What Gateway Sexual Activity Are We Teaching Our Children Today?
We will have to ask Kid Zoom, boy president of our Teen Korner for Teenz, what kind of gateway sexual activity they are teaching in Idaho these days (we are guessing: pooper-only, to save the Hyme for your Husby). If any of you know any other teenz — although why would you? — please ask [...]

Exciting New Ohio Ad: Republicans Are The Ones Who Love You, Black Dummies!
This ad, playing in Ohio, rests its case! Barack Obama will not bring you wealth and prosperity (except for how he will totally mandate reparations, but shhhh), and Lincoln freed the slaves.

Sorry, sorry, we are 10 minutes late, we had to … well, we didn’t have to do anything actually, except convince ourselves to actually turn on THE SPAN and voluntarily face an hour with walking Clearasil ad/Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel.
