Politico: The “Double Rainbow” YouTube Guy Says Obama Can Totally Win
Where would we be without the valuable political insight provided by Politico. You remember this guy. His video of a double rainbow went viral because he looked like a blithering moron in it, wondering loudly and repeatedly what this natural and completely explainable phenomenon meant. So clearly we should turn to him for insight into the [...]
Newspaper Correction of the…Year
16. December 2011
Holy mother… Editors’ note: This posting contains multiple, serious factual errors that undermine its premise. Mitt Romney is not using “Keep America American,” which was once a KKK slogan, as a catchphrase in stump speeches, as the posting and headline stated. In a YouTube video that the posting said showed Romney using the phrase, Romney [...]
Nikki Haley to Endorse Romney Tomorrow
16. December 2011
Not a surprise. She supported him in 2008, too. But will her endorsement help him clinch South Carolina? That’s uncertain. Via Twitter, her approval rating is actually abysmal in the state. Keeping in mind this is conservative South Carolina. This is a state that tolerated Mark Sanford until his term ended. Worse yet, her approval [...]
Christopher Hitchens has died
16. December 2011
Christopher Hitchens, with whom I disagreed on religion but found an ally on issues like national security and support for western values, has died. Vanity Fair, for which he was a columnist, reports the author and critic has succumbed to esophageal cancer more than one year after he was diagnosed. He was 62-years-old. Vanity Fair [...]
Breaking: Congress to Block Incandescent Light Bulb Ban
16. December 2011
Compromise legislation to continue funding the government after the year’s end will contain a provision blocking the Department of Energy from enforcing a ban on incandescent light bulbs, Politico reports. GOP and Democratic sources tell POLITICO the final omnibus bill includes a rider defunding the Energy Department’s standards for traditional incandescent light bulbs to be [...]
Democratic Lawmaker Calls GOP Governor Martinez “The Mexican on the Fourth Floor”
15. December 2011
Wow. A Republican legislator said she was verbally assailed by House Majority Whip Sheryl Williams Stapleton during a committee break at the Capitol on Wednesday and that the Democratic leader angrily referred to Gov. Susana Martinez as “the Mexican on the Fourth Floor.” Rep. Nora Espinoza, R-Roswell, said Stapleton accused her of publicly questioning her [...]
Romney Favors Three-Tier Marriage System
15. December 2011
Tell me again how this guy is going to appeal to moderates. Expressed support for a constitutional amendment that could create a complex three-tier system of marriage — maintaining marriage rights for straight couples, allowing gays who have already married to remain married, but barring future same-sex marriages. Which has absolutely no chance of being [...]
Sandusky’s Lawyer: He was teaching kids how to use soap
15. December 2011
I look forward to the defense team telling this to a jury. A jury that will then proceed to laugh so hard the judge will have to provide them with clean underwear. “Some of these kids don’t have basic hygiene skills,” Rominger told the television station, presumably with a straight face throughout. “Teaching a person [...]
Flashback: Romney Said He Wouldn’t Run on the Republican Ticket
15. December 2011
Another flashback to the 2002 campaign. Keep in mind this is a time when President Bush’s approval rating was pretty high. We’re less than a year after the September 11th attacks, Iraq has yet to happen, and the nation is feeling pretty good about their president. He was far from the disastrous political situation he [...]
National Review’s Despicable Behavior
15. December 2011
There are some tactics so despicable that it doesn’t matter who you support: They’re just wrong. Such is the case with National Review’s behavior as of late. Apparently lacking the cojones to go on the record and fully endorse Mitt Romney, they’ve taken to sniping at his most viable competitors. Their latest edition is almost [...]
