Dear Senator McCain, although I mostly respect you and your career, I would just like to wish you and your presidential campaign a giant Fuck You for legitimizing Sarah Palin in the eyes of middle America. You have left us with political herpes. Sincerely, The rest of America.

Can we stop calling it "defense" spending?

One of the great things about the United States, that sets apart from a tyrannical dictatorship, is that it's a nation whose government is bound by the rule of law. The President cannot, for example, order the extra-judicial assassination of citiz... wait, never mind.

The truth is that given the state of American politics, the way the Senate works is no longer consistent with a functioning government.

What are the Teabaggers really for? Christianity, permanent war against Islam, rounding up illegals (did you hear Tancredo?) and a culture war against the cities and "unreal Americans". Unreal means not Christianist.

Who else is tired of geriatrics doing the Superbowl halftime shows?

New Orleans Moves To No. 3 In NFL Power Rankings

Interview with Drew Brees in August 2006: "This city and I — we have some similarities. A lot of people think we may not come back.” The first time in a huddle, he said "I’m here to lead you to a Super Bowl and anything else is despicable."

Heisman winner Tim Tebow bashes Abortion in Super Bowl commercial? Hardly - you couldn't even tell what the advert was about.
