Fixing the Holes in the Net
If you’d told me I’d ever agree with anything Wayne LaPierre, the National Rifle Association’s executive vice president and spokesman, said, I’d have thought you were crazy.
Say What?
Are right-wingers really so far gone and lacking in American ideals that they think being a bully and a coward is something to admire?
Tuesday Bag o’ Pussy
Criticism of Obama is agenda-driven (that agenda being total opposition to anything a a black Democrat president does) and would be just as nasty no matter what he did. Killing Osama bin Laden? Total pussy. Busting up dozens of planned terrorist plots against American targets? Total pussy. Preventing a repeat of 9/11? Total pussy. Bombing ISIS? Total pussy. Ah, but if Putin drops a few bombs on ISIS, more than a year after Obama started dropping bombs on ISIS, he’s a real man, right?

They love to point out that Senator Robert Byrd, a Democrat, was once a member […]
