Let me first say that I applaud Mr. Assange, the founder of wikileaks, for the information that he has seen fit to provide the world concerning the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. As a libertarian who doesn’t believe in the rightness our recent International Adventurism, I’m very glad to have access to the raw information […]

I guess, though, that we should have expected this kind of shit from a douche-nugget like Moore: (I do think that an NPR journalist who accepts money from Fox News for his work a regular commentator should be a firing offense, but that’s another story.) [. . .] P.P.S. Here’s something else that I’d sincerely […]

A Perfect Example

Apparently, Steve Pearlman of The Washington Post thinks that the reason people are leaning Republican this election has nothing to do with really shitty policy and strict party line votes on highly unpopular bills in defiance of the will of the people, but because we’re too stupid to resist our feelings. As for the details […]

The Infantilization of America

Who Would Have Thunk It?

Thanks for the Afterthought, Stanley

Prominent academic and literary theorist Stanley Fish offers his insight on the “Tea Party Problem”, yet from a different angle than the rest of the national chatocracy: that the ways in which the terminally libertarded attack the Tea Party, that it’s little more than a movement of the stupid, is unproductive, making the Tea Party […]

Asking the Right Questions

The American Spectator on polling Obamacare popularity: ObamaCare booster Jonathan Cohn [. . .] notes that “While 40 percent of respondents said they supported repealing the Affordable Care Act, more than half changed their minds (leaving just 19 percent in favor of repeal) when pollsters mentioned that it’d mean letting insurance companies exclude people with […]

Praytell

John Gruber of Daring Fireball: Anti-Masturbation Candidate Wins Republican Senate Primary in Delaware “The Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery. You can’t masturbate without lust!” You can’t make this shit up. Praytell, John; is a candidate who’s neutral on masturbation better able to govern? Or does one need be pro-masturbation? Because, […]
