If There Is Any Value Whatsoever In The Current US Middle-East Policy. . .

by Smitty Consider this: what you’re seeing the US do now is essentially what Ron Paul’s non-interventionist approach would look like. So consider that, ye Paul fans, as the butcher’s bill grows and reddens.

Report: Obama Smashed the Tea Party Through a Plate-Glass Window

“What is necessary is to raise the cost on the right of going after the left. In other words, find a rightwinger’s [sic] and smash it through a plate-glass window. Take a snapshot of the bleeding mess and send it out in a Christmas card to let the right know that it needs to live […]

Soap Operas Are Not Documentaries (and ‘Feminism’ Is a Word With a Definition)

There has been, as Da Tech Tech Guy notes, quite a bit of sex talk lately on the right side of blogosphere.

And if they fail to get it passed before the current continuing resolution runs out, they plan to pass a stopgap short-term measure to prevent a government shutdown. Meanwhile, it […]

Ace? Is That You?

OK, so I was watching the “Academic Vagina” video I posted earlier, and then I noticed another video from the same site. Watch it: See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor. Did you see the guy at the 35-second mark, playing Tekken in class? If that’s not Ace of Spades, it’s his twin […]
