If, by now, you haven’t read the incredible public response from NPR regarding the intentional decision to ignore the Occupy Wall Street protests now in their second week, prepare to be repulsed even if you automatically deride liberal protests as dumb hippies who need a bath or less piercings: We asked the newsroom to explain [...]
At least the New York Observer is giving a little of the News Hole to the #OccupyWallStreet gang! Here’s our own correspondent, Riley Waggaman, with his bad-ass bomber jacket and monopoly Apple laptop that is now the only computer manufactured and sold, since Apple became a monopoly, according to some self-loathing douche-poop who works on [...]
Hello friends! Your Occupy Wall Street correspondent spent the day familiarizing himself with the park-dwelling lifestyle (pro tip: poop at McDonald’s, not in your pants) and meeting the treacherous peaceniks that he will be spending an entire week with. Did you know that these “disorganized, godless pixies” are actually extremely intelligent and highly organized, and [...]
Occupy Wall Street has just completed its ninth day — but you wouldn’t know, since America’s glorious free press is too busy covering the Big Stories: “New Ben and Jerry’s flavor in poor taste?” and “Man with broken leg survives 4 days in desert” and “Michele Bachmann goes somewhere, says something”). The anti-American media-fairness group [...]
What are these New York City “Day of Rage” protesters angry about this time? We are pretty sure the Patriot Act in its current iteration specifies that Americans are only allowed to be mad about out a) the local anusburger chain running out of McNuggets or b) the last-minute cancellation of a Justin Bieber mall [...]
Screwing D.C.: the one thing all of Congress can agree on.â„¢ D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray and several members of the D.C. Council were arrested Monday at a protest on Capitol Hill, as city officials turned up the volume on their complaints about a federal spending deal that imposes controversial riders on the District. Apparently [...]
America’s greatest political movement, Sketchy Old White People Driving Their RVs Around On Government Checks, have decided they just can’t quit Washington — so they’re coming back for yet another rally. We are super happy to still be on their mailing list.
Scott Walker asked the greedy working people of Wisconsin if they would kindly remove themselves from the capitol by 4 p.m. Sunday. And surprise surprise, the trust fund teachers did not listen, forcing poor Governor Walker to order policemen to clear out the building. But treasonous Capitol Police Chief Charles Tubb allowed dozens of protesters [...]
Do you get the feeling America is in actual meltdown, for real this time, and that the outcome is as hazy as some night-time web video streaming on Al Jazeera from Libya or Bahrain or wherever? Pictured above is a Twitter post by Indiana Deputy Attorney General Jeff Cox, who responded to a Mother Jones [...]
WORLD UPDATE: It turns there are other things going on besides Sarah Palin being on Facebook! Libya is still on fire, literally in many places. Wisconsin is still on fire, figuratively speaking. God even wanted to get into the act, throwing an earthquake New Zealand’s way so it would catch on fire, very much literally. [...]
Whoa, guess where the latest Muslim-land protests are happening? Iran! A funny thing is how Iran’s religious-fanatic leadership first praised the Egyptian revolution (which has been officially been named the January 25 Revolution, which like all date-based revolution names will never be used outside of the country in question), because maybe Egypt would become a [...]
America’s least favorite billionaire wingnut corporate death monsters, the Koch Brothers, held a super-secret sexy behind-closed-doors desert pool party weekend with all their favorite conservative commentators in the gay resort town of Rancho Mirage.
