I’ll be honest, I had high hopes for an all out moron-a-thon of a Republican primary leading up to 2012. But other than the Palin doppelganger from Minnesota, the race has been pretty bland. And even Bachmann has done a pretty good job of keeping the muzzle on, aside from fringe slip-ups like wishing Elvis [...]

Kick the tires and light the fires, Basil Marceaux is coming to town

Politics is a tricky racket. It goes without saying – well, these days maybe we need a reminder – that a degree of intelligence is required to get into the game. Not too much though. It’s like those tests they administer for Who Wants To Be a Millionaire – you must be this dumb to [...]
Uncle Sam, Get Outta My Jock: The Death of the Working Man

The days of the American working man are over. You don’t have to be William Sanford to know that. Thanks to economic specialization and its necessary counterpart, globalization, the phrase “Buy American!” is no longer relevant. Of course. What’s to buy? That is to say, what does U.S. have to offer by way of exports? [...]

Remember the good ole’ days in Texas? When a man had a dispute with another man, or a woman, or a dog, or a bottle of Jack Daniels, he would pull out his Colt revolver and blast the offending party to high hell in the middle of the saloon. Well, the state Senate, apparently feeling [...]

If you can figure this out, you win today’s prize (TBD). (hint: I would have shopped in Bob Graham, Richard Shelby, and Porter Goss, but who has the time?)

According to one “news source,” our pinko-commie, America-hating, lying, back-stabbing, megalomaniac president spent his first 100 days destroying the moral fiber of this country, furtively privatizing all its industries for personal gain, channeling Stalin, exploiting white guilt, deliberately bankrupting us, and having sex with Hugo Chavez. And you thought he was just trying to get [...]
Who’s the limey git who ordered the ‘cut and run’?

The UK ended operations in Iraq today, prompting Iraqi’s to ask, “Where did all the smart Americans with funny accents go?” Now who’s going to make 5 o’clock tea? You can’t trust the Slovaks to do it properly. What, they left too! I bet when they left the base the Americans couldn’t help throwing a [...]
I’m not saying swine flu is Obama’s fault

I’m just not saying it isn’t. wink wink, nudge nudge! Michele Bachmann and Pajamas Media are like a match made in Glenn Beck’s personal vision of heaven. Pajamas Media, in case you didn’t know, was one of the main organizing forces behind the Tea Parties. And Congresswoman Bachmann has a rather infamous penchant for trying [...]

Jonathan Mann (whoever that is) putting some of John Yoo’s 2002 torture memo to song. The memo, part of a series of memos released this week, is the infamous “torture memo” which, according to everyone in San Francisco, signifies the root justification for all “enhanced interrogation techniques,” is drawing out the Iraq War, persuaded Monsanto [...]
Don’t tax me, bro!

This is so stupid I’m not really sure where to start. I guess taxes would be the best place, considering the protests were staged on the final day for filing. I find it somehow hard to believe that all the people holding signs with taxation rhetoric are part of the highest 5% of earners that [...]
