I am really curious to hear how the wingnuts spin this one: Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November, 2007, according to American officials and Department of Defense documents. Al […]
Will the lady who knocked down the Pope become the Vatican’s version of the Salahis?
I hope everyone has a great day filled with love and joy while celebrating with their family and friends. I even extend this to those on the right, with whom we spend the rest of the year butting heads. And a very special Merry Christmas to Eric Erickson of Red State, who has apparently really […]
Somebody just took a big dump in the Christmas stocking of all the wingnuts: A report by the Congressional Research Service says ACORN hasn’t broken any laws in the last give years, but the filmmakers who secretly taped ACORN workers may have violated state law.

She and a friend who went with her lasted only one semester. “Hawaii was a little too perfect,” Palin writes. […]
Talk about the duh moment to top all duh moments: In a closed-door meeting of his caucus, the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, told Democrats that Republicans were not interested in passing a bill. In effect, he prepared them for trench warfare, saying the Democrats must stick together and should be ready to […]
A story being pushed by Drudge is about tonight’s address by President Obama and how it conflicts with ABC showing A Charlie Brown Christmas. I’m sure this will be taken by people like O’Reilly as a massive first strike in the War on Christmas. Luckily the tragedy has been adverted as ABC has rescheduled the […]
It looks like some Texas charities are trying to ascertain a child’s status as a legal resident or not before allowing them to receive gifts in their toy drives: They don’t claim to know who’s been naughty or nice, but some Houston charities are asking whether children are in the country legally before giving them […]
