Comrade Cletar’s fabulous haiku works around the subject of the Iowa caucus made me think we should harness more of that poetic creativity here at Crasstalk.
I propose the poetry type be a Shakespearian sonnet. (The link will refresh those who have forgotten the sonnet rules.) The subject Michelle Bachmann her manly husband Marcus, disappointment and unrequited love. Continue reading
Ok, you guys are not a lot like Iowa. Here are the details of your responses. Continue reading
We’ve learned today that Michele Bachmann, our favorite Admiral in the fight for America’s freedom, hopefully wrestled away from the dirty Kenyan while using the Ronald Reagan sword of mercy and defiance, will be ending her campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. A crushing defeat in Iowa last night sealed her fate, and really made it rather ridiculous to continue, but the biggest loser here is us, those of us who will miss her contribution to the world of politics — and by extension comedy.

Yes, so, it comes down to this. Are we excited about tonight’s outcome? Yes! Either Romney, or one of these people who’ve seen a surge in their popularity for the simple reason of not being Mitt Romney could walk away with the whole she-bang! What will they get at the end of the night? Nothing, really, because soon they’ll have to battle it out in New Hampshire. And let’s not forget that Mike Huckabee won this thing in 2008 and didn’t get the nomination, so really all that matters is who drops out of the race tomorrow, right? Right. Continue reading

Here are our picks for the best (and by best we mean lulzy) political moments of the year. Continue reading
It’s a good thing there’s nothing out there called a Pro-Death Teletown Hall, because wouldn’t that be an interesting meeting full of nutjobs? Anyway, four of your favorite GOP Presidential Candidates, in preparation for the big Iowa Caucus Debutante Ball, met to discuss “personhood” the much debated terminology pro-lifers have recently adopted in efforts to create legislation as it pertains to abortion in this country.

Jim Sensenbrenner, a Republican Congressman from Wisconsin, has drawn some attention to himself after FishbowlDC reported an overheard phone conversation at Reagan International Airport.
A “Democratic operative” reportedly heard the “very loud” conversation between Sensenbrenner and someone on his staff about comments that the representative had made at a church event three weeks ago. After a woman at the event praised the first lady in conversation with him, Sensenbrenner told the staff member that he responded that Michelle Obama “lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself.” Continue reading
Stupid person, and presidential candidate, Rick Perry, believes Kim Jong the Second died yesterday. Can we say that it’s possible “two” is the highest he can count, so this is why he remains stuck there forever? Continue reading
Well, would you look at that? That was quick. After a couple weeks of demented political darlingship, everyone’s favorite bloviating Hutt may have smirked his way into the background yet again.
Newt Gingrich isn’t polling well in the battleground state of Iowa. Continue reading
