Happy Birthday John McCain!


My friends, John McCain (seen here yelling at a cloud) was born on August 29, 1936. He turns 72 today. The Republican candidate for president is also scheduled to announce his vice presidential running mate today. Coincidence? Mayhap McCain wants to divert attention away from his age and the fact that, [...]

McCain Will Tax You More


The most misleading phrase of the decade has to be “straight talk express.” As this Time Magazine piece explores, John McCain has deviated from what once made him The Maverick®. He gets snippy with the interviewer and adamantly refuses to define Honor.
But something that’s even more misleading than the maverick myth [...]

Applebee’s Fine Dining


I never worked at Applebee’s. I never referred to myself as “Applebuddy Ryan.” And I certainly have never eaten at Applebee’s.
All of the above things are of course not true. Despite my best efforts, the memory of my six months of waiting tables at Applebee’s so many years ago lingers [...]

Chris Matthews in PUMA PRIDE


Chris Matthews’ Giant Fucking Head® interviewed two ignorant, irrational Hillary Clinton supporters “who didn’t like how the democratic process played out” and are now vowing to vote for John McCain. They didn’t like how the democratic process played out. They actually said those words. These people are beyond sore losers. They [...]

Fox News Asks the Tough Questions?


Fox News never lets US down with its patented fear mongering and Obama trashing. Now they’re incorporating Joe Biden. Apparently Obama + Biden = Osama Bin Laden. Not Babe Domain.

Oddly enough, Fox News has always used the Usama spelling when referring to the terrorist mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks. [...]

Biden’s Speech


Theatrics aside, Biden gave a damn good speech. At one point he almost said “America” instead of Obama. The speech starts around fifteen minutes into the video.

Biden His Time


According to ABC News’ deliciously titled Political Punch blog, the Secret Service has been dispatched to the (singular) residence of Delaware Senator Joe Biden to “assume the immediate protection.” NBC News is reporting that Indiana Senator Evan Bayh and Virginia Governor Tim Kaine are out. Of course no official word has come yet. [...]

Bigfoot or Big Fake?


Here goes all of my blogger credibility. (If I ever had any.) This is just too much fun to pass up.
A group of researchers claim they may be in possession of the body of (ready?) Bigfoot.

What does war look like?


While The Decider ogles Olympic volleyball players in China, a fucking war is raging between Russia and Georgia. Not that we here in America would know seeing as how sex and scandal always outsells despair and anguish. Georgians are literally begging for America’s help and telling the story of a great betrayal by [...]

Clue 2: The Clueing


Clue, the 1985 film based on the Parker Brothers board game of the same name, is my all-time favorite film. I’ve seen it at least a hundred times and know every line by heart. So you could imagine I was a bit distraught after finding out that there could be a remake on [...]

Bernie Mac Has Died


The world is a sadder place today. Comic genius Bernie Mac has died.
Bernie Mac’s under appreciated Fox sitcom, The Bernie Mac Show, is probably the best example of the late actor/comedian’s range. Here was a show that very well could have been The Cosby Show of its generation. Unlike most sitcoms and [...]
