A large part of paying attention to things people think one might not much give a damn about is the ability to tune things out when they become an annoyance. With that in mind, I am quite okay with how this election cycle is playing itself out thus far. -Newton Gingrich deciding to go in on [...]

Whenever I hear a person claim that President Obama is a slave to the corporatist Wall Street culture, I know immediately that he’s one of three things – he’s either ignorant, blind to reality, or he’s promoting his own agenda. Of course Obama is a slave to Wall Street – we all are. You can’t [...]

In full hazmat suit and knee high waders, I have been picking through the cesspool that is Breitbart conservative Right-wing demagoguing regarding the late Derrick Bell and his “relationship” with President Obama. For folks who are familiar with Dr. Bell’s work, were lucky to have met him, been mentored by him, or know anything about Critical [...]

Last week, I wasn’t too sure whether Rick Santorum was running for president, or to replace the Pope. No seriously, Santorum completely lost me when he brought Satan into the political conversation last week. But I guess if you’re running for the job that requires you to end every speech with, “God Bless America,” then [...]

In a piece titled “President Obama as an alien,” Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne Jr. discusses the series of seemingly baseless and idiotic claims made to delegitimize president Obama in the last three years. I’m not sure if you’ve heard any of the many visceral reactions that fail to cast president Obama in the best of [...]

OK, so Obama’s “War on Religion” has officially ended. No offense to anyone, but I wish he took care of Jehovah Witness folks knocking on my door; or the creepy guys in white shirts who ride bikes around my neighborhood with said “war”. Oh well, maybe he’ll go after the Amish now. Something tells me [...]

So what do you do when the economy starts showing positive signs of recovery after yelling that president Obama has failed and that the country is heading in the wrong direction? Well, you do what any Republican running for the highest office in the land would do: you create a wedge issue. Yeah, it’s kinda [...]

OK, so why don’t they just go ahead and say it? Yeah, forget about FCC fines and a loss of advertisers like Glen Beck did. Just go ahead and call president Obama a “nigger,” and get it over with. Surely those assholes on that network are dying to say it; yep, you can’t convince me [...]

Well, here we are with another Post-Racial America update, folks. I gotta tell you, things here are getting better and better with each passing year. Lemme see, I think this is year number three, no? Yes, it’s funny how far we’ve come in such a short period of time. Today, we have a Republican Congressional [...]

You know what: I’m really sick of the emergence of this “angry white man” thingy that has emerged singe president Obama has stepped on the scene. It’s like all of a sudden white men everywhere are full of resentment. Wife burnt the toast? Ugh, it’s that Kenyan bastard Barack Hussein Obama’s fault. Lost a sock in the [...]

I’m pretty sure that when Barack broke out into his rendition of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” up in Harlem last night, there was a Sister who thought about throwing her draws on the stage. What?!! The brotha plays basketball, takes care of his kids, AND he can sing? Hell yeah Barack gets my vote! The [...]
