White House Communication Director Anita Dunn will be leaving her post soon. She is best-known for saying that Fox News was acting as an arm of the Republican Party.
In spite of (or perhaps as proof of) the obviousness of that comment, the collection of Fox commentators ripped into her for those sentiments.
Now that she [...]

Gun Love

Gun people are totally smitten with the Second Amendment. What is this passion for guns?
I won’t even argue with them. We have the right to bear arms.
I don’t hunt, but I don’t object to hunting. And if you are going to hunt, I would prefer you use a gun over, say, bow-hunting.
(Bow-hunters forgive [...]

By Ike
There is a local gentleman, whom I know very well, who is totally ticked off, and is now organizing people to rally against “socialized health care.”
Do you know the punch line to this? C’mon, you know where I am going, right?
He has both Medicare and Medicaid.
Right, BOTH are government health insurance programs. Socialized medicine.
We [...]

By Kasson
The state legislature of Massachusetts is working on a bill to allow the Governor to appoint an interim Senator so that their state is fully represented in congress until the special election takes place on January 19, 2010.  This bill was one of Ted Kennedy’s final wishes.
It seems logical that the state legislature should [...]

By Wink
Sometimes I am really naïve. I thought my July 22 article about Barack Obama’s U.S. citizenship would not be controversial. Let me synopsize:
1) Obama is a U.S. citizen
2) Anyone who says he isn’t is an idiot
Some of the responses were fun, but not Matt’s. Matt is [...]

Limbaugh Attacks Powell… Again

Written by Ike
This may not come as a shock to anyone, at all, anywhere, but Rush Limbaugh recently demanded the former Secretary of State Colin Powell join the Democratic Party because he (Powell) did not vote for the same person that Limbaugh did. Rush reiterated that Powell’s endorsement of then-Senator Obama was based entirely on [...]

Such organizations as the Klan and the Black Legion appeal chiefly to lonesome young men who are starved for a proper social life, and ready to join anything in order to [...]

Newt Won’t Smile

By Wink
Please sit down and breathe slowly before reading the next sentence. President Obama smiled in an encounter with Hugo Chavez at the Summit of the Americas. Should I repeat that? He smiled.
The always-impartial former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said the smile will be used as propaganda by enemies of the United States. [...]

Anti-Gay Gays

Tags : , ,

At the top of EVERY anti-gay movement are several closeted gays. They are not hard to spot. They are the loudest, and making the most outrageous and bombastic statements. They are the leaders.
Why do they do this? Why do gays head anti-gay movements?
I suppose some, as children, were churched to believe that gays are evil. [...]
