Akin, Ryan, and Walsh, the “No Exceptions” Anti-Abortion Crusaders

Just when you think the Republicans have learned their lesson when it comes to speaking about all the mystical goings on inside enchanted lady-wombs, here they go again, proving that they should just come forth and say that they really believe magic storks should bring babies down from Heaven or Nova Scotia, or Xanadu, whatever. Women, yeah, you need not apply. Continue reading

Joaquin Phoenix Rejoins Hollywood Just to Complain About Hollywood

Remember when Joaquin Phoenix was this inexplicable star on the rise? When he shocked us with his creepily stunning portrayal in Gladiator, and the soul-bearing performance he gave in Walk the Line, both of which he received Oscar nominations for? And then remember when he and Casey Affleck, who we haven’t seen recently despite his brother’s rise, did that little experimental project where Phoenix mumble-rapped as a hygienically-challenged crazed hobo? Yeah, well, Phoenix has decided to appear back in fighting Oscar contender form this year with the critically acclaimed The Master, but also not totally let go of that weirdo, stage-falling bearded nutter-bum of a persona. Continue reading

Attention Everyone! Big Bird Is Done Being Exploited

No Muppet has ever been as “mad as hell and not going to take it anymore” than Big Bird. Ever since Mitt Romney, childhood-killing, numbers hater said he would defund PBS and effectively fire Big Bird, well, the Bird has had it. PBS sent a stern message to the campaign calling Romney some sort of soul-stealing, dream bashing wizard (none of that is true except the parts that are), and when Obama’s re-election campaign used Big Bird’s image in an ad, the Sesame Workshop also reached out and sent their campaign a cease and desist letter. Naturally all the hub-bub surrounding Big Bird has made the long-time childhood friend popular in other circles including the Halloween market. Oh, geez. Yandy.com. Continue reading

Josh Romney Will Fry Your Face Off With His Laser Eyeballs

Fucking Josh. Well, we all heard what other Romney son, Tagg, wanted to do to the president during Tuesday’s debate. Haha. Oh, Tagg. That is your real name isn’t it? It’s actually “Tagg” with double the “g?” Brilliant. You’re like an ABC Family Switched at Birth conundrum co-starring the Palins of the shit-silliest Alaskan branch of American idiots. So, er, yeah, Tagg, buddy. You wanted to take a swing at the sitting POTUS? That’s a lot of entitled ball swinging there. But sure. Hey, it’s a free country. You know, when the Secret Service are done sexing up ladies in South America, we’d also like them to pay you a visit to discuss the fun-filled history surrounding acts of treason. Oh, but your brother Josh? Wow, intense much? Continue reading

How Scared Are We For Tonight’s Debate?!


Let’s not even check to see what Andrew Sullivan is doing. We have the feeling he’ll be watching the debate in airplane “kiss your ass goodbye” position and that’s helpful for no one. But what we can say is that according to all the pundits, everywhere, this debate could mean the difference between staying in your home come January or booking that one-way ticket to Costa Rica. Good God! Did Rush Limbaugh ever buy a home there?! Continue reading

Paul Ryan Outed as an Opportunistic Jerk… Again

Urgh. It really doesn’t get much worse than this, folks. This is one of those things that’s just so debased and boneheaded you really have to wonder what the thought process was. Early yesterday pictures circulated of Vice President Nominee, Paul Ryan, and his family, washing dishes at a soup kitchen in northeastern Ohio. Late yesterday the head of the charity confirmed the rumor that it was all a lie, and Ryan “did nothing” while there. Continue reading

The Walking Dead Recap: Finally Discovering that this is In Fact a Zombie Apocalypse

When we last saw the Grimes group and what was left of Hershel’s family, the two factions had together come to the realization that in a zombie apocalypse “safety” is an abstract concept. With the incineration of Hershel’s farm, after a zombie horde had all but overrun it, what we were left with was a badly battered group trying to decide their next move. But whatever that move was to be, they were going to have to do things differently — and that meant there was going to be one rule of order. One rule or everyone dies. Continue reading
