This is so damned awkward. The talk is not looking so straight. It’s almost painful to watch and you end up feeling really sorry for the guy. Watch this clip and tell me whether you’d be comfortable with this man leading our country:

Same shit. Different legislative body…

RESOLUTION
Honoring the life of Jesse Alexander Helms, Jr., distinguished former Senator from North Carolina.
Whereas Jesse Alexander Helms, Jr., born in Monroe, North Carolina on October 18, 1921, spent a 52-year public career dedicating himself to his country, his family, and his home State, representing North Carolina in the United […]

So I’ve been listening to the debate lately about whether rising fuel prices are being caused simply by an increase in demand from developing countries (china, india, etc.) or by something more complicated like speculation in the oil market - a la the Enron electricity fiasco in California.
Obviously John McCain, with his drill-first-ask-questions-later approach, believes […]

Budget cuts are threatening the Arecibo Observatory, home of the world’s largest single-aperture telescope. Arecibo is important because it provides a lot of basic science research, including providing the source data for the SETI@home project. Perhaps most importantly, it’s a key resource for identifying and tracking asteroids that pose an impact risk for […]

Yesterday Harry Reid [D-NV] introduced Senate Resolution 608 - “A resolution relative to the death of Jesse Alexander Helms, Jr., former United States Senator for the State of North Carolina” - and the entire Sentate signed on as co-sponsors.
The resolution expresses “profound sorrow and deep regret” over the death of this racist prick and claims […]

Well, it’s official.
Merriam-Webster is finally adding “wing nut” to the latest edition of their dictionary.
No news yet on “Christofascist” or “Asshat”. But it’s only a matter of time, I suppose.

You know how the right is always saying things like “everyone wants to come to America to get medical treatment” and “a national health care system would lead to rationing of medical treatments” ?
Well, not surprisingly, it turns out this is NOT true. None of it.
Actually, according to a new set of polls conducted […]

It’s obvious Starfleet Commander Matt Hurley lives in a fantasy world. You can’t really take what he says seriously.
So let me clear something up for everyone: despite what Matt thinks, Iraq never had nuclear weapons - or any other “weapons of mass destruction”.
Jesus, didn’t we clear this shit up years and years and years […]

So I’m sitting home flipping through channels when suddenly I come across the famous lightsaber fight scene from The Empire Strikes Back. You know… the one where Darth Vader tells Luke Skywalker he’s his father?

Anyway… I guess I spend too much time thinking about politics because the first thing I notice is that Darth […]

Have you ever worried that one day soon the Rapture will come - sucking your Jesus-accepting body and soul up to Heaven but leaving behind all of your heathen friends and family?
Have you ever worried that your “left behind” friends will be stuck on Earth without knowing you are one of the chosen ones and […]

Jesse Helms, five-term Senator from North Carolina and life-long racist fuck, died today - supposedly of “natural causes”.
My guess: he turned on CNN and realized that one of them Negroes was going to be president soon and his small, hate-filled heart finally gave up.
You can check out wikipedia for more info on Jesse’s racist legacy, […]

While I’m on the topic of hard to understand commercials, here’s one for a Columbus, Ohio Army Surplus store called Surplus World that starts like this:
When you want to support our troops, your family and friends in the military…
think Surplus World!
Can anyone explain how buying airsoft guns and cheesy t-shirts helps support our troops?
Obviously it […]

Saw this commercial on today’s local news.
See how long it takes you to figure out what it’s for.
Hint: Dinosaurs and Humans hanging out together…

Rev. Kenneth Copeland - one of the corrupt ministers being investigated for breaking all kinds of tax laws with his extravigant lifestyle - has basically told Senator Grassley, the guy leading the investigation, to go fuck himself.
In short: “It’s not yours, it’s God’s, and you’re not going to get it,” Copeland said of his financial […]

McCain visits Lordstown, Ohio auto plant and the workers basically boycott the event.
Why?
“Management invited him,” said Tim Niles, a worker in the plant. “It had nothing to do with us. We’re with Obama.”
It’s one thing to get the endorsement of the UAW, but it’s a whole other thing to hear it right from the […]
