BREAKING: Giant Republicans Roam Seattle, Are Cowed from Attacking Democrats by Cleverly Placed Signs!
I get a kick out of the grassroots left at times. A guy in Seattle, WA has started a group called “RepublicansAreADisease.com”, wherein the anonymous author encourages all the oppressed and downtrodden Democrats in the state of Washington to Get Mad As Hell and Not Take It Anymore. They should, he explains, destroy Republican yard [...]
Have At You, Totalitarian Government!
Game on! Virginia’s lawsuit challenging the Obama administration’s health care reform law cleared its first legal hurdle Monday as a federal judge ruled the law raises a host of complex constitutional issues.

Messiah Fever: Catch It!
What is it with world leaders and Messianic Complexes? You expect such delusion out of petty tyrants like Hugo Chavez or Mad Mahmoud — megalomania is pretty much baked right into tyranny.
