Donald Trump has certainly given a very interesting interview to the Today show, considering he’s going to be our next president of the United States and all! “Let me just say something. There’s nobody more militaristic than me.” Cool! It’s about time we had a president with no experience in politics who is upfront about [...]

Apparently last year’s Koran-burn-threatening pastor Terry Jones decided he wasn’t getting enough attention, so last week he actually did go through with burning itself. Normally a pastor saying hateful things who only has a half dozen or so followers would be ignored, but because we’ve been graced with a thing called the modern news media, [...]

Sometime in the last century, countries that were at least somewhat capable of taking on the United States in war gave up trying. “We’re good. If those guys want to price everyone out of war, let them go ahead. We have other hobbies than making war,” they said. “Like backgammon, or funding terrorists.” So this [...]

Even as President Obama on Monday described a narrower role for the United States in a NATO-led operation in Libya, the American military has been carrying out an expansive and increasingly potent air campaign to compel the Libyan Army to turn against Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. When the mission was launched, it was largely seen as [...]

Digg this!

He should have stopped at the “uhhhhh.” So Newt was in favor of intervening in Libya, He couldn’t possibly comically completely switch his position once Obama takes his advice, right?

President Obama is spending these crucial first days of the War in Libya tending to his flocks of alpacas in the mountains of South America, so it’s understandable that it’s taken him days to notify Congress he is blowing up that African nation and to tell the rest of us why. So now, at long [...]

President Obama has been traveling around South America or wherever the past few days, taking in some sun and minor diplomacy while he sits on the beach and plays around with whatever video game controller the military provides him to go bomb places. Yesterday afternoon, he decided he would let Congress know that the United [...]

In his first nationally televised address ever, Emperor Akihito — who is 77 and apparently very shy — said he was terribly concerned about the current Nuclear Disaster, and asked for human compassion to help “overcome these difficult times.” Difficult times is a bit of an understatement. Authorities say a containment vessel at the Fukushima [...]

Do you get the feeling America is in actual meltdown, for real this time, and that the outcome is as hazy as some night-time web video streaming on Al Jazeera from Libya or Bahrain or wherever? Pictured above is a Twitter post by Indiana Deputy Attorney General Jeff Cox, who responded to a Mother Jones [...]

Massachusetts police are investigating the theft of approximately 1,500 “Toys for Tots” toys that were supposed to be delivered to needy children rather than thieved. This comes just days after a similar incident in Maine, in which a shrewd entrepreneur silent-auctioned an entire Toys for Tots warehouse on eBay. C’MON AMERICA. Children are already the [...]

Did you enjoy the million new Wikileaks’ secret documents with your leftover turkey? Of course not. There are just too many documents! And that’s why Wonkette is launching its own version of Wikileaks, the Wonkileak — each release will consist of exactly one (1) document. And we guarantee that each release will completely shame every [...]

Barack Obama says he’s going to freeze all federal workers’ pay for two years, so maybe they will get an idea of what it’s like to have a private-sector job in America, where all wages outside of Wall Street and Silicon Valley have been frozen since the Recession began way back in 2008. But one [...]

Congratulations, America! The U.S. war in Afghanistan has now lasted longer than the Soviet war in Afghanistan. That’s nine years and fifty-three days for us, so far, and nine years and fifty days for the USSR. One cool thing about always having wars in the same brown-people countries year after year and decade after decade [...]

So this dog saved a bunch of people during some terror bombing in Afghanistan. What a brave dog! Like all heroes, this dog was sent to America to go on teevee, so it could become famous and live with a family of Army heroes. Sadly, the dog was also sent to live in Arizona: Target [...]
