So Miami Heat Basketball Player Tim Hardaway goes on the radio and says “I hate gay people”…
and it looks like the christian right may have finally found a candidate conservative enough for their tastes.
My prediction:  Immediately after getting out of rehab, Tim Hardaway will be flying to Dallas to meet (and pray) with Evangelical Kook James […]

Joel Surnow is the man behind FOX’s popular action drama, 24. Personally, I like 24. Despite the show getting increasingly insane, I find it enjoyable. Jack Bauer does, in fact, kick ass. But I also recognize it’s fiction. Torture works on 24, every time, but - perhaps because I’m a […]

In 1995, Chrysler got 10 years worth of tax breaks to move its Mopar parts distribution center from Solon to Streetsboro.
Those tax breaks ran out last year- and this year Chrysler is closing the distribution center.
Man, I would be PISSED if I was Streetsboro.
I’d get together with some top Streetsboro lawyers- and make sure the […]

Just finished watching the documentary Why We Fight. I’m a little late to the game, but what a fantastic documentary. It avoids cheap emotional tricks, and does a tremendous job of laying out the evidence supporting Dwight Eisenhower’s statement about the dangers of the military-industrial complex. Followed it up with the good […]

John McCain (born August 29, 1936) turned 70 this past August.  If he won in ‘08, he would be the oldest person ever elected president of the
United States (Reagan currently holds the record at 69).  So, to be realistic, this is probably his last chance to run.
 
McCain knows this and, even though the senior […]

If you want a completely different perspective on the topic of Al Gore running for president, then check out Rolling Stone magazine. (thanks for the link, amber)
Tim Dickinson, the article’s author, makes the case that Al Gore may be “the ideal candidate for the Democrats” in part because he is “a Hollywood celebrity, the star […]

Matty “Mama’s Boy” Naugle:
Well, atleast this is a Democrat in the Senate who doesn’t just hate our troops and supports nonbinding defeatist resolutions that do nothing other than help with future political TV ads and embolden the enemy. Sherrod Brown has the courage of his convictions- Sherrod is willing to stand up and tell the […]

There are a lot of people pushing to get Al Gore into the 2008 race for president.  The slogan over at draftgore.com is: He won it once.  He can win it again. 
But, as we all know, Al Gore didn’t win.  Not once.  Not ever.  He lost.  And, if you believe the numbers, then he isn’t […]

I alluded to it last Friday, and despite the fact that we are still having minor presentation issues (which I’ll be working on fixing as time allows), I’m pushing our new forums live today! You’ll note a box on the right linking to active discussion topics, and a new link to the forums at […]

I tell ya, these guys are non-stop fun. In a post today complaining about the number of state employees making more than $100,000, which has risen 10 fold in the past decade (not adjusted for inflation, mind), they pointed out that universities weren’t included in the totals…
Just imagine if it included public universities.
Well, I […]

OK, so you may have already seen this, but just in case you didn’t, this is a side-splittingly funny segment from Monday’s Colbert Report interviewing Zack Space.

Of course, RABid make some sort of bizarre claim that Space is some kind of “Commie in sheep’s clothing” who is hiding his true views in order to placate […]

CREW compiled a list of what they say are the 25 most corrupt members of this Administration. So much for returning honor and dignity to the White House.
CREW found and documented more than more than 160 cases of misconduct over the last six years and then narrowed the list based on type of offense, […]

Yes- they are finally here.
Wristbands for presidential candidates.
Barack Obama is the first one out of the gate- and he chose blue (I think yellow was already taken).
The rest of the candidates better hurry up before the good colors are all taken.

Some young women were studying in a dorm at Ohio State and had the gall to ask some young men to observe the quiet hours regulations. It was 2:30 in the morning on Monday. After a verbal confrontation (which included racial slurs) resulted in the men, who were not residents of the dorm, […]
