No, I’m Sure The Same Old Economic Sanctions Will Suddenly Start Working

Wednesday, October 24, 2007 – 11:13 am

Due to the peculiarities of the Cuban-American community’s particular influence on American politics, the only person likely to fix our permanently broken policy towards the island country is a lame duck president with no further concerns about Florida electoral politics. And with Cuba potentially undergoing its first major change of government in roughly 50 […]

One In Four Americans Remain Stuck In The Dead-End

TPM Election Central notes that Bush’s approval rating is down to 25% in a new American Research Group poll.

I Remain Convinced He Somehow Orchestrated The Chan Ho Park Signing

Thursday, October 4, 2007 – 2:45 pm

This quote is 14 years old, but I don’t recall hearing it before and it sure does mirror everything we’ve come to know and love about our president. From an ESPN column concerning the baseball playoffs:
“I made my arguments and went down in flames. History will prove me right.” — Texas Rangers owner George […]

George Bush Doesn’t Care About Working Families

Wednesday, October 3, 2007 – 11:46 am

…Especially the health of their children. It really is that simple. If you vote Republican, you vote for 9 million American children to be denied health care through no fault of their own. And that applies to everything from preventative care for healthy children to treatment for children with life-threatening illnesses.

The Dirty Fucking Hippies Have Spread Their Filth To Approximately 2/3rds Of America

Tuesday, October 2, 2007 – 10:05 am

Americans hate our troops! They no longer want Congress to fulfill Dear Leader’s budget requests for the war, to the tune of 66%. This lack of patriotism cannot be tolerated. Forget doubling Gitmo; we’re going to need to turn the state of California into a massive torture facility.
Help us, Rush Limbaugh, you’re our only […]

Leave The Intellectual Laziness To The Pros

Monday, September 24, 2007 – 3:22 pm

Your sure to be endlessly repeated (with good reason) quote of the day:
This just in from the Irony-Free Department: A “senior official” in the White House of George W. Bush tells journalist Bill Sammon why Barack Obama won’t be the next president of the United States: Obama is intellectually “capable” of the job, the […]

16 Extremely Relevant Words

Thursday, September 20, 2007 – 12:17 pm

David Freddoso of the crew at The Corner highlights what he labels “One very good Bush line today“:
“I got a B in econ 101, but I got an A in keeping taxes low.”
I must concede the point; that is a very good Bush line. In fact, it may well sum up everything the right […]

Reason #Eleventy-Billion Why Our President Is A Ginormous Douche (As Reported Third-Handedly)

Monday, September 17, 2007 – 12:23 pm

Huge caveat on this post: While I trust the person who told me this story immensely, this is still a story told to me by a friend who heard it from an acquaintance who witnessed the event (and who must remain anonymous to the extent that I refer to him only as “an acquaintance”). […]

I Might Be Willing To Trade Another F.U. In Iraq For A Win In This Game (Just Kidding, Soldiers Who Are Being Forced By Our Asshole Commander In Chief To Spend Those Six Months In Hell)

Thursday, September 13, 2007 – 8:34 pm

So, I was planning to liveblog Douchebag’s prime-time address… But…
Well, I could listen to Broken Record Bush tell us to Stay the Course again, or I could continue watching my beloved Terrapins in a close (so far it’s 7-7 at the start of the 2nd quarter) nationally televised game against our fiercest rivals and […]

In Which I Take A Long Time To Say Something Rather Simple, Because It Is, After All, A David Foster Wallace Essay That Prompts My Eventual Point

Wednesday, September 12, 2007 – 1:27 pm

So… A few weeks ago, namely when I was on the plane for my Las Vegas trip, I started reading David Foster Wallace’s 2005 collection of essays, Consider the Lobster. I don’t like Wallace, per se, but I find some of his ideas fascinating enough and some of his humor amusing enough to […]
