Rick Santorum Is a Giant Pork Spender, As It Turns Out
Ah, Rick Santorum. Rick, Rick, Rick. After winning the support of 100 evangelical leaders this weekend, the conservative candidate solidified himself as a seriousish contender in the Republican race, which is exciting only because it means the New York Times will now spend the next couple of weeks writing probing examinations of this true Washington [...]

Suddenly Senate Republicans Heart Earmarks
Ha ha, remember when the 2009 budget bill passed and every single Republican on the face of the planet was OUTRAGED because of earmarks? (Well, mostly just John McCain.)

Republicans Now Furious About Dept. of Agriculture Buying Some Food For Starving Americans
You know who sucks? Poor jobless hungry people in America, that’s who!

John McCain Prepares Massive Economic Plan… Does He Know That He Lost?
We’ll admit, we have some sympathy for the former Republican leadership and George W. Bush with regards to the “John McCain situation.” It was kind of fun for us communists to see John McCain (occasionally, arbitrarily) challenge the Bush administration on a handful of issues over the years, but now that he’s doing the same [...]
