Let’s see, climate change is a horrific ongoing disaster and it’s caused by human-made machinery farting out fossil fuel smoke and anusburger cows farting out actual cow farts, and your grandchildren will be Diabetic Sea Monkeys living deep beneath the glowing nuclear sea of the Great Gulf Lake of Mississippi-Canada, if they survive the Eugenics [...]
It’s been a long time since members of Congress had any chance of swaying a colleague’s vote. It’s been even longer since they could do it with the strength of their rhetoric. Why do we even have a floor of the House anymore? Just let members of Congress works from home and send votes from [...]
Using a GPS tracking device as a “pen,” Nick Newcomen drove 12,328 miles around 30 states to draw the message “Read Ayn Rand” on America, in honor of the Objectivist writer made famous by Wonkette cartoonist Benjamin Frisch. According to the Wired science blog, you can only see the message if you use Google Earth. [...]
OH LOOK SOMEONE FROM CODE PINK DID SOMETHING THEATRICAL AND IRRITATING, WHAT A SURPRISE: Alaska-based oil monster Lisa Murkowski had her “resolution of disapproval” (is this a real thing with legal implications, or just a thing Murkowski made up to sound mean?) to stop the EPA from regulating carbon dioxide voted down by the Senate, [...]

Gawker has salacious details in the form of emails from the guy’s publicist suggesting that this was all “a hoax.”
A right-wing radio loudmouth in Chicago named “Erich ‘Mancow’ Muller” (hey Chicago readers: explain) thought that the “waterboarding is torture” argument was just a bunch of MoveOn.org poppycock and, as many drink-soaked former Trotskyite popinjays have done before him, submitted himself to the process to prove it — and this time, live on his show.

It really depends on what you mean by “suspend,” doesn’t it? John McCain’s maverick move to suspend his campaign so he can grandstand on something he knows literally nothing about — the American Economy — isn’t actually a suspension of anything. It’s a stupid stunt to get more campaign press coverage. And nothing is suspended [...]
