I just read this on the Bowlesblog- a new, blogspot-hosted site written by John Taylor Bowles- the “white people’s candidate” from South Carolina’s Nazi Party.
I was just looking at the statistics for the Bowlesforpresident.com campaign website and the numbers of people viewing the site have doubled within the last week.
It was posted yesterday, Saturday, September […]

Newt Gingrich announced today that he’s not going to run for president.
Too bad.
I’d love to see another popular Republican jump into the race and stir things up.
It reminded me of this great interview he did with Ali-G.
Big up yourself… Respek… for my man Newt Gingrich…

Jill has the scoop for all of you bloggers who are still in college.
Supposedly, one of the scholarships is going to a conservative/libertarian blogger- and the other is for anyone.

I love early 90’s hip-hop. Reminds me of my youth. Good times.

More great cheesy old nostalgic hip-hop videos after the jump.

Given Bill O’Reilly’s shocking claims that Sylvia’s is just like any white restaurant, The Daily Show decided to send Senior Black Correspondent Larry Wilmore to check it out for himself.
I wish I had an embeddable version of the video, but it’s worth the click-thru. You might just piss yourself laughing.

Fox news is reporting another one of their “Christianity Under Attack?” stories ( watch the video ) - this one is about the Catholic League’s urged national boycott of Miller Brewing Co.
The Catholic League is upset over Miller’s ties to a fair promoted in an ad that shows semi-nude men and women in bondage […]

Hooker shortages.
Brothel owners in Bulgaria are blaming global warming for staff shortages.
They claim their best girls are working in ski resorts because a lack of snow has forced tourists to seek other pleasures.
Petra Nestorova, who runs an escort agency in Sofia, said: ‘We have hired students, but they are temps and nothing like our elite […]

Someone My good friend and quite awesome blogger Joseph IM’d me this quote from Bush yesterday. Another classic example of how it is possible to have some sheepskin hanging, but still not have a fucking clue:
“As yesterday’s positive report card shows,” Bush said, “childrens do learn when standards are high and results are measured.”

Here […]

Rush Limbaugh called soldiers who oppose the war - like the two young men who wrote the NY Times editorial and then ended up KIA - “phony soldiers“. This is, without a doubt, objectively worse than calling Petraeus “Betray Us”. Of course, Rush called Sen. Hagel “Senator Betray Us” back in January.
Nearly 4 […]

Tremendous ad campaign from Amnesty International in Switzerland cleverly inserting human suffering around the world into a billboard that blends seamlessly into it’s surroundings. A sample:

Those things are happening, right now, sharing this moment with you while you read this post.

There was a little disagreement this week between ModernEsquire and Jerid (BSB) and Matt (RAB) over the guaranteed right to counsel, at state expense if necessary, to all defendants in criminal cases.
Jerid argues it’s a right guaranteed by the constitution.
Matt disagrees, not surprisingly, with that interpretation of the constitution and argues that the state should […]

While not “Net Neutrality” related, this underscores the potential power and abuse allowing common carriers to regulate the content transmitted on their networks would permit.
Saying it had the right to block “controversial or unsavory” text messages, Verizon Wireless has rejected a request from Naral Pro-Choice America, the abortion rights group, to make Verizon’s mobile network […]

Back in May, Bill Todd called the Columbus City Center mall “the world’s biggest aboveground cavern” and challenged Mayor Mike Coleman to solve the problem.
Never one to back down from a challenge, even from an dirtbag like Todd, Mike and the City Council are doing just that:
Columbus has struck a deal with the owners of […]

On average, 15% of incoming college freshmen do not have a parent who attended college. At Ohio State, that number is nearly 23%.
Ohio State’s numbers are fantastic, because we know that many of these students come from families that haven’t traditionally considered college,” said Tally Hart, director of the Economic Access Initiative.
According to the […]

I just finished answering the questions on the latest version of the 2008 SelectSmart.com Presidential Candidate Selector and it looks like Dennis Kucinich is my ideal candidate.
Clinton and Obama tied for second place- which seems about right. And Sam Brownback and Fred Thompson both tied for last - which also seems like […]
