire life for real change, real progress. And through countless family–and personal–tragedies he continued to fight. For equality, for minimum wage, and his final battle, health care. Ted Kennedy stood up for those too weak [...]

Presidential Purpose

By Cessna “Liberals” have pretty much been on the right side of every major issue in the history of this country. Ending slavery. Medicare. Social Security. Voting rights. Every one fiercely opposed by conservatives. Those soft-hearted liberals were against going to war in Vietnam and Iraq. Those ventures both went well, didn’t they? Now liberals [...]
