  • Not so fast

    He sounds more like a Cyclone than a Hawkeye...

  • Does it even matter?

    Even if, by some remote chance, Congress manages to slip something worthwhile into this bill, won't Bush just issue another signing statement to nullify it? "Hey, thanks for playing guys, but I don't really like that checks and balances nonsense, so I'm gonna do whatever I want like always. Yours truly, King George"

  • Really?

    [Read the article: "Obama Watch"]

    And Fox actually thinks of themselves as a serious news network? More like a serious comedy network.

  • Developing credentials?

    [Read the article: Brian Williams nominates Peggy Noonan for a Pulitzer Prize]

    How about developing some journalistic integrity?

    You're going to be up against people who have an opinion, a modem, and a bathrobe. All of my life, developing credentials to cover my field of work, and now I'm up against a guy named Vinny in an efficiency apartment in the Bronx who hasn't left the efficiency apartment in two years.

    All those years of "developing credentials" and it appears he never developed an understanding of what his role is supposed to be. Williams has just become Vinny. I guess he can add that to his list of credentials now.

  • "Religious" Right

    [Read the article: The right's selective political manipulation of Catholicism]

    I've been thinking about this for quite a while now, and I've come to the following conclusion: Before people are born, the right-wingers are their best friends. There is nothing they won't do for an unborn child. However, once that child is born, they couldn't care less about it. Better learn to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, kid.

  • Wow

    Hillary just needs to stop talking. Every time she opens her mouth, she digs the hole deeper and deeper.

  • Hello, funky?

    Typical right-wing moron... bashing something they don't understand. Red State Update is one of the most widely viewed political satire series on the internet. Get a clue next time.

  • Oh my gosh!

    [Read the article: The amazing Josh Hamilton]

    So he was just really bored, with nothing to do and a whole lot of money to spend, so it is totally natural that he got into drugs? Of course, why didn't I see that??

    Maybe you'll have to explain it to me again, but I still don't see how that makes his drug use anything other than a problem of his own making.

  • Huh?

    What in the hell are you talking about? All I said was that he brought the problem on himself.
