Mitt Romney has announced that he will not be canceling his hot Las Vegas dinner date fundraiser with washed-up nut sack Donald Trump just because Donald Trump has been having birther “episodes” in the press — this time that he “knows” Barack Obama was born in Kenya — again. What is Romney supposed to do, [...]

General Services Administration head Martha Johnson and two cohorts resigned or were butt-kicked out the door Monday over some really hilarious spending habits of Our Money! What is a General Services Administration? Ms. Johnson might not have even known! No, but, well, the GSA is the “landlord” of the government, explains the news, and so [...]

We missed this part of CNN’s debate foreplay in Las Vegas last night while we were down in Zuccotti Park, but here is a fun video of CNN’s protester-mocking anchor Erin “Seriously” Burnett making tortured faces and struggling to concentrate as a band of heroic Occupy Las Vegas protesters cripple the audio feed with their [...]

Would you bet over half a million dollars that a few hundred people would be willing to exchange actual currency for the chance to watch defunct hollering person Sharron Angle share makeup tips at a schmaltzy Las Vegas gambling resort? Are you insane? Would you sign a contract to certify you are that insane? If [...]

“Curse-bombs,” the AP calls them. Yep, that is a way to get attention. We have a feeling Donald Trump is going to really focus on winning Nevada, as he can pretty much just hang around Las Vegas for months and do ridiculous things. “This white tiger and I go way back. Come over here, white [...]

Did you take the Metro to Las Vegas last night, to watch Harry Reid and Sharron Angle fight naked in a kiddie pool full of mud? This is actually not far from the truth, metaphorically speaking, because Sharron Angle was constantly being childish and mean to poor ol’ Harry Reid. Except Harry Reid is not [...]

What’s our favorite poor little rich girl/Nobel Prize For Literature winner Meghan McCain up to these days? Mostly just making an Olive Garden franchise go broke on those “bottomless bread stix” baskets and otherwise promoting her Booker Prize-winning novel about a dysfunctional family living off a pill-zombie’s beer fortune … unless, of course, she’s not [...]

In February, the Teabaggers had a “unity” party convention in Nashville, just like a real political party! Except for some reason those people had to pay to be delegates, every speaker dropped out at the last second, and Teabaggers from warring factions got up off their scooters near the hotel pool and lunged angrily at [...]

Sometimes people ask me, “Sara Benincasa, how do you find the time to stalk Barry O. when you live in New York City, not in the swampy deathquake that is the District of Columbia?” The answer is that I telecommute, using the Internets! Once a week on the White House Blog, someone by the name [...]

New Senate Majority Leader Sharron Angle is … crazy? Yes. She’s been hiding from reporters since her primary win against Chicken Lady, and only appears to tell her Teabagger supporters to ready their “Second Amendment remedies” to, you know, murder the elected government leaders in America.

Sleazy grifter Sarah Palin has been raking in the money at various conventions and trade shows, because she became famous in late 2008 when a shameless old man thought she might help his doomed presidential campaign. But Palin’s relatively small fan base — maybe 2 million dumb people in a nation of 309 million? — [...]

Michael Steele’s exclusive fraternity, the GOP “Young Eagles,” just rolls from strip joint to strip joint, blowing two-grand a pop on Kristol and lap dances. And dumb Republican donors pay for all this, while Socialism is the Law of the Land! What are these Young Republicans typing to each other, anyway?

So who is this guy, in the messy crazy person’s office, keeping large ancient vases within reach of his laboriously carved Oaken Throne. Well he’s the mayor of Las Vegas, that’s who. Mayor Goodman. Mayor Goodman, along with Harry Reid, along with other Nevadan legislators, along with Republicans aiming to score points, is furious that [...]

OH LOOK, A BOOK REVIEW, BY YOUR EDITOR: “According to Kurt Andersen’s slim new book Reset, the economic collapse is a magical second chance for America — an opportunity for a nation of greedy vulgarians and fat slobs to find new purpose in our post-binge society.” [Las Vegas Weekly]

Solid gold, gold, gold! (Except for the shitty local ad in the beginning — sorry!) This insane hell-woman at a town hall in Las Vegas overhears an Israeli man praising Israel’s national health care system, and says from afar, “HEIL HITLER!” Then she calls him gay for Obama and laughs like a baby when he [...]
