Karl Rove gave a speech last night at American University and some hippie chicks showed up to make their voices heard! They threw their sandals at Rove’s car, and then they totally sat around the car! Then the big policemen moved the hippies and Karl Rove drove home, the end. MORE »

Julie MacDonald, the Interior Department’s Assistant Secretary of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, is in a bit of hot water for, well, the usual cronyism bullshit that every single hack in every single department is guilty of to varying degress. One of the complaints: she was a bit careless with sensitive DoI documents, and, you know, tended to forward a lot of them on to lobbyists and right-wing think tanks. Oh, and random 14-year-old internet nerds. MORE »

Wonkette coverage of Second Life

Despite the tragic whining on John Edwards’ blog, it turns out the cyber-virtual computer-world “Second Life” maniacs who let loose a “feces-spewing obscenity” on the handsome candidate’s cyber-virtual computer-world “Second Life” pretend campaign headquarters are not lonely Republican cyber activists.
