"War Has Got to Be A Last Option . . . I Believe that America Has to Exercise All Options"

Right. Buckle up, because we’re about to jump on the Hate-on-Palin bandwagon. Firstly, when a vice-presidential candidate evokes bitter articles from people from her own home state, political party, political faction, and gender, who used to consider her a close friend, that’s a bad sign. Secondly, when a vice-presidential candidate stalls her way through two [...]

Terrorist Fist Jab vs. Chest Bump: Fox News Shoots Itself In the Foot

To the left, we see Anna Kournikova and George H. W. Bush giving each other a gesture of mutual “greeting, departure, or respect,” known as “the pound”. Yet when Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama reproduce the same gesture, Fox News calls it a “terrorist fist jab” (see video after the jump). Fox also [...]

Whassup, Bitches?: Female Chauvinism's Place is in the Garbage.

This poll discussed over at Slate in the article “Man Up!” found that “Despite the recent frenzy of media attention over the issue of race in America, a new poll by CBS (PDF) suggests that gender may cause more problems for contemporary presidential contenders.

We train people to kill non-US citizens, and then they kill US citizens. You’d think all people were created equal or something. So [...]

A State of Nobel Panic: Thoughts On Climate Change, Part 1

It’s not easy being green. However, it’s hard to avoid that fact that it’s very shortly going to be easier, or a least more comfortable, than the alternatives. In Al Gore – yes, that cardboard politician with the beady eyes -’s Nobel Prize acceptance speech, he said, ” However, despite a growing number of honorable [...]

America, I Love You, But I Think We Should See Other People

Ok, so the funniest part, to me, is that I found this video with this comment: “would this tick you off? [] thinks it’s hilarious. clearly, it’s mostly funny because of a stupid american stereotype. it’s mildly clever and funny, but don’t you agree that the stereotype is a big part of it?” What stereotype?
