It's nice, David Frum, that you drew out your slingshot, and fired some rocks at The Cheeseburger That Sweats , especially knowing that the Flying Monkeys and Dittoheads will, likely, be sending you some nasty, vile vibes back at you. Or that anyone in the PartyofNoicans would get behind you with it...

Black people (so demanding!) weren't satisfied with one protest of the New York Post and the paper's shitty non-apology for Sean Delonas' racist chimp cartoon. What's behind this? Lots of history! The brief backstory: The Post is a right wing rag and has always been pretty well hated by New York's b...

Blagojevich was charged with trying to sell Presi...

Boy, whatever happened between Team Blagojevich and Team Obama regarding Obama’s old senate seat it must be pretty damning, given the amount of 3rd grade word parsing contained in the Obama Whitewash Report . I mean the damn thing is incoherent and self contradicting! For example: The Presiden...

The “trend toward dynasty politics” is getting out of hand, Charles Mahtesian argues in Politico. [Obama's] secretary of state will be Hillary Clinton, the wife of the former president. The Senate seat she’ll vacate is being pursued by Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of a president and ...

Marin Luther King must be rolling in his grave. The ghost of the man who was wiretapped, infiltrated and hounded by Robert Kennedy's Justice Department, has to be irked that the first born son of his favorite disciple has been a rat for the past ten years. It turns out that Jesse Jackson, Jr. was mo...
