Another month has come and gone, and slowly we’re all getting older and crustier. Here’s a look back at some of the highlights from June.
Prescription drugs kill more people than illegal drugs. We also learned that nobody in the state of Florida died from marijuana in 2007.
The fact that nobody died from marijuana in […]
Last night Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton appeared together at a fund raiser, not for his campaign though, to re-pay her campaign debts. Obama announced that he had personally written a check for $2,300 in honor of Mrs. Clinton’s unsuccessful do whatever the hell it takes to become the most powerful person on the planet […]
Holy cannelloni! It’s a spicy meataball! The Italian Club of Seattle has come out and criticized this political ad put out by the Washington State Democratic Party as being “racist.”
The ad against Washington state gubernatorial candidate and Italian American Dino Rossi (R) portrays him as having some shady business connections, pretty standard in politics. Problem: […]
If Barack Obama truly is the next JFK, he certainly needs a blond bomb shell to prove it. Happy birthday mister presidential hopeful because you’ve found that in Scarlett Johansson!
In a June 10th article on Politico.com, Johansson said “You’d imagine that someone like the senator who is constantly traveling and constantly ‘on’ — how can […]
The US economy needs a jump start and perhaps the presidential elections will be just the ticket. At the moment you can pick up John McCain condoms at McCaincondoms.com. Don’t think these are just novelty condoms either, they are in fact the real deal!

For awhile, many people were concerned that the smoking ban would bring an end to the Netherlands […]
This thought occurred to me a few days ago when I was writing that prescription drugs kill more people than illegal drugs. Marijuana of course, has never been known as a killer, unless you count the old government propaganda film Reefer Madness. But I wondered if it was even humanely possible to die from a […]
Did any new revelations come from Scott McClellan’s testimony to the House Judiciary Committee? Not really because dough boy Scott McClellan is a squirmy weasel that is a Jedi master in the art of spin.
McClellan’s book “What Happened” is a wonderful tale about what happened, without really telling what happened. Despite the fact that McClellan […]
Wow, that sure is a delicious looking latte! And it’s not just any old latte either, it’s a French brioche latte, served in a bowl. Why is it served in a bowl? Ask Al Gore, he knows. Perhaps it has something to do with the environment.
Al Gore’s elitist endorsement of Barack Obama last night was […]
