Because this is the United States of America, two fetuses supposedly “testified” before an Ohio legislative committee yesterday via projector from the womb for a bill that would make abortion illegal if the fetus in question has a heartbeat. Things were going just fine for the wingnuts until the nine-week-old fetus’ heartbeat failed to show [...]

Can fetuses dance? The answer is yes, if by fetuses you mean babies and toddlers, babies and toddlers on YouTube who did not give their permission to be used in this video. THUS, all abortion should be illegal. Oh, and by the way, there will now be “at least two” fetuses testifying before the Ohio [...]

So this is totally normal, sane thing to do: “A fetus has been scheduled as a legislative witness in Ohio on a unique bill that proposes outlawing abortions after the first heartbeat can be medically detected.” When the fetus refuses to answer the committee’s questions, will it be held in contempt and arrested? What exactly [...]

John Boehner is becoming House speaker. It is time to learn who John Boehner is. John Boehner is a dull shell of a human. According to a new profile of the man, John Boehner, who has very sensitive tear ducts, seems to be very worried that he will be perceived as a child. “This is [...]

Ohio Republican YOUNG GUN (middle-aged white man) congressional candidate Rich Iott is well-known now for the revelation that he likes to spend all his free time wearing Nazi costumes and prancing around pretending to be a Nazi. So obviously no Republican leader would appear in public with this man, correct? WRONG. John Boehner is showing [...]

Muslins are everywhere, and the only way to stop their rise to power in America is to remind Americans that Muslins may indeed be everywhere.

What this year’s crop of insane GOP/Teabagger candidates had lacked, so far, was really only a Tea Party-backed Republican nominee hand-selected as one of Eric Cantor’s “Young Guns” who also spent all his spare time dressed up like an actual Nazi Waffen SS soldier playing German Invasion in the woods around Toledo. And now, the [...]

Here is your “politician saying ‘fuck’ in public” of the day: Chris Redfern, chair of the Ohio Democratic Party. There is a video! They don’t censor it! He summons his anger and says “fuckers!” Fun for the whole family. [WTOV9]

CNN sets it up: “Anthony Fossaceca, a blogger for OhioDaily.com, lambasted Kasich’s closing statement in Tuesday’s Ohio Governor debate as ‘the lamest, most cliche closing in debate history.’” And this blogger said it seemed like John Kasich made an anecdote about a Bob Evans conversation up. But CNN came to the rescue with their huge [...]

Oh jesus fucking christ, they’re just doing this to get on Wonkette now. UPDATE: Haha, now this is a “private” video. Luckily, we’ve got another copy.

Barack Obama would like to sing a love ballad with the economy, but the economy is sick and bed-ridden and being a real dick right now, so he has to make speeches to the American people about it, and did so this afternoon in Ohio. Yes, the media would prefer to talk about some random [...]

Eric Deaton is the Constitution Party candidate for U.S. Senate in Ohio, and he has been endorsed by local Teabagger groups, and now he has been endorsed by a county prosecutor as somebody who has sex with minors, the end. “The indictment alleges that between March 20, 2006, and March 25, 2007, Deaton engaged in [...]

The editor of the Boardman News — which outshines even the New York Times in producing coverage specific to Boardman, Ohio — appended this note to a letter sent in by the local Democratic Party chairman, about Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank destroying the moral fabric of their town with his public displays of gayness. Maybe [...]

The Tea Party Exchange of Dayton, Ohio — a customer-loyalty program that was supposed to reward Teabaggers with discounts, TeabaggerMarts with new customers, and take a little off the top for the Tea Party itself — has shut down operations after a remarkably short time on this earth, reports the Talking Points Memo muckrakers. Aren’t [...]

Last week, Joe Biden was at a fundraiser for Senate candidate Lee Fisher when he opened his big mouth. “LeBron James is coming back,” Biden said. Last night, LeBron James announced that some “privileged” kids were getting scholarships to the University of Phoenix so that they will get a bad education and also that he [...]
