SF Mayor Proves He’s Not Gay

Blog: February 1st, 2007

Ever since Mayor Newsom bravely fought for civil rights when he allowed gay couples to marry in 2004, the country’s knuckledragger population has been speculating he’s gay. These are probably the same dimwits who assumed that if you doubted Hussein had WMD, it meant you were secretly the founder of the “I Want Saddam’s Love-Child” [...]

What’s this guy done, really?

Blog: February 8th, 2007

So Rudy’s in.In the days after 9-11, America needed a hero and it picked Rudy. Talk of “President Giuliani” began just a few days after 9-11, and I’m still waiting for someone to explain to me just what Rudy Giuliani has done to indicate he deserves to sit in the Oval Office. He was an [...]

Fox News: Barack Obama, Sex Offender?

Blog: February 11th, 2007

Faux News affiliates sure are subtle, aren’t they?
Don’t think subliminal crap like this works? Take a look at how well it works even on people who make their living at it (watch it through to the end for the payoff):

Fox’s Obama obsession: If it walks like racism and talks like racism…

Blog: February 15th, 2007

I saw something on YouTube the other day (I’ve posted it below) that I found disturbing. But luckily, I had the foresight to pull out and leaf through my tattered copy of The Modern American’s Guide for Interpreting Other People’s Behavior: Women/Minority/Gay Editionâ„¢. I carry it with me everywhere I go. It comes in handy [...]

George Washington’s Mojo

Blog: February 20th, 2007

Having lied, invaded, occupied and vacationed away his honor in the eyes of about 70% of Americans, George W. Bush tried to borrow a little bit from George Washington yesterday.That reminded me of this cartoon I published back in ‘06, when the Congressional leadership first tried (and failed) to use the nifty “cut and run” [...]

Obama’s odd reason for opposing impeachment

Blog: June 29th, 2007

Barack Obama on the incompetence and secrecy of the Bush administration, and on why impeaching them is unacceptable:
“There’s a way to bring an end to those practices, you know: vote the bums out,” the presidential candidate said, without naming Bush or Cheney. “That’s how our system is designed.”-USA Today 
Well, no. Our system was actually designed [...]

Why Bush should be Impeached

Blog: July 18th, 2007

I still have no idea why Barack Obama believes the current administration’s violations of our Constitutional rights do not constitute “grave breaches.” I’m sure his desire to not be impeached himself, should he win, has nothing to do with it. Watch this recent Bill Moyers special (in 5 parts) for a less self-interested assessment:

"Stephanie Miller Show" goes slumming with Candorville’s Darrin Bell

Blog: July 19th, 2007

For some unknown reason, Elayne Boosler, guest hosting the Stephanie Miller Show on Jones Radio Network (& aired on many Air America affiliates), decided to spend a few minutes interviewing yours truly this morning. I didn’t post about this beforehand or tell friends or family because it would scare the hell out of me knowing [...]

If the Media were Liberal…

Blog: July 24th, 2007

If the Media were truly Liberal, this (minus the sarcastic bookends) is the kind of thing we’d see during the day after Oprah, instead of after Midnight on a Saturday:
