Ad Showing Obama With Mohamed Atta Shown on Drudge Report

October 19th, 2008 · Comments

As if this race hasn’t gotten scummy enough, a new ad courtesy of the scum merchants from the National Republican Trust.

It sucks even showing the ad, but anybody with a quarter of a brain knows what these clowns are doing.

A Note to the Wingnuts

October 11th, 2008 · Comments

You’ve jumped the shark. [...]

October 2nd, 2008 · Comments

I watch a lot of TV because I’m intellectually lazy and I drink a lot. Those two things put together equal an intense fascination with television. I’m even thinking of buying a new one, so if you have any advice on a good 42 inch LCD TV for around $1000 or less, let [...]

October 1st, 2008 · Comments

The goal right now is to start putting up some actual content on this blog, on a daily basis.
Right now, my main concerns are around Sarah Palin. I know she is a complete train wreck, but I know that the expectations are so low that even if she gives a few choice lines, she [...]
