Presidential Reunion March 3rd, 2010 @ 8:28 am PST
Okay, this is just awesome. Ron Howard directs Chevy Chase (as Gerald Ford), Dana Carvey (as George H. Bush), Darrell Hammond (as Bill Clinton), Will Ferrell (as George W. Bush), Dan Akroyd (as Jimmy Carter), and Jim Carrey (as Ronald Reagan) in a presidential reunion visit to Fred Armisen (as Barack Obama) and Maya Rudolph […]
McCain? Obama? Who Cares? October 21st, 2008 @ 11:28 am PDT
Lifehacker has a great list of tips to help maximize your influence in the election. The most important one is the last one, and it’s the one I’ve been trying to explain to people for months. McCain is not going to do anything about speeding on my street and Obama is not going to cut […]
Palin v. Biden October 2nd, 2008 @ 11:25 pm PDT
I simply cannot have been the only one who watched the vice-presidential debate tonight and thought that Palin’s answers were eerily similar to this famous speech. I mean, really? Really? Nucular?

Hockey Moms and Pit Bulls September 4th, 2008 @ 7:19 am PDT
I was all fired up last night about “clean coal” after watching Palin’s speech at the RNC. Obama also talked about “clean coal” in his speech last week, and it seriously bothered me.

In addition to one of the standard Surgeon General’s Warnings, packs of Natural American Spirit cigarettes are labeled: Made with 100% additive-free, whole leaf, natural tobacco.

A Metaphor for Dick Cheney April 26th, 2007 @ 7:13 am PDT
What is an appropriate metaphor for Dick Cheney? Colbert: Dick Cheney is a lioness protecting America’s cubs from the laughing hyenas of the left while the poachers of internationalism sharpen their guns … knives.
