It's been done before, but this is pretty damn funny.

I'll say this: if anything, the Sarah Palin nomination for VP has done one great thing. We now see The One flailing like a drowning cat trying to recover his "lead" in the presidential race. Having given up momentarily and shifted his fire away from Sarah Palin, he decided to take ...

I titled this post "rage" because it is only word to describe how I feel right now. Pure, unadulterated rage. Not anger. Not frustration. Rage.
Once again, the leaders and stockholders of an American business have failed in their legal and fiduciary responsibilities to their customers, their fellow citizens, and their government. The failure of AIG's leadership to do their own due diligence in the bond insurance they issued is horrifyingly massive. An $86 billion bailout? ARE YOU FRAKKING KIDDING ME?!?!

There are days in my life when I cannot believe the things I read on the Internet. Over at a site called the "Center for the Advancement of Capitalism", a male adult of questionable intelligence and lacking any moral foundation worth mentioning has written a horrific post which attacks parents...

As our government tries to wrestle with the details of the single largest buyout of economic assets in the history of the world -- necessitating raising our statutory debt limit by over $1 trillion -- I think that we need to consider a couple of things.

The news on the buyouts gets worse as time goes on. Hank Paulson is channeling John Maynard Keynes. Now, he not only wants to bail out irresponsible bankers here in the United States, but word is out on the street that he wants the authority to bail out foreign bankers, too.
What in the...

The government bailout plan -- which I have now decided is a VERY BAD idea (see below for more details) -- like any government "plan", needs a witty and catchy acronym. Prompted by a post at National Review Online's The Corner I would like to suggest "Secured Housing Investment Trust", or S.H.I.T. Why? Because this a single big bad of manure that is being foisted on the American people.

Joe Biden is an asshat.
“When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened,” Sloe Joe Biden told CBS News.
Hey Joe, better brush up on your history.
Franklin Delano Roosev...

I thought the Palin pick was brilliant. But the move to "suspend campaigning" in order to debate one bad idea after another is downright stupid. Use the bully pulpit of the campaign to push for the right kind of approach. Use the bully pulpit to display your leadership, your unders...

Fat Jack Murtha, D-Johnstown, PA is getting sued. The Congressman -- a Marine turned ratfucking bastard and unindicted co-conspirator in ABSCAM -- is being sued by one of the "Haditha" Marines he accused of "cold blooded murder". Without evidence, without trial, without jury, Fat Jack Murtha abandoned his fellow Marines, and turned his back on Semper Fidelis. What is latin for "Always a Cocksucker"?
More here.
By the way, let us also not forget that Fat Jack is one of the fattest cats in the earmark game, going so far to hold an annual "party" to fund his campaign war chest in Crystal City for Defense Contractors.
That's clean government you can believe in!
