    The Marist Institute for Public Opinion published their most recent poll of what word or phrase Americans just can't stand. According to them, the easiest way to send your fellow countrymen into a psychotic rage is to utter any of the following:

    Another internet meme that has recently attracted LGB's attention is the "yo dawg" meme. The meme features Xzibit, the host of the television show "Pimp My Ride," wherein Xzibit takes participants' cars and customizes them to the participants' unique preferences, in ways cars rarely are.

    Disbelief was bipartisan Friday morning as news broke that President Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize. The honor would have likely make it Obama's way eventually, but American commentators seemed uniformly convinced that awarding it to him now was premature to say the least. Obama' [...]

  • A Nobel Prize, Really?

    To say the least, I was shocked when I opened my web browser this morning to discover that President Obama has been given the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009. Perhaps what surprised me the most about President Obama's selection was the reasoning behind it: "He has created a new international'" [...]

    One of President Obama’s biggest goals as President is to broker a lasting peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians. That task became more complicated as a recent poll revealed that just 4% of Israelis found him to be “pro-Israel.”

    Across the board, President Obama and the Democrats possess a declining brand. Per usual, the Republicans are out-maneuvering their rivals. Politics is rough-and-tumble, and when you have to explain away myths, you’re losing the PR war. The Republicans know that and use it to their advantage.
