  • Study Finds Media Harder on Obama than McCain

    I’ve been saying for a while that McCain gets pass after pass. The only reason it really seems the coverage favors Obama over McCain is that Barack makes far fewer stupid blunders than does McCain. There is news there. No surprise. But De Magno Opere uncovers an LA Times pieces [...]

    CBN is reporting that the Christian Defense Coalition is launching a campaign against Barack Obama in an attempt to label him “The Abortion President”. Here’s the creepy photoshoped image they plan to use: Their stated goal is to “make clear that Obama wants taxpayers to foot the bill on abortions.” I’m pretty confident [...]

  • Matt Hurley Still Thinks Sadam had WMDs

    Number of comments: 10
    It’s obvious Starfleet Commander Matt Hurley lives in a fantasy world. You can’t really take what he says seriously. So let me clear something up for everyone: despite what Matt thinks, Iraq never had nuclear weapons - or any other “weapons of mass destruction”. Jesus, didn’t we clear this shit up years [...]

    Jesse Helms, five-term Senator from North Carolina and life-long racist fuck, died today - supposedly of “natural causes”.

LaTourette’s plan is typical of the really bad ideas being proposed by Republicans this year in response to rising fuel prices. Instead of trying to cut consumption and reduce our dependence on oil, LaTourette [...]
