Poll: Americans Reject Maverick Heroes

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Proving that Obama’s 15-point lead in last week’s Newsweek poll was a liberal hoax, a hot new LA Times poll has Obama’s lead diminishing to a statistically insignificant 12 points, or 15 if you include fictional losers Bob Barr and Ralph Nader. Also, among voters who said they’d vote for McCain, only 45% are “enthusiastic” about doing that (Mexican vs. Muslim, pick your poison etc. etc.), while that figure is 81% for Obama. This just goes to show how screwed the Democrats will be come November. Sooner or later these Obamatards will realize that in the Real World, you don’t “like” politicians or presume they’ve got anything good to offer; you vote for the schlock you completely fucking hate, because why set yourself up for disappointment?

LA Times To Study Candidates’ Brains For Crazy Disease

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

mike gravel's brain can't say what it wants to sayToday’s Los Angeles Times featured an op-ed from Dr. Daniel G. Amen, neuropsychiatrist to the stars, that kinda hypothesized why Hillary’s a bitch, Rudy’s an ass, Bush is stubborn, Clinton’s a sex fiend, and Cheney is all of the above: They have the crazy brains. And if we don’t test the presidential candidates’ brain health forthwith, well, prepare to get nuked, Random Non-Threatening Country: “A president with brain problems could wreak havoc on the U.S. and the world at large.” In other news, the last 40-odd years of the presidency happened.

An Endorsement for “Slut Day”

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Hello Nurse!Joel Stein has an op-ed piece in the Los Angeles Times today bemoaning the current state of Halloween, in which he laments the fact that the once kid-friendly Satanic festival has been ruinously besmirched by adults running around dressed as sexy nurses, libidinous witches, randy stewardesses, etc. etc. This year, of course, it’ll be even worse when every single party will be befouled by at least one toe-tapping, stall-bound senator. Blah, blah, blah, we hear this stuff every year, right? But then, unexpectedly, Stein comes up with the most wonderful idea! Why not save Halloween for the little bastards by creating a new holiday for adults: Slut Day! We’re listening. MORE »
