Sen. Rockefeller Comically Criticizes McCain’s War Experience

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

In a Sunday interview with the West Virginia’s Charleston Gazette newspaper, Senator Jay Rockefeller reinforced his support for Barry Obama. Mostly, however, he made fun of John McCain’s war experience with some heavy words about bombs. McCain is dehumanized and cannot understand the human condition, Rockefeller says, and that is why he enjoyed bombing the Vietnamese from the air so much. MORE »


Hanoi Jane Endorses Obama So Hanoi John Can Be President

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

I'm here under the orders of the president of Earth, I'm looking for Durand-Durand. About 40 years ago, a very young and super hot Jane Fonda protested the American war against Vietnam by visiting Hanoi and posing for pictures with the North Vietnamese military. (She also visited American prisoners of war imprisoned in Hanoi, but nobody really talks about that because it wasn’t treason.) Guess who else was in Hanoi at the time but refused to meet with Fonda’s anti-war group? Navy pilot John McCain, who was killing North Vietnamese villagers with bombs in 1967 when he was shot down by a missile. Now guess how many billion dollars Hillary must’ve paid Jane Fonda to endorse Barack Obama? MORE »


Hillary Clinton Caught In Millionth Bosnian Lie!

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

pwnedHa ha, it turns out that Hillary Clinton even lies with her lying about her harrowing overseas adventures. First she says she once ran screaming through the streets of Tuzla smeared with the blood of Bosnian snipers as she singlehandedly brought peace to Northern Ireland; then she says she was the first president’s wife to visit a war zone since Eleanor Roosevelt. Wrong again, Pantsuit! That honor goes to Pat Nixon, who visited Vietnam with Sinbad way back in 1969. MORE »


John McCain Snubbed Vietnamese Guy Who Rescued Him

Monday, March 24th, 2008

Prick.Everybody knows that Republican Presidential candidate John McCain fought in the Vietnam War and was held in a POW camp until he gained a proper appreciation for the works of Ernest Hemingway. However, shocking new revelations suggest that McCain may have been an arrogant prick to the guy who rescued him after his jet was shot down and delivered him to captors for five years of torture.

New McCain Video Makes Best Case For Torture-President

Friday, March 14th, 2008

John McCain is pushing hard these days to become the President of Torture. In a new web video, McCain and his Navy buddies talk for four minutes about how he was tortured. And his lovely mother Roberta says that when she learned John was a P.O.W., it was the best news she’d ever heard. After four minutes of TORTURE TORTURE BLOOD PULP TORTURE, the idea is clear: this never happened to Barack Obama at all. Check it out below, you hateful liberal Democrats. MORE »


Poor Old George Bush Wishes He Could Fight In His Wars, Too!

Friday, March 14th, 2008

George W. Bush held a video conference with some soldiers in Afghanistan yesterday, and the ol’ fighter got jealous of all the Freedom they get to create! In George’s youth, you see, he got to have all sorts of fun fightin’ tigers in the front lines of Vietnam, where he created Freedom for the first time. And yesterday, he told these troops in Afghanistan how “envious” he was of their “romantic,” uh, permanent deployment to the asshole of the world! MORE »


McCain Victorious In Florida, Loves Rudy, Because Rudy Will Endorse Him

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Did you know McCain lived for a few weeks or months in Florida, too? That’s what he just said. He “learned” to fly in Pensacola, but not so good. Let’s let John shine now, as he was, after all, TORTURED during his time living in Florida. (Really. He was based in Florida when he got shot down in Vietnam.) There’s Charlie Crist standing right behind John, and Charlie just looks jubilant! Let’s see if Ol’ Walnuts will say anything of interest …. MORE »


Shocking Study Suggests Bush & Cheney Sorta Lied About Iraq!

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

Incredible as it seems, the Bush Administration may have been dishonest every day, forever, about Iraq. That’s the shocking conclusion of some study funded by “limousine liberal” George Soros. According to the report, Bush and Cheney and the rest of the administration spent all their time between 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq successfully convincing our nation’s dumber people — Congress, reporters, etc. — that Saddam Hussein was about to launch even more jetliners full of anthrax at American buildings.

A Quick Word About Martin Luther King Jr.

Monday, January 21st, 2008

MLKday.jpgOn April 4, 1967, Martin Luther King Junior delivered a famous speech at Riverside Church in New York City, his first to overtly tackle the Vietnam war. This was exactly — to the day — a year before he was shot and killed. He didn’t like the direction in which America was heading, and today we celebrate his birth by letting a bunch of people take days (you) or half-days (me) off from work. So maybe ponder these words from Riverside as you watch another Dr., like Dr. Phil, on the teevee. As you kill the day:

It is a sad fact that because of comfort, complacency, a morbid fear of communism, and our proneness to adjust to injustice, the Western nations that initiated so much of the revolutionary spirit of the modern world have now become the arch anti-revolutionaries…. If we will make the right choice, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our world into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. If we will but make the right choice, we will be able to speed up the day, all over America and all over the world, when justice will roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.

Now go plant a tree, or maybe build a friendly fence. Just leave the Internet for the afternoon. When you come back, it will be as it always was.


BREAKING: LBJ, Bob McNamara Dislike Hippies

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

so suck my cockThis bumper sticker was recently spotted on Capitol Hill. It’s the latest development in the ongoing “Culture War” of the 1960s, which Americans knew very little about until John McCain recently started attacking Hillary Clinton for having fun.
