The masters of the universe are at it again, acting to dismantle environmental regulations while John Q. Public is distracted by scary news.  It’s the old Kansas City Shuffle–you’re looking right while they’re going left.
The House is about to vote on allowing drilling on the coast, and the only thing the environment has on its side at this point is that a lot of republiscum don’t think the bill gives their oil refining masters enough tax cuts.  And it specifies drilling at least 50 miles out, not right on the effin beach.
Fifty miles out is nice–far enough away that you …read more

It’s becoming clearer every day what a miserable failure a George-John McBush/Lipsticks presidency would be. Yesterday, as American financial institutions crumbled to the ground, McCain stated that “the fundamentals of the economy are strong.”
Oh really. You mean the one where rich people got huge tax breaks so they could invest in sub-prime mortgages in order for little bread crumbs to trickle down for American Oliver Twist types? Yeah that one, the one that allowed itself to run wild in a big circle jerk fuck fest that gobbled up everything in its path and left only blood stained remnants on the …read more

At the moment there are all sorts of polls circulating about who will be the next ‘Decider’ of the United States of Bankruptcy America. Polls are coming out daily and after months of an Obama edge, we’ve now seen the momentum shift to the side of John “Big Tuna” McCain, who thinks that if he’s going to cook the food then he should be able to buy the groceries, or something.
Anyways, in uncertain times like these I look to the rock of financial stability, the bookies. While McCain might have a slight edge in the polls, he still does not …read more

All this Palin flogging is starting to reduce the ridicule richly deserved by both the presidential tickets. Frankly, I haven’t seen such a bucket of quivering electoral slime since Reagan got elected president the first time around.
So here’s a bunch of potshots fired by various loose cannons at all and sundry, starting with an imaginative listen at what might have ended up on John Kerry’s answering machine at the beginning of the year.
Don’t miss the links to various insulting images below the video. Viewers beware: no one who is capable of being offended by anything should …read more

As I was reading about the Bush bailout of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae last night, I wondered if either of the geniuses currently running for president in this mighty nation have any idea how much that $200 billion cash injection is going to cost the voters.
The I started thinking about that other little off-budget item, the cost of occupying Iraq, which may go over the $3 trillion mark. The interesting thing about that number, as explicated in the Washington Post, is that it started out as an estimate of $50 billion.
Il Douche’s administration runs up expenses like a contractor …read more

NBC news has announced that Chris Matthews and Ron Burgundy Keith Olbermann will not anchor MSNBC’s coverage during the presidential debates and on election night. Instead, David Gregory will get the nod and Matthews and Olbermann will be forced to cock fight, mostly off air.
This is serious though because MSNBC has become the counter to Fox News. Fox is obviously unfair and unbalanced and they are #1 on cable news because of it. The reason: Fox News doesn’t have to fight for an audience like CNN and MSNBC do. Those networks must share a largely left leaning audience while Fox …read more

This has been a painful few days watching the nazi republican party convention.
The republican platform for change said it all in who their keynote speaker was. Rudy ‘9/11′ Giuliani. A man who has profited off that horrific day with book sales and based his entire presidential bid on scaring Americans into voting for him.
Fortunately Giuliani’s scare tactics didn’t work for his own political gain, even with republicans. It seemed the more people saw of Giuliani the more they disliked him. That’s why he retreated to my old home state of Florida, camped out and ran outrageous fear mongering ads. …read more

For days the media has been all over the fact that separatist Gov. Sarah Palin’s 17 year old daughter Bristol is pregnant. Obama and his campaign have told everyone to lay off candidates children, something I agree with. But what is America to make of all this and who has the answers?
Luckily, respected American psychologist “Dr. Phil” decided to share his 2 cents on the Palin baby with Matt Lauer. Thank goodness for the wonderful insight from this TV personality who received his doctorate from the prestigious North Texas University.
Perhaps Dr. Phil can have a private consultation with Bristol. …read more

In case you missed it last night here is President George-John “Insane in the Membrane” BuCain endorsing the real change, “country first” candidate. You know, the one that voted with itself 90% of the time.
Probably the best thing Bush could have done for McCain would have been to come out and endorse Barack Obama.
But notice how John McCain wasn’t at the convention last night when Bush was speaking and how we never see them together these days. Is it possible that they, in fact, really are the same person now!?!

The Palin debacle is well on its way to being overdone news, but it’s hard to resist speculating on the course of the John McCain Insane-in-the-Membrane Train.
Admittedly, McCain generally displays the deft political footwork of a crash test dummy. But the choice of Palin is so idiotic that there must be more to it than just poor judgment.
So if McCain consciously chose to put Alaska baked trailer trash on his ticket, why did he do it? (Don’t miss amusing photos at Perez Hilton.)
The only truly plausible theory is that he’s going after the stupid vote. With a …read more
