You can tell it’s time for the midterms. The GOP has ramped up the “patriotic” banter, the flag-waving, and the notion that we’re supposed to be celebrating America’s great commitment to freedom for all. The July 4th holiday provides the… Read More ›
I have long admitted that we, as a group, were remiss in understanding just how dangerous Donald Trump was and in denial about the damage he could inflict on our nation. It is abundantly clear to us right now just… Read More ›
And now, it’s time for another episode of “The Good. The Bad. And the Ugly.” It is proudly brought to you by the American political establishment, in conjunction with the pack of moronic fuckwits who enable it (and we can… Read More ›
Part Two of America the Immoral took me longer than I anticipated to put together. Better late than never. Here you have it. The continued war on women is immoral at its very core. Apparently the GOP didn’t get the… Read More ›
Before I finish my post-election article, I am putting the text of an open letter to the GOP here. Please feel free to use portions of this letter to write to your GOP elected officials no matter where you are…. Read More ›
Okay, folks. I know you’re probably pretty tired of this stuff, but I have to do this one more time before D-Day. In the event that you are considering Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan for the next four painful years,… Read More ›
Over the last several days, the GOP has proved once again that it and its supporters are totally irrelevant, beginning with Donald Trump’s supposedly election-changing revelation about Barack Obama and ending with yet another GOP prospective lawmaker weighing in on… Read More ›
In fact, they suck out loud. How useful are they in their present format? Well, shit, we might as well all be sitting around eating pork rinds and watching Honey Boo Boo. And anyone who knows me will tell you… Read More ›
I’m definitely not gloating here. It’s waaaaay too soon to gloat. There’s plenty of time left before election day, and the times are decidedly weird. How anybody in this country (who isn’t millionaire status) could even be considering voting for… Read More ›
Ox-y-mo-ron: A figure of speech in which incongruous or contradictory terms appear side by side. [e.g., Gay Republican; Republican Women]. I apologize for not being vocal of late. Frankly, I’ve been on vacation taking a break from the political world… Read More ›
So, yesterday was a banner day in CrazyTown, USA (formerly known as Tampa, Florida). Hurricane Isaac saw the GOP coming and got the hell out of town. He got out just in the nick of time, it turns out, because… Read More ›
The GOP NutCake Bandwagon has officially pulled into CrazyTown, formerly known as Tampa, Florida, towing behind it the most vicious and extreme GOP Platform in the history of the party. I’m pretty sure Dwight D. Eisenhower must be turning over… Read More ›
Nobody should be surprised that Mitt Romney has chosen Paul Ryan as his running mate. The consummate candidate of the one percent had to fill out his ticket with the appropriate sidekick. If elected, you can be sure of the… Read More ›
Today the American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER) left some very good news in my mail box. AFER’s federal constitutional challenge to California’s Prop 8 is entering its final stage, and we are closer to disposing of this unconstitutional same-sex… Read More ›
Oh, yes, those incredibly savvy folks south of the Mason-Dixon line are at it again! Right now, I’m speaking about North Carolina. I’m going to put a quick disclaimer in here because I have at least one friend who lives… Read More ›
People know what I think of Scott Brown. He’s a bullshitter. I’ve been known to be one too with more than 30 years in advertising. One thing’s for sure. You can’t bullshit a bullshitter. This whole “common man” and “independent”… Read More ›
This whole J.C. Penney-One Million Moms thing is getting kind of irritating. First of all, there isn’t one million moms. I’m on Facebook a lot. I just went to their page. The group has 46,729 “likes.” Do the math. It’s not… Read More ›
It’s been a while since we’ve had one of these. I’ve been busy with fairly big stories and issues over the past few weeks, both here and on Veracity Stew. However, a number of small yet irritating items need to… Read More ›
Friday, April 20, is the National Day of Silence sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). On Friday, students in middle schools, high schools and colleges across the nation will take a “vow of silence” to draw… Read More ›
The religious right has erased even more of the line separating church and state. As AlterNet reports, last month 8,000 high-school students in Montgomery County, Maryland, went home with flyers informing them that nobody is “born gay” and offering therapy… Read More ›
There is absolutely no level to which the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) will not sink to marginalize and oppress LGBT Americans. This organization is on the front lines of the Prop 8 battle. It is attempting to overturn marriage… Read More ›
I know there were a bunch of GOP primaries yesterday, but I hold no hope for those bunch of misfits. I was focused on a Democratic primary in Ohio where, I believe, the GOP targeted Dennis Kucinich for removal from… Read More ›
Rush Limbaugh, although pretty much at the top of the asshat list, isn’t the only news this week. There are some other things we can talk about. Some are positive. Some are negative. Without further adieu, let’s see where this… Read More ›
Oh, it’s been a banner week for sure, and I’ve got plenty to say. There’s (mostly) good news on marriage equality. We had CPAC. And she’s baaaaack (yes, Ann Coulter). So, without further bullshit, let’s begin. The Spin Doctor is… Read More ›
For those of you who do not know Scott Lively, I can give you the most simplistic description: He’s another right-wing nut cake spreading lies and fear about LGBT Americans. However, that may be a bit too simplistic. More specifically,… Read More ›
I don’t know about you, but at least when Michele Bachmann was still in the hunt I found some comic relief in the GOP clusterfuck of presidential politics. Not anymore. Now we’re left to endure three of the biggest asshats… Read More ›
“Homosexuality gave us Adolph Hitler, and homosexuals in the military gave us the Brown Shirts, the Nazi war machine and six million dead Jews.” – Bryan Fischer, AFA director of issue analysis for government and public policy, 2010 With the… Read More ›
In case you hadn’t heard, Mitt Romney is a moderate with progressive views. He’s also not partisan. At least that’s what he told us in 2002. I don’t know about you, but I completely missed that about him even then…. Read More ›
There are just some things that happen, particularly when election season heats up, that defy logic. They may not be entirely story worthy, but collectively, these little “events” are big enough to make you wonder WTF people are thinking. It’s… Read More ›
I suppose that this particular post is not what one would expect as a “first” with all the Occupy events in the news these days, but this issue has been a thorn in my side for quite a while. As… Read More ›
