Comedy Central’s Lil’ Bush

I just caught the rebroadcast of the Lil’ Bush premier. Lil’ Condi has a crush on GW, Lil’ Cheney gets lodged in an undisclosed location, and they all visit Halliburton-Land. How could I not love it? Here are a few screenshots:

Has the glittery-one yet batted a lash in the direction of Lil’ Condi? Notice the […]

Firing Federal Prosecutors For Political Reasons Is an Impeachable Offense

What next step should the representatives of ‘We the People’ take once it’s been proven that the president and his goon squad fired senate confirmed appointments for political purposes? According to James Madison, the president should be impeached.

U.S. Planning to Attack Iran on April 6th says Russians

Bush Manages to Out-Disaster a Supervolcano

This evening I watched Supervolcano on the Discovery channel. In the film a fictional high-ranking government official made a call that set politics aside and saved untold millions of people. Faced with the reality that FEMA and the rest of the gang could never reach the affected in time, the masses were told to 'Walk […]

They Want to Torture, and They Have Tortured

At the root of all the legal redefinitions and claims of necessity, in the face of evidence to the contrary and cries of protest from all corners, is this: they want to torture, and they have tortured. Even Colin Powell is speaking out about it. At this point they probably want to keep their asses […]
