Beaver Currency Passes US Dollar

Well, it’s official, the Canadian dollar is now worth more than the US dollar. The Canadian dollar had been riding our ass for a bit now but I really didn’t think it would actually pass us! But alas, it sadly has.
I was just in Canada 6 weeks ago and 1 US dollar still got you […]

Ann Coulter’s Gone Wild Again

Oh that crazy gal, she really has some grapefruit size balls and she’s been back at it again, big time. Some recent comments include “If we took away a women’s right to vote we would never have to worry about another Democrat president.”  
In reference to Hillary Clinton, she said she would fight her presidential campaign because […]

Iraqi’s Learning Democracy, Suing Blackwater

Iraqi’s are a little sick and tired of Blackwater USA ”security forces” killing them and having to answer to the laws of Noplaceland. So apparently someone told them that under their new democracy they can sue people for what they deem inappropriate conduct that harms them in some form.
So some families of dead Iraqi’s have decided to […]

Around the Internets…

Blackwater USA continues to lead the effort to win the hearts and minds of Iraqi’s by killing them. Problem is that many Iraqi’s want them brought to justice, problem with that is that they are governed by the laws of Noplaceland.

Banned Book Week-Spotlight on “Catch-22″

In case you didn’t know, this is banned book week. The point is to address the issue of censorship in books and remind us of an important part of our democracy that we should not take for granted.
My personal favorite, that has been banned in certain places and times is “Catch-22.”  It’s such a great piece of […]

Fight Extreme With Extreme

This is Congressman Peter King (R-NY) stating that there are “too many mosques in this country.” He discusses how we can “infiltrate” these radicals by using an equally radical ideology, it’s the only way really. It’s kinda like if your neighbor has too much gaudy shit in his yard that you don’t like, you can’t […]

Australian Comedians Bash and Crash of APEC

These are the Aussie guys responsible for crashing ‘The Decider’s’ hotel in Sydney last week for the APEC conference. This is hilarious stuff with them doing random “security checks” on people. They even fool one real security guard by saying that he was outranked and that what was going on was classified at his level. […]

6 Year Anniversary of 9/11

Well, its been 6 years since 9/11 and it seems like yesterday that lots of Republicans were constantly reminding us of it. Oh wait, it was just yesterday, and today and every other day.
We must constantly be reminded of 9/11, if we accidentally forget when we ride the subway or enjoy a football game […]
