Why it’s the House Intelligence Committee’s massive Benghazi Inquiry! Sitting out there in the Friday news dump a whole report about Benghazi led by the Republicans. You know the one, the one that was going to topple President Born-to-Lie OrWe’llBlameHimAnyway and his right hand Benghazi stooge, Former Secretary Hillary ClintonCoverup. Well, none of that happened. Actually the opposite of that happened. Continue reading

As the numbers of rape victims at the hands of Bill Cosby increase, the nation sits stunned as the revelations mount and our collective consciousness tries to wrap its mind around what to do with this 77 year-old predator and, for many of us, life-long entertainer and educator. Continue reading
If you’ve heard about the backlash targeted at Lena Dunham recently, than you may have read a myriad of reactions to one singular passage Dunham describes in her memoir, Not That Kind of Girl . Dunham recounts an episode as a seven-year old where she touched her sister’s genitals and allegedly found pebbles therein — supposedly put there by the younger sibling as a prank. The description is graphic, visceral, and perhaps asks more questions than it answers about Dunham’s childhood, despite her claim that this was among the things she would do. Continue reading
It wouldn’t be election season in America without a special edition of the Once Daily Sausage. With most of the results now in the books, it’s time to slice open the electorate’s meaty casing and see which pig parts made it into our national pork product. Continue reading
Yesterday President Obama released this statement in support of net neutrality and asked the FCC to reclassify internet service as a public utility. Here is his very concise statement.
Hello Progressive/Liberal/Democrat/Reasonable People friends. It looks like as I write this at 11 PM of election day you have had a rough night. You got smacked. I am sad for you and I am sad for our country, but for the first time in many years I honestly don’t give a shit about national political races. Maybe if you gave a fuck about me and my neighbors, we would give a fuck about you. Continue reading
Eric Holder stunned the political world–or at least people who didn’t hear him last year say that he would leave this year–when he resigned Thursday. In a moving, tearful resignation speech, Holder thanked Obama, called Texas congressman Louie Gohmert an asshole, and announced he was leaving the law and returning to his first love: musical theater. Variety reports that Holder is in talks to play Det. Harris in the Broadway musical production of Barney Miller. President Obama wept openly, because he, too, loves Barney Miller so very much.
So now, Eric Holder belongs to the ages. Let’s look back at attorneys general throughout history, and see how Eric Holder stacks up. Continue reading
Political partisans tend to fall into the trap of mischaracterizing their opponents. This generally manifests itself as low-level innocuous stuff. Coastal liberals may think southerners are all gun-toting, bible thumpers or midwestern conservatives may think of city dwellers as metrosexual peaceniks. Most established, politically connected organizations would try to avoid getting tripped up by these common stereotypes. But most organizations are not the Heritage Foundation! Continue reading
“Adventures in Odyssey” is a production of Focus on the Family, with all the Real True Christian implications that that carries. Though from my standpoint, it’s pretty engaging and well done, except that it often brings you right back to its main point about how you are a sinner and need to accept Jesus. So, before we begin talking about the show itself, let’s start with a basic introduction to the people of Odyssey.
When I sat down to write this, I forgot how much there is to this radio show. That’s understandable, since this show has been airing for about 30 years, but that also means that one post isn’t going to be enough. Continue reading
Poor Doree Lewak of the New York Post just wants to “be that objectified sex thing for [the catcalling men of NYC]” because “hard hats need something to look at on their break.” Maybe they should try looking at the newspaper. “It’s as primal as it gets, ladies!” Not as primal as, say, bashing you in the head with a club, dragging you into a secluded area and raping you, but the sentiment is the same. A man who yells out positive and/or negative comments at a passing female stranger is operating under the same idea; the belief that women’s bodies don’t belong to them, but to the public, and as a part of public property, men have the right to judge them as worthy or unworthy bodies.
