MSNBC, CNN, FOX...Every time you leave a Live event to give me your fucked-up opinion I change the channel. Please wait until the President is finished taking before spouting off your irrational thoughts.

Today I saw a political bumper sticker that said, "It's time for another TEA PARTY." I thought this might be a good rebuttal bumper sticker (or t-shirt).

I propose a new amendment to the U.S. Constitution: "Separation of Corporation and State."

"If you think it's a socialist plot, then please drop out of the federal employees health program." -- Sen.Richard Durbin (D-IL)

I want you to look very closely at this picture and try and keep it in your minds eye. This was a perfectly healthy twenty two-year-old young man who in the service of his country got half of his head blown off. It is more important than American Idol or any other media claptrap.

Why did the Korean girls get DQ'ed after they won the gold in speed skating?

"I ran into this problem when I worked for [ESPN]. I couldn’t contain my disdain for Mike Lupica’s phony, arrogant shtick or Scoop Jackson’s ghetto posturing."

You would think the NBA would have far more to worry about: NBA bans Butler from chewing straws.

The most courageous performance of the Olympics
