Charlie Sheen Agrees With Smitty

“I would disband the Fed, like now. Shut that motherf****r down now, and send the I.R.S. to prison.” — Charlie Sheen, in his “Violent Torpedo of Truth” show Tuesday in Washington, D.C. While I’d have a hard time picturing Smitty banging seven-gram rocks of cocaine and cohabiting with two porn “goddesses,” when it comes to […]

VIDEO CLASSIC: ‘Pure Bias, Which You Demonstrate With Every Breath You Take’

Kerry Picket of The Washington Times has not yet identified the two dudes who hassled her at a press conference with D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray, but the one dude (pictured above, right) let loose with a hissy rant of self-righteousness that will live in infamy: “Don’t pretend that you’re not biased. . . . You […]

Greg Mortenson’s Hope and Change
