The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Florida: The Creepy State

Shaped like a flaccid penis, this geographical appendage has apparently become the receptable of all perverse weirdness on the East Coast. Exhibit A — The Creepy Puppeteer: A Florida puppeteer known for community involvement was arrested and charged with conspiring to kidnap a child and possession of child pornography, according to a criminal complaint filed in […]

The Suspicious Mr. Williams

Quote of the Day: Ken Boehm, chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center, said, “In more than 15 years of investigating political corruption, I’ve never seen a more suspicious set of facts.” The circumstances definitely raise questions.

Tax Cuts Are Not ‘Spending’

Another reminder that they don’t teach economics at Harvard Law: “Republicans in Congress and their nominee for President believe that the best way to create prosperity in America is to let it trickle down from the top,” said Obama. “They believe that if our country spends trillions more on tax cuts for the wealthy, we’ll […]

The World’s Worst Excuse for a Daily Newspaper today published an editorial of unimaginable wretchedness, comparing Republicans to Stalin — yes, Stalin — for their opposition to ObamaCare.

Walton built the company into a profitable international news organization in his 10 years as president of CNN Worldwide, and said it […]

Ungrateful Limeys!

The British press and politicians are having an Olympic field day at Mitt Romney’s expense, with assistance of U.S. media. Never mind that we twice bailed them out against the Huns, eh? Maybe they’re still pissed off about us sending them Madonna.
