Maybe, Just Maybe…

on October 27th, 2012 at 11:09 am

Maybe a candidate who takes the advice and money of billionaires and right wing nuts really will give them the keys to the White House. Maybe a super-rich aristocrat pushing policies that benefit the rich and punish the poor really is trying to divide America. Maybe a guy who wears brownface, feels Mexicans mistreated him, and opposes the Dream Act […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Characteristics of Cults

on October 26th, 2012 at 10:16 am

While Mormons like to say they’re no crazier than other religions, it’s apparent that when you actually compare them, Mormons have them beat by a mile.

on October 24th, 2012 at 10:51 am

Karl Rove’s Benghazi Attacks Have Roots in Utah

on October 17th, 2012 at 10:06 pm

Karl Rove ran cover for Mitt Romney during the Republican primaries. Whenever Gingrich or Santorum or one of the other candidates would get close, Rove would show up on Fox News and shoot them down.

The Sham of Republican Conservatism

on October 17th, 2012 at 2:11 pm

It took me a while, but I finally figured it out. I have to give Republicans credit, over the years they’ve developed such a complicated shell game that I genuinely thought they had some depth and principle.

Twelve days ago, Mitt Romney looked like a sure loser, a severe conservative vulture capitalist who only cared about the rich.
