Saturday, April 29th, 2006 After all the heinous things our Ventriloquist-in-Chief has apparently done, I really do wish he'd simply settled for a BJ from his Groupie-in-Chief, Harriet Meyers. After all, they impeached Slick Willy over Blowjobapalooza, how can we not impeach Dub? Well, there are several reasons why. Tops on my list is that ...

Friday, April 28th, 2006 Last night I talked to my Dad. He's been running a car wash for 39 years. 39 years? Wow! One job... and still at 61 he loves it. He just don't come out and say it. We looked over his cast of employees ...

Friday, April 28th, 2006 If the American people don’t question what they see and hear from any politician they are doing a disservice to American Democracy.

Thursday, April 27th, 2006 Math has a certain concreteness that's attractive. When you say 2+2=4, it's a certainty to everyone except our Budgeteer-in-Chief who thinks 2+2=Eleventyseven. Language on the other hand is a tricky and fickle thing. It has nuance and subtlety, power and majesty, sometimes from the same words. There's a trick - often ...

Thursday, April 27th, 2006 Screwed I say! That's not according to my analysis, it's according to John Dickerson of Slate. The GOP is divided over issues such as immigration (I say we keep doing what we are doing, but I digress) and the fiscal conservatives are ticked off at the GOP for ...
