* No fags!

That's the only way I can really describe how the Obama Administration has left me feeling this week. We voted for him, and we'd do it again, because being ignored by the Administration is better than being hunted down from a helicopter with assault rifles.

But we are in a unique position - the product of an interracial, half black, half ( Read more... )

6:00 - Time for the single greatest political showdown in American history! Senator and known cannibal Joe Biden going toe-to-toe with inept moose-killer and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin! Who will triumph? Will Sarah Palin put together full paragraphs (exceeding expectations) or will she falter and release a stream of nonsense? Now we shall know!

( HERE IS THE REST! )

"So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans and trade... and trade, we've got to see trade as opportunity, not as competitive scary thing." [sic] - VP Nominee (and Meth User?) Sarah Palin

Seriously, people, listening to her talk is like listening to someone read ( Read more... )

SO LAUGHABLY INCOMPETENT

I remember watching the speech and going "what the fuck is with the green screen again?" and "What's with the random mansion - is that one of McCain's seven eight houses?" and all the things the Democratic Party would frankly WANT someone watching John McCain's speech to think.

Turns out some mouth-breathing tech guy was ( Read more... )

St. Paul has been disrupted by a string of angry anti-Republican protests lining the streets outside the GOP convention. As is often the case when the most powerful, wealthy, and well-connected white men in the country gather, riot police and secret service agents have been more than happy to throw you down and arrest one's ass for causing trouble ( Read more... )

West Virginia's primary results, in which race was an unusually overt factor, are a potent reminder of America's gruesome and persistent xenophobia. But I'm not talking about a landslide for the white candidate in a racist hick state today; rather, the state of immigrants awaiting deportation here in America.

To be really horrified by what's going ( Read more... )

Seriously. Vote for Obama today. He's the only person in this race who has any integrity left.

No, really. Trust me: He'd answer the phone at 3 a.m. He loves America well beyond any lack of jingoistic symbolism might suggest. He's not an anarchist bomb-thrower from a radical church. He's not a Secret Muslim™. And he has just as much "experience" as ( Read more... )

Let's talk a little bit about Hillary, and why I don't like her.
Here's the deal with Hillary Clinton - I liked her once. If she'd run in 2004, I would've been so psyched, so eager, so thrilled to see someone stepping up for the left when the country needed them the most. But she ran for her comfortable Senate seat that year, preferring to wait out ( Read more... )

6:30 - Tennessee is being torn apart by tornadoes. That's what they get for backing Hillary Clinton.

6:55 - fucking hillary. can't she have an aneurysm or something?
7:08 - OBAMA WINS NORTH DAKOTA, THE UNSTOPPABLE JUGGERNAUT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY MACHINE

7:10 - Huckabee is giving his "victory"  (23 states, incl. his own) speech about nailing the " ( Read more... )
