Let Me Be Clear: Your Leader is a Moron

When you are faced with a career in the political arena — filled with countless public appearances and speaking engagements — suffice to say you are going to have more than a few gaffes. However, when these misstatements come in the biggest, most carefully vetted speech of the year — such as in the State [...]

Oh Noes! You’ve Been Tea-Bagged!

On behalf of the voters of New Jersey and now…Massachusetts???

My Radical Thought of the Day

Let’s face it, our lives are pretty decent, and for that we should consider ourselves blessed. We in the United States and other nations of the “West” are not torn apart by political strife, genocide, or cataclysmic natural disasters. For the most part, we all are able to wake up each morning, safe and sound, [...]

If You Are a Racist Politician, You Just Might Be a Liberal

Hey, can you do me a favor? Can you remind me just which American political party is the one that’s always portrayed in the media and during debates as the one filled with horrible, filthy racists and elitests? I don’t see any Republicans making the news lately for absolutely beyond-the-pale outrageous statements aimed towards President [...]

It’s Days Like Today That Make Me Grateful I Work in a Skyscraper

You may be surprised to hear it, but the biggest danger facing each and every one of us today isn’t the pressing near for healtcare reform, or a slow and shaky economy, or even those nasty, racist, evil conservative teabagger protesters that are so mean and uncooperative towards President Barack Hussein Obama.

Nope, it’s a bunch [...]

They’re Coming To Take You Away, Ha Ha

The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution clearly states:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to [...]

Vote or Die. Or Don’t. You’ll Probably Live and Not Much Will Change Either Way.

Fresh off the humiliating election of woefully over-matched President Barack Hussein Obama — accompanied by nearly filibuster-proof majorities for the Democrats in both houses of Congress — this year’s Election Day turns our focus to more local, personal roots, as several notable contests are underway in both the Empire and Garden states. These campaigns, though, [...]

The Solution Is Simple: I Abstain

The imperfect end to an utterly putrid baseball season for fans of the New York Mets has reached its bittersweet crescendo: a fall un-classic pitting the hated Bronx Bombers against the cocky, arrogant, and despicable defending World Champion Philadelphia Phillies. What is a man, so filled with contempt and loathing for both franchises, supposed to [...]

Random Thoughts

(Inspired in large part thanks to a similar post on The Cranky Conservative…)

- It’s hard for someone as humble as me to admit it, but turns out I was way ahead of the curve in declaring President Barack Hussein Obama the Anti-Christ: a solid nine percent of the residents of the fine state of New [...]

On Healthcare Reform and Internet Memes

I’m a few days behind on my news, but that really shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that has ever read this site with any regularity. Anyway, I wanted to make a comment on a certain meme that went around Twitter and Facebook this week; a little sweet-sounding, simple, and very effective slogan promoting healthcare [...]

We Don’t Need No Thought Control

I know I couldn’t have been the only one who immediately thought of a certain song when hearing of President Barack Obama’s plan to indoctrinate — uh, I mean, address — all of America’s students next week.

HEY, OBAMA! LEAVE THOSE KIDS ALONE!

Nah, I think it’s actually kinda cool that the President could potentially reach out [...]

Cyber-Stalking: The New Reality

We live in a world unlike any other witnessed before by human civilization. Unparallelled prosperity (current recessions notwithstanding) and access to information have left us with the entire world at our figurative fingertips. No piece of knowledge is beyond a Google or Bing click away, and news from the farthest corners of the planet feel [...]

The Apocalyptic Pieces Begin to Fall Into Place (or, Barack Obama is the AntiChrist)

It only took a mere $10 billion in costs and nearly a year of unplanned delays before the newsmedia and certain elements of the scientific community began to question the value and process behind Europe’s Large Hadron Collider — the vast underground, super-cooled electromagnetic tunnels underneath France and Switzerland that will allegedly allow for high-speed [...]

Lefty Logo Lunacy

This past weekend, I flew back from a brief four-day respite in Miami’s wonderful South Beach, and found myself constantly staring at an advertisement for a company called Carbonfund in my JetBlue’s 37 channels of DirectTV display.

Something was just “off” about this message, I kept telling myself, not even factoring in the post-modern hypocritical nonsense [...]

Miscellaneous Musings on Iran, the Role of the President, and US Foreign Policy

Browsing through the usual chatter on Twitter this AM, I was struck by random speculation and questions everyone has related to what is currently happening in Iran, and how/if the United States should respond.

Let’s start with the Middle Eastern nation itself: while I have not yet seen Jimmy Carter personally step forward and endorse the [...]

Thinking Terrible Thoughts About the Realities of the World and Terrorism: Palau Edition

I usually read Hope n’ Change mostly to chuckle at its pithy, on-point cartoon critiques of the follies plaguing the current presidential administration. Today’s content, though, chills my bones and makes me ponder terrible thoughts.

And though the media keeps saying that the (ahem) former terrorists will be in Palau’s “custody,” the men will [...]

While You Were Away…

Apparently, my fair and jealous New York City had quite the week while I basked in the warm and inviting glow of the California sun. For starters, after years of controversy and repeated postings by your humble author, Department of Finance Commissioner Martha Stark resigned from her position. Hopefully, the halls of the fine revenue [...]

What Is Going On???

The semi-famous utterance above originated with Joe Schmo himself, Matt Kennedy Gould, as he looked around and found himself the only hint of reality ensnared within an otherwise completely fabricated world. Looking around at today’s incredibly whacked-out political scene, I can’t help but ask the same question. Did the rest of the world take stupid [...]
