Interesting bit of business regarding the oath of office.
On Daily Kos, the crazed lefty take is that John Roberts embarrassed himself “and the nation by getting something so simple – something memorized by every boy and girl in, like, the second grade – so excrutiatingly wrong.”
The rightwing nutjobs – represented by Rush Limbaugh (you don’t [...]

Oh, this is rich. Coming from a doctor who once made a diagnosis based on video footage, this is especially rich.
But fair enough. Africa needed the help and George Bush got it to them. Or at least, he got some of the help they needed to them. That was a good [...]

The first hurdle has been cleared. It’s kind of an amazing feeling, isn’t it? Yeah, I’m just as absolutely sappy about this election as you’d hope I wouldn’t be. It feels kinda like closing your eyes, wishing for something as hard as you can, and then that thing actually coming true. [...]

CNN has turned the debate into a video game.

Today, Bush had this to say to the Israeli Parliament:
“Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator [...]

Maybe you glanced at the news today and caught this gem coming out of Jonesville, S.C., where Pastor Roger Byrd of the Jonesville Church of God had got himself to thinking about the current presidential campaigns and just who these candidates thought they were. But it seems that Mr. Byrd didn’t get much further [...]

Anybody else watching this Frontline documentary? It’s basically 4 and a half hours outlining how we got to where we are with the war on terrorism. While we know how many holes there are in our government’s reasoning to take us into Iraq, it’s astounding – a-stound-ing – to see it all strung [...]

More fair and balanced from the Drudge.

If the Drudge Report isn’t the compendium of terrible Hillary photos, then I don’t know what is.

The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights claims that what Kathy Griffin said at the Creative Arts Emmys amounts to hate speech. My first thought was “Wow, only a rich head of a religious organization who wants to get plenty of PR so that his membership believes he’s a git-r-done kind of guy [...]

I hate to write political posts. I’m a terrible political thinker. It usually takes me a while to put two and two together. As distrusting as I am toward politicians, I find that I take them at their word more often than not.
However, on this the 4th anniversary of the… ahem… end [...]

She was as sweet as can be, no doubt. And she died way, way, way too young.
Her name is Taleshia Ford. She was 17. She was shot and killed in a DC nightclub on January 20th. Did you hear about this? Most likely, no.
There was also another young lady, Nyia [...]

Even though it looks and sounds like a joke… I think this is for real:
OJ Simpson: If I Did It, Here’s How It Happened
I have no words.

I stole all of the following text from Matt’s site. If you have a site, you should steal this from me.

I’m the last person to hear about this, maybe, but I direct you today to my good friend Brian Crane’s site, Crane’s Inanities so that you might click on the links provided and watch Stephen Colbert speak in front of the Bushes and the press, tearing both groups a new one.
Colbert has officially [...]

Did you catch this? Remember all the demonstrations in Nepal? He had seized power and was forced to give it back.
But the backstory of this royal family is dark as night.
Check it out.
Nepal’s Controversial King Gives Up Power

A man who set himself afire Monday just outside a White House gate reportedly worked for the FBI as an informant and was distraught over his inability to return to Yemen to visit his critically ill wife.
But then there’s this, too:
In an unrelated incident, a different man jumped the fence on the north side of [...]

Finally, here is proof that organized religion wants young, unmarried people to die of cancer.
For an extra kick, the URL itself is kinda funny.
Enjoy.

What a bad time to be gay and in love. I mean, it’s been hard enough for me to find girlfriends without people telling me that it’s gonna land me in Hell.
