Superman and Lobbyists
This is a from a page of Superman number 1, printed in 1938. I for one am glad these days are behind us. Thank goodness for the six decades worth of politicians promising change. Otherwise, where would we be now? Read more [...]
From The NY Times:Mr. McCain, a Republican from Arizona, said on the CBS news program “Face the Nation” that President Obama should sit down with Republican leaders and begin adopting some of their ideas for improving the nation’s health care system such as overhauling medical malpractice lawsuits, allowing residents of one state to buy health insurance from a company in another state, and granting tax credits for people who purchase health insurance on their own.

Please Vote for the Guy Doing a Bad Adam Sandler Impression
The poster declares 「生活を守り抜く。」 (defend their lives), but his pose says, I love the part in Billy Madison where Billy acts out Shakespeare.
How could anyone take a man seriously when he has a poster printed that makes it look like someone is dangling a doughnut in front of him? Is he going to defend our lives from doughnuts by eating them all?
One thing is for sure, I giggle every time I see this. Read more [...]
What is a Reverse Racist?
Rac•ism ˈrāˌsizəm

Sequel to That Silly "Fixing the Fence" Chain Letter
Three contractors are bidding to fix a fence at the White House. One is from a city place and therefore must be evil. The other two are honest Americans, from honest American places.
The first honest one says, "I don't want the money, give it to people who are already wealthy because they know so much about money and probably care about me for some reason that only I can imagine." (a few months later he goes out of business and loses his house)
The second honest American says, "I'll charge you for Read more [...]
Israel's Actions Through the Eyes of Sir Gerald Kaufman
I can't speak with any authority whatsoever on the subject of Israel and Palestine, but I'm trying to learn more. What I've learned so far has mostly shown me that I have a lot to learn and that it is a problem without an easy answer. A situation where it seems everyone involved is culpable, and where every step forward is tiny and slow while backward steps seem gaping and (recently) rushed. I was interested to hear Sir Gerald Kaufman's take on the situation, though I still don't know quite what Read more [...]
Last Palin Post (hopefully forever)
Palin said, "I think if there are allegations based on questions or comments that I made in debate prep about NAFTA or about the continent versus the country when we talk about Africa there, then those were taken out of context, and that is cruel and mean-spirited, it's immature, it's unprofessional, and those guys are jerks."

Palin Prank Called
Montreal's Marc-Antoine Audette and Sebastien Trudel prank called Palin claiming to be French president Nicolas Sarkozy. I feel bad for her, but it does illustrate once again just how unprepared she is to be remotely close to the oval office. Read more [...]
Be a Maverick, not a Rogue
I first started writing this blog post back when the details of Palin's abuse of power were emerging. What makes all this more interesting is that now Palin is being called a rogue herself. Read more [...]
