What better occasion than the nation’s first caucus/primary thing of 2012 to remember that Americans are mouth-breathing idiots. The new Vanity Fair/CBS survey of U.S. dumbness has been released, and it proves that two-thirds of this nation’s adults have no idea that the population of the USA is approximately 300 million people. You didn’t even [...]
Haha, what do gigantic bloodthirsty oil companies love more than gazillions of dollars in tax breaks? Gazillions of dollars in tax breaks that children must pay for, with their lunch money dimes and schoolbooks and sad faces. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (which sounds about as real as a Texas Commission on Banning Jesus) [...]
How is the “death industry” doing these days? That whole funeral home, flowers, Jell-O-and-ham potluck, casket and cemetery plot thing that Americans used to do when there were still a few crumpled dollar bills left in the “rainy day jar” for a dignified burial? No, we mean that “other” death industry, the one where Rick [...]
Gov. Jerry Brown signed SB 48 into law yesterday, which means that California schools must somehow squeeze gay history into its schools’ curriculum, which up until this point have followed the standard formula of 97% white men kicking ass, 2% Martin Luther King, Jr. and 1% bad things happening to America that encourage white men [...]
On Monday, Tennessee’s state House passed a bill to ban local laws that protect gay citizens from discrimination after the cesspool that is Nashville decided it would start considering gay people human beings of all things. (GAYS ARE A TYPE OF PLANT LIFE, NASHVILLE.) This is a fairly proactive approach to quelling equality before it [...]
It’s not often that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi camps under the GOP tent, but that’s just what happened recently when she broke ranks with Bay Area Democrats and the Obama administration and voted to keep billions of dollars in federal student aid flowing into the coffers of for-profit colleges. She had her reasons. Some [...]
Not too long ago, certain young people, like former D.C. child baron Michelle Rhee, were picked up from their Ivy League graduations in Teach for America warplanes and parachuted onto schools in low-income areas, which, according to them, suddenly made them experts on the “education crisis.” What is the education crisis? The education crisis is [...]
Hey you guys, Pat Buchanan has heard about an interesting new science called “eugenics.” In fact, you could even say he is an expert race scientist! He was able to become so smart because he has one of the two good types of brains (white or Chinese) and thus can provide us with valuable insights. [...]
Hey hey, Bristol Palin is still on that terrible dancing teevee show that makes her dress up as a pink-bowed gorilla furry! Sarah is very proud of her, because she is an important example for all incomprehensible vapid young media personalities: They’re going to criticize you anyway, so you may as well be substantive and [...]
Kind of feel sorry for this guy, who seems nice and energetic and whatever, and is good at math, but still: the president of the Detroit school board may be functionally illiterate. No, really: it took him 10+ years to get his college degree because he kept failing an English proficiency exam, the requirement for [...]
