Every now and then, one encounters words of utter clarity. Such is the case with Paul Krugman's observations in the aftermath of John McCain's infamous statement, "The fundamentals of our economy are strong".
From The New York Times:
Aha. I'm gathering, from my reading here and there, that most people don't know ...

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 ...

While I've never been a fan of Cokie Roberts, I haven't found her to be as obnoxious as other right-leaning pundits...until today.

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 ...

A Tip O' the Satirical Cap to Station Agent
Fill in the blank. A New Yorker magazine cover is to Barak Obama what a National Review cover is to (blank).
A geriatric John McCain in a wheelchair! Get it? Now THAT'S funny! But, what about those thousands of Nimrod-in-Chief Hitler caricatures? Funny ...

I just love Christian websites. They provide an abundance of inspiration...for tongue-in-cheek sarcasm. I think I hit the mother lode today.
