You know those lovely folks who have been attending Sarah Palin's speeches and screaming "kill him!" whenever she mentions Barack Obama? Turns out John McCain, the guy who is actually running for President on the Republican ticket, is none too happy about that: McCain has become alarmed...

Birds do it Bees do it Even people in the news do it Everybody (everyone) Poops Republicans and Democrats All of them are full of crap Everybody (everyone) Poops I don't know what song that is, but this t-shirt inspired me to sing. Kind of sums up politics in general. Very non-partisan as well. The...

Listen. There's a lot of noise being made this election season. Lots of questions. Big issues. But Bill Murray knows what's really important – when the hell are the Cubs going to win a playoff game? On this week's Thursday edition of Saturday Night Live, a "Mr. William Murray" stood...

"They" in this case is Rolling Stone magazine, and the article is a very long examination of many of John McCain's claims (McClaims? OK, OK, sorry…) I haven't read the whole piece , which online comes to ten pages. Radar's Fresh Intelligence blog summarizes the article this way...

Barack Obama definitely did that for me by telling reporters that he and wife Michelle would soon be celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary next week. Michelle's spokesperson quickly...

That's what the Rep. Paul Ryan, the ranking Republican on the House Budget Committee said about the bailout bill, according to ABC News. "It sucks." Yes, it's government by 10 year olds. They went on to report that Ryan thinks the bill "has to pass to preserve the free market system...

When I was a kid, I had posters on my walls. The biggest were of Reggie Jackson (great New York Yankee hitter from the late 1970's) and Superman (Christopher Reeve). This over five foot high Sarah Palin poster is presumably for adults, but I'm not sure if that's better or worse. That is,...
