It was announced today that self-caricaturing idiot Cynthia McKinney will run for President of the United States. Some of you may have followed her semi-illiterate ramblings, her adventures allegedly assaulting […]

If you think the blog looks very different now, it’s not your imagination. It was brought to my attention last night that Internet Explorer 7 didn’t like my previous, heavily-modified […]

It is a day that we remember, and a day that we should remember. President Franklin Roosevelt pronounced this day “a date which will live in infamy.” On this day […]
