Tuesday, March 30: It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that the Heritage Foundation has created a lecture series in honor of the terrible bigot Jesse Helms, and it really shouldn’t come as surprise to anyone that the inaugural lecture is all about how Obama is … ruining America.
Tuesday, March 16: Our President and savior Barack Obama may actually be an incarnation of the long dead and often celebrated Jesus of Christian mythology, but the Brookings Institution is nonetheless convinced that religion was left out of the 2008 election. They ask if God will make a comeback in the 2010 elections and, if [...]
Wednesday, March 10: Yes, someone watched you as you walked to work today. In fact, someone watches you every day, everywhere you go, because this is America, where 9/11 happened, so we’ll never forget what you’re wearing, where you’re going and who you’re talking to. This, as the Cato Institute explains, is the mentality consuming [...]
Wednesday, February 17: Rebuilding Haiti is extremely important, which is why the country just needs a Super Bowl. It will hands-down fix everything. The Brookings Institution discusses options for how best to rebuild the country, options which really should include building a Superdome and starting a professional football league. [Brookings Institution]
Tuesday, January 26: Recent activities in Yemen have not convinced the New America Foundation that Yemen is a legitimate terrorist threat — only that it is on the “brink” of becoming one.

Tuesday, November 3: The Center for American Progress has somehow managed to hire God as a Senior Fellow. His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, the patriarch of Orthodox Christianity, will be discussing the nature of progress, an ever-so-fascinating topic, tomorrow at Georgetown University. [Center for American Progress]
Monday, October 26: Does anyone notice that we have a black president? If you still feel like talking about race in the Obama era, you’re in luck: CAP is hosting a discussion about this elusive subject tonight at 6PM. [Center for American Progress]
Thursday, October 15: In celebration of Columbus Day, Libertarians weigh the pros and cons of using smallpox blankets in Afghanistan. [Cato Institute]
Wednesday, September 23: Boo hoo California’s broke. Half of its population has been laid off, the other half may be paid eventually, and basically no one there can find a job. Can AEI save California or should we just fuck it and assume the state will burn down from a wildfire anyway? [AEI]
Tuesday, August 25: What’s so wrong with people storming town halls with overtly racist propaganda and the world falling apart before our eyes? The Center for American Progress is a little peeved at this and may or may not be advocating for conservatives to start gulping “poison” (their words, not ours), so that we can [...]
Monday, August 10: We know it’s not as simple as “It’s hot therefore global warming is real,” but seriously, who denies global warming on a thousand-degree day? The Heritage Foundation, that’s who! Join them today at noon as they “systematically debunk” every assertion Al Gore made in his film An Inconvenient Truth and try to [...]
