Showing the same keen appreciation of justice evident in its electoral activities, Florida is letting republiscum representative Mark Foley off the hook.
Foley achieved notoriety last year for DingDongDangling e-mails to young congressional pages.  But the communication technically didn’t take place in Florida, according to the state’s Department of Law Enforcement, so forget about it.
This is just one of the vile tricks being pulled in dark corners as the world gapes at apocalyptic headlines.
It’s the American Way!

The House of Reps voted last night to pass the most recent Seafloor Sodomy bill.
This is worth watching, especially if you’d like to visit the beach and not find it covered with oil-soaked birds and Chevron secondary offering prospectuses.
The oil industry plays the American public like a fiddle. Every time there’s a scary event, the refiners raise gas prices by a buck, and let it slide back 50 or 60 cents after the terror passes.
It’s the American way.
Note: this doesn’t concern you unless you live on the west coast, east coast, Gulf coast, Alaska border, anywhere in between, or …read more

Wow, this whole not talking about actual issues in the presidential race has even trickled down to Ralph Nader. Here is Nader spending 2:30 minutes complaining to his bird “Cardozo” about why his latest presidential bid isn’t getting enough media coverage. His possible solution, which he mutters along with other psycho drivel is that perhaps he should dress up as a panda.
Please pass this video along so that “Cardozo” can become the next presidential celebrity. On a side note, why the fuck is this guy running for president again?

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

As our crew of presidential sweat hogs continued their mutual urination fest this morning, fear-induced anal seepage splattered the floor of every  exchange and many a corporate boardroom.
As news of Lehman’s collapse and Merrill’s sale struck fear in the hearts of anyone with anything to lose, the gubmint strained its PR mechanisms to send out messages of hope, all with the same subtext: you’re all gonna die.
The Treasury Secretary sounded like a guy praising the Titanic’s hull structure even as he pushed old ladies and children out of the way to commandeer a lifeboat.
It’s not a good sign when the …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
