Al Qaida hates Indiana, loves NYC!

Blog: July 14th, 2006

For anyone who’s worried about Al Qaida coming after you: Did you know that it’s much safer for you to live in the crown of the statue of liberty than by your neighborhood donut shop?Also, be sure you stay away from your local bean fest. Al Qaida apparently hates beans. You’d be much safer going […]

More Fake Outrage, More Wimpy Democrats

Blog: July 17th, 2006

A few days ago, the Democratic Party posted an ad on their website. For once, it was a powerful, effective ad, full of emotional imagery that succinctly presented an unmistakable message: The past six years have been awful, and it’s time for a change. Naturally, the Republicans in Congress and Republican bloggers were outraged! Outraged […]

Blog: July 20th, 2006

From yesterday’s Lexington Herald-Leader:
Sen. Jim Bunning made newspapers across the United States again yesterday — this time in the funny pages.A national cartoonist with a reputation for wry political humor took a swing at Kentucky’s Hall of Famer after Bunning called for The New York Times to be charged with treason.Candorville, which runs in about […]

BE AFRAID! Plot to bomb planes thwarted!

Blog: August 10th, 2006

Nabbing a few poor Black people from the projects who surprisingly aren’t fond of the government wasn’t scary enough. Neither was foiling a boneheaded plot to flood Manhattan by bombing the Holland Tunnel - a scheme that didn’t take into account the fact that New York is above the water level (you never know when […]

Reader mailbag - "But Lieberman IS ‘moderate!’ the Media says so!"

Blog: September 10th, 2006

This is representative of the feedback to today’s cartoon about Joe Lieberman and the mainstream media:
By candor do you mean your opinion?—no humor? Most people do not want a time table to pull out of Iraq.The people who are against privitization of SS don’t have an alternative solution.Most people don’t want to raise taxes to supprt […]

Fox News finally notices the Diebold voting machine scandal

Blog: September 17th, 2006

Now that the Democratic Party seems poised to retake the House, Fox News gets concerned about the voting machines. Where were they in 2002 and 2004, when the polls were nearly dead-even and every single Diebold “error” miraculously ended up favoring the Republican Party?

…and, a 10 minute video summarizing the Princeton study (which is one […]

Democrats on Bush on Osama

Blog: September 19th, 2006

The Democrats have created yet another simple, effective advertisement. I wonder how long it’ll take them to apologize for it.

What a surprise…

Blog: September 22nd, 2006

This is all over the conservative blogosphere. Can someone explain to me how a person can actually be nonchalant - if not downright proud - of using divisive wedge issues to drum up support they otherwise wouldn’t earn?
ROVE TIMEStaffers in the White House have been talking up the possibilities of an “October Surprise” or two […]

How many of these does it take?

Blog: October 31st, 2006

Bradblog.com has been covering multiple incidents of votes being flipped on the electronic voting machines, which will be used by well over 80% of voters next week. All of the reported incidents so far, just as in 2004 and 2002, are incidents in which votes for Democrats are flipped to the benefit of Republicans. Not […]

I’m sorry about what you said I said.

Blog: November 1st, 2006

What I learned this week:1. John Kerry inadvertently insulting the intelligence of the troops is far worse than George Bush getting those troops stuck in Iraq without adequate manpower, armor, or planning. It’s certainly far worse than Mr. Bush and his Congressional rubber stamps not having any plan (or intention, it seems) of getting our […]
