For two days now CNN has been telling me that Saddam Hussein was going to be executed- soon- very soon.
They showed me footage of other people being killed in Iraq.
They even had a doctor show me how hanging kills a person.  
They told me who was going to claim the body and his personal effects.
And they […]

Plunderbund would like to congratulate Matt Naugle, Ken Blackwell’s official 2006 campaign blogger, for winning the Cleveland Plain Dealer’s “Terrell Owens Good Sportmanship Award”  for his bobble-head video. 
Great job, Matt!  Keep up the good work.

In a recent, RAD-ripping post, Jerid at BSB says:  “the Republican party is built on a homophobic message that is largely based off hate and fear.”  This time, Jerid, I’ll have to disagree.   Fear and Hatred of same-sex couples DOES get the wing-nut base motivated and energized, but you can’t build a whole party on […]

Our friend over at the Buckeye State Blog announced this evening his retirement from the blogosphere.
Present Plundercrew (Jerid, Joe and Brian), along with Plundermonkey alumni (Eric) want to wish Russell all the best in his new endeavor with Ohio Treasurer Richard Cordray. The blogosphere is losing one of it’s best today, but the state of […]

On Pandagon yesterday:
The evidence that Christmas exists is overwhelming, and since a lot of us atheist sorts are kind of fond of evidence-based conclusions, we’re going to believe in Christmas. In order to deny the existence of Christmas, you’d probably have to be a religious nut whose religion teaches you that there is no Christmas […]

In today’s NY Times:
One night in mid-April, the steel door clanked shut on detainee No. 200343 at Camp Cropper, the United States military’s maximum-security detention site in Baghdad.
Notes he kept during his detention in a maximum security American military prison in Baghdad, and the Bible he kept, in which he wrote some of the […]

Taking a break from the hard work of preempting local gun laws and screwing the incoming democratic governor, Ohio’s Republican-controlled legislature is finally focusing on something that all Ohioan’s care about:  indigenous fruit and Nascar…
 
Score one for the mighty pawpaw
It was getting late in the evening on Thursday, and as the Ohio Senators milled around waiting to finish […]

They didn’t do much, but they did manage to rename a heck of a lot of post offices…
Of the 383 pieces of legislation that were signed into law during the two-year 109th Congress, more than one-quarter dealt with naming or renaming federal buildings and structures - primarily post offices - after various Americans.
That’s clearly the […]

The American Union of Concerned Scientists are speaking out about the politicization of science.
Some 10,000 US researchers have signed a statement protesting about political interference in the scientific process.
The statement, which includes the backing of 52 Nobel Laureates, demands a restoration of scientific integrity in government policy.
We all know why this matters - but […]

When “Mama’s Boy” Matty Naugle stated that liberal men were pansies, apparently he was right!
Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality. That’s why most of the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today’s rise in homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula […]

Elephant headquarters hit againThe Mad Glass-Smasher, the guy who’s been using the state headquarters of the Ohio Republican Party for target practice, has used rocks, bricks and a broken padlock to shatter windows and doors.
Last week, even after Columbus police gave the GOP the OK to post video of the guy bouncing a rock off […]

OK, so I guess it’s time for somebody here at Plunderbund to weigh in on the proposed (Plunderbund alum) Eric - Matty slugfest. Here it is:
I agree with staff at BSB.
I don’t know where LisaRenee learned that [ignoring personal attacks works], but it is in stark contrast to what I have learned over the […]
