July 2015

Hillary’s new campaign ad is right up my alley, using good old gothic horror movie argle bargle to tease at all the Republicans who are simultaneously not scientists but 110 percent sure there’s no such thing as Global Warming. This is really something I can wrap my head around.

Often enough, I tell myself that I’m too reflexively harsh on my ideological opposites…then I read stories like the lion slaying dentist this and Huckabee’s fucking dog torturing spawn, and I want to cut a bitch. He shot a tame lion that had been lured away from a national park. Why not just go to a zoo […]

Most Dangerous Games: Jumping Shoes

They say that it’s all fun and games until somebody loses an eye. Technically, the same applies to broken bones, gashed cheeks, poisoning, and third-degree burns. I was recently reminded by a childhood friend that as a kid I was always in a state of disrepair; something stitched up, something in a cast. My dad, […]

The same people who are bloviating about how a diplomatic solution to Iran’s nuclear weapons program is BAD are the same morons who told the American people that the United States could conquer the Middle East in a matter of weeks by invading Iraq. And who said that China would never join the war to […]

“In 18 months I’m turning over the keys. I want to make sure I am turning over the keys to somebody who is serious about the serious problems the country faces and the world faces,” Obama said. “And that requires on both sides, Democrat and Republican, a sense of seriousness and decorum and honesty,” he […]

my thought for the day

Friends, I never bought into the Christian Hell because, really, what needs to be worse than Khmer Rouge Cambodia, Rwanda, Buchenwald or Philadelphia in August? But I would like to see a little room in the Twilight Zone, where smug little pricks like Huckabee and Trump and Santorum have to watch TV news of smart, […]

Catfish and some Lobster

Pastor E. Dewey Smith of the House of Hope, Greater Travelers Rest church in Decatur gave an impassioned sermon, posted to YouTube on Thursday, in which he slammed church leaders for judging gay people but “you change wives like we change underwear.”He went on to criticize the habit of picking and choosing which parts of […]

Thanks to my friend Andrew for bringing this hilarity to my attention. Two veterans tackled an elderly protester aka victim of FOX News elder abuse – who rises like a corpse from the earth during President Obama’s Tuesday speech on veterans’ issues in Pittsburgh. The rightfully angry vets tore the zombie’s sign, which actually read: “The […]

Another Well-Regulated Militia

Body by Gold’s. The Rest is on God. Now, what is this exactly? Is this millennial irony? The Gold’s Gym shirt flopping over his pasty, noodle arms. The acid-washed jeans and that HAT plus shammy, what?And are those gourds hanging on the wall? Or are they weaponized butt plugs? His back up plan was very […]

Laws Have Been so eviscerated by the punishment-obsessed rightwing that you would almost need to be hallucinating and eating your own feces to meet the legal test of insanity. At trial, the insanity defense generally hinges on a person’s inability to distinguish right from wrong or understand the “nature and quality” of his act. Being profoundly […]
