And you think liberals are mounting a War on Christmas? Watch this monstrosity… if you dare. It’s bad enough to make you want to drown yourself in the eggnog bowl. After stopping the bleeding from your ears, first.

So, what’s a bigger attack on Christmas? Desiring that government not meddle with it […]

This is astonishing.
I have now received three (3) student papers that discuss Iraq’s attack on the Twin Towers on 9/11. All three papers mention it as an aside to another point. I’ve had two papers on the virtue of forgiveness that argue that if we had just forgiven Iraq for the 9/11 attacks, we wouldn’t […]

Are you freakin’ kidding me? Hunter was serious?
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the `Restore Patriotism to University Campuses Act’.

SEC. 3. DENIAL OF FUNDS.
(a) Denial of Funds for Permitting State Terrorist Access to Campus- No funds described in subsection […]

I hate driving traffic to RAB, but I can’t pass up this picture-perfect opportunity. Matty said:

But the Dispatch said:
“The renovation will be underwritten by private donations to the University Foundation, and no tax dollars will be used,” said James C. Schroeder, foundation president.
Maybe the students “don’t care” because they aren’t paying for it, chucklehead. […]

When I finally got close to the front of the line at my polling place in 2004, a pollworker told me to cover my T-shirt. It had the words “Vote Explosion” on it.

Seeing as I had nothing to cover it with and had just spent 3 hours in line, I politely pointed out that there was no partisanship expressed by the shirt. Vote Explosion was just a loose group of friends registering folks to vote at rock shows. She replied that they were trying to avoid even the slightest possible implication of impropriety.

OK, fair enough. Polling places are supposed to be inner sanctums of nonpartisanhip. Neither voters nor pollworkers may wear political shirts, stickers, or buttons within a 100 foot radius. Although the words “Vote Explosion” aren’t explicitly partisan, neither are the words “Eagle Forum” or “MoveOn.” I think it was a wise move to err on the side of overzealousness, and simply prohibit T-shirts bearing all of the above.

The guy behind me in line loaned me his sweatshirt, and I was able to step forth to express my partisanship in the privacy of the voting booth. As an ongoing tribute of thanks to sweatshirt guy, ever since that day I’ve stowed an extra large, plain T-shirt in my purse whenever I go to vote - just in case a fellow voter is asked to cover up.

Until I read Monday’s Columbus Dispatch, it had never occurred to me that I might someday want to offer my spare shirt to a pollworker.

So, we here at PB have taken some heat for attacking Matt Naugle for his falsehoods and irrelevant personal attacks. I understand that some people think we are wasting our time, and to a certain extent, I understand that view.
But I also understand that the “most prominent right-wing blog in Ohio” has a responsibility […]

I’m not exactly sure what Matt Naugle’s problem is, but he seems unable to resist implying that Ted Strickland is gay, and prefers younger men. Let’s not forget the innuendos about Strickland’s vacation with a staffer, and that his wife may not even live with him. Of course, all of these “allegations” are […]

Wrap your head around a bit of beatbox flute:

How in the world did Oklahoma ever elect Senator Inhofe? Were they falling behind in the “crazy wingnut” race with their neighboring states? Not only does he religiously deny global warming, he’s now claiming the WMD justification for the Iraq War was a fabrication of the media! Inhofe now:
“The whole idea […]

(CNN) Leahy with the rimshot:
“You can’t erase e-mails, not today,” said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont. “They’ve gone through too many servers. They can’t say they’ve been lost. That’s like saying, ‘The dog ate my homework.’ “
OK, so that’s funny. Time for the not funny - no, sorry, it’s all pretty funny. In a […]

File under: WTF?
Was he late to the presser? Is he really that creepy? I mean, there is a whole damned porch there and Cheney is off in the bushes. This may not strike all the sam way, but it absolutely slays me:
