Current Comedy, 11/17/08: Little Georgie Jr. Loses His Very Own Iraq War
(5 comments) The US and Iraq signed a finalizing peace treaty with a, get this, a "timetable." Iraqi government spokesperson Ali al-Dabbagh framed the US departure like this:"This date is not liable to change according to the situation on ground. The date is definite and final." Ladies and Gentlemen, that is definitely what we call 'getting told,' and who gets told in a war? The losers. If you win, you stay however long you want.

Old "Wake up the Morning after Screaming, 'Oh My God, What Have We Done'
(5 comments) When Joe Biden warned Obama would be tested in less than six months by some world leader, no one realized the test would come, not from abroad, but from typically slimy Dems in his own party and secret provisions in the Big Deal Bailout. How Obama handles this mess will define the kind of president we purchased.

Current Comedy, 11/2/08: Dewey Defeats Truman
At latest count, somebody's poll probably has him at like 70 kajillion electoral votes to McCain 41. USA Today lists nation wide voter registration increases that show new voters avoiding Republicanism like anal rashes. And yet--

Current Comedy, 10/15/08: In His Most Ferocious Performance Yet, McCain Eats Self
(1 comments) In his last chance to salvage, not only his campaign, but his whole political legacy, McCain didn't do, or even attempt to do the noble thing. Instead, he gave in to the dark side and all the pent-up anger inside him from having to watch himself slowly lose this election. So he swung for the fences with all the bile and grimace he could muster. Game Over, John McCain. You have beaten yourself.

Current Comedy, 10/7/08: Gotcha Soundbite Journalism
(1 comments) In the interest of the public good, I will devote the rest of this week's column to some of the old "gotcha soundbite journalism" Republicans so loathe. You know, where they say something that clearly reveals their vile character or evil intentions, and then some awful commie exploitive journalist catches them on an open mic. Republicans call this "gotcha soundbite journalism." I call it "truth hurts, don't it?"

Quick Take: Biden By Da Landslide
Biden gave what will undoubtedly be the liberals rallying cry quote: "Dick Cheney is the most dangerous vice president this country has ever had." That's a line that me and millions like me needed to hear to keep our faith.

Aussie Rudd Condemns American People While Senate Readies Tax Cuts
Every anti-Bush issue across the spectrum is embodied in this bailout. This is the outrageously diabolical Bush world paradigm cratering under its own weight of lies. I say let them collapse all the way back to zero like the credit houses did at the end of Fight Club. Know what the third rule of Fight Club? No, your profit margin is not more important than me feeding my family.

(2 comments) The middle class thugs among us give into the same impulse that makes some want to support our country's efforts when it says it intends to destroy another country even though we know it's wrong because all those anti-war protestors are just pissing them off.

Your Right to Remain Silent
(2 comments) For a good while now, the Repubs have fought some of the dirtiest campaigns this side of gonorrhea. Most every Dem lost election in recent times has had an October Surprise. This go-round who will be surprising whom? That depends on who is actually dealing the cards and I think we're going to find out soon.

Tax-Avoiders are Un-American
(18 comments) Forget what you think your greedy little pocketbook is telling you. Not paying taxes is so very not-cool. If you are not doing your daily best to make America work, the least you can do is pay on your tab. Paying taxes is doing your part to show you actually care about America more than the $2.50 you spent on that yellow ribbon you bought a couple of years ago which is now so sun faded it's unreadable.

Bush the Uniter
(1 comments) The Suskind book could be Bush's tipping point. Bush like his friends, Olmert and Musharraf has made shambles of his country, created a war state where none need exist, alienated his own citizenry, repressed his political opposition often at the point of a gun and been implicated in so many shady dealings the trio should open a sunglasses outlet.

Impeachment Efforts Are Worth It
(5 comments) Are we there yet? Not even close. Is it still worth it? For many of us who have been running this marathon we thought we were entering the homestretch and found out we hadn't even made it to the starting gate yet. And yet, both on a personal level and as a citizen, I still say yes.
