Jonah’s Tall Tale: John McScissorhands
Saturday, September 13th, 2008
Sometimes the only respite from the partisan protestations and fabrications is humor...and today felt like one of those days, Yes, I realize humor can also be misconstrued through the prism of petty partisanship...which is why I intend to preface this posting with a clear and concise caveat.
The latest blog swarm ...

The Truth & Nothing But The Truth About Sarah Palin
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008
Well I've had it with all of the Sarah Palin hyperbole. We're a better nation than this and we need to stop with the ad hominem attacks on the Alaska governor.

Ignorance Wins: A Rainbow Conspiracy - Maybe It’s The Gays?
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008
The following video is possibly the most egregious display of unbridled ignorance I've seen in years...and stating as much may well be an inexcusable insult to ignorant people everywhere. Rather than focus on the fact that this video maker must have never attended a science class in her life, I ...

Quote of the Day 8/6/08
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

This is obviously impossible. - Richard ...

The McCain campaign wants us to believe that their recent attack ads are simply an attempt to inject a little humor into the 2008 election. Yes, we're supposed to conclude that a campaign with a significant fund raising disadvantage has decided to magnanimously toss money down the drain to make ...
