President Obama Is Literally Driving The Republicans Insane I don't think we ever anticipated that the presidency of Barack Obama would, among other things, send the far-right into a freakazoid display of shockingly deranged conniptions and outright crazy talk -- their manic hyperdrive engines, fueled by Rush Limbaugh's gesticulating arm flab, blasting them out of their political Mos Eisley cantina scene and expelling them a thousand parsecs beyond the zero barrier of insanity.

No Attacks? Since When? As we near the final end of the Bush/Cheney nightmare, a concerted effort on the part of self serving right wingers to rehabilitate the Bush legacy is underway. We must not let these individuals who have been so wrong on every big question over the last eight years to create a new myth to cover their tracks. Or their own duplicity.

Bob Cesca: What Doesn't Kill The Far-Right Only Makes Them Crazier If the last seven days have been any indication, the far-right is shaping up to make the 1990s seem quaint -- even erudite by comparison.

Fooled Again It's happening again. Regardless of the outcome of this thing, it's clear that half of America is falling for the same superficial trickery that gave us eight years of George W. Bush. You know the routine. Who do you want to have a beer with? Who is more plainspoken? Who would you like to drive your kids to hockey?

The Very Serious Debate, Starring The Very Serious George & Charlie The nation has witnessed, firsthand, George Stephanopoulos and Charlie Gibson for who they really are: pandering yellow journalists. Carnival barkers. They're Penn & Teller without the talent or insight.

Barack Obama For President After seven years in this Dark Age, I've almost forgotten what it was like to have a real president occupying the White House: a president who, even if I disagreed with his policies and ideology, dignified the office with a stature that symbolized the awesomeness of America.

World War III Is Going To Be Hilarious Your president giggled and grinned while discussing World War III yesterday. To the rest of the known world, however, World War III a scary thing. It's just below abortion and above rape on the list of the all time unfunniest topics. They're marketing Iran with more psychotic voracity than Michelle Malkin attacking an injured baby -- and no one can stop them.

America Used To Be Really Goddamn Awesome I've been captivated by Ken Burns' The War this week and it struck me how awesome America used to be. The prevailing attitude of the ladies and gentlemen featured in Burns' film, and by proxy all Americans of that era, was that if we had to fight a war, we had better do it right. Clearly and with little dissent, we had to fight that war, and without fail, Americans rallied together to do it really damn well.

Karl Rove Out There Walking The Streets Whenever we talk about criminals, we traditionally worry that somehow they'll slip through the cracks and end up "out there walking the streets." No-one wants the freakdogs of society out there walking around on our goddamn socialized streets. But there he goes anyway... Karl Rove, the second most infamous villain of our time, leaving the White House at the end of the month.

It's Not About The Firearms So what causes a maniac to murder 30 people in cold blood? It can't possibly be about the 9mm handguns, in the same way terrorism isn't about access to beverage containers. Yeah, I'm one of those progressives who has long since conceded the gun debate. It's not because of the gun lobby's simplistic talking points, it's not because of the hunters who think it's most excellent to kill innocent animals...

9/11 Is Why He's The Worst President Ever Almost as tragic as the attacks themselves, President Bush turned the nation and the world down a path of darkness, tragedy and more death. America is more divided than it has been since the Civil War. Many former allies disdain and merely tolerate us.

Step Away From The Constitution, Mr. Gingrich, And Put Your Hands Where We Can See Them You, me and every human being who calls him- or herself an American ought to be willing to sacrifice ourselves before acquiescing to the tyranny of those who advocate such unconstitutional laws as the USA Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act and other yet-to-be-proposed ideas put forth by reactionary Republican cowards. And "reactionary Republican cowards" includes Newt Gingrich

America's Mayor v. Wingnut Conservative Zealots if Rudy were to win, I'd at least breathe easier knowing the next president isn't 1) a far right religious zealot, 2) a Bush Family human-animal hybrid, or 3) a man who, despite being tortured in Vietnam, was reduced down to a suit filled with really, really white jelly when facing off against President Bush on the Military Commissions Act and detainee torture.

Time For A Big Ol' Cup Of 'Shut The F*** Up' At the risk of sounding contentious in this all-too-genuine era (several days) of bipartisanship, here now is a roll call of people who must officially shut the f*** up.
