Faith in Delusion 2009-01-06 22:06:53 {pic by balakov}
During the final weeks of 2008, the Washington Post ran two very different stories on very different topics that captured beautifully the delusional nature of the “conservative” mindset in its broadest sense.
The first, on December 23, concerned George W. Bush’s final visit as President to Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where he met [...] Read more:Delusion

Hate from Beyond the Grave: The Legacy of Paul M. Weyrich 2008-12-22 14:15:07 {pic by ElDave}
Paul M. Weyrich, one of those poorly educated hate-mongers who qualify as deep “thinkers” in conservative circles, finally died on December 18, at the tender age of 66. For decades, Mr. Weyrich was a tireless crusader for blind bigotry, compiling a lengthy resume of accomplishments that demonstrated just how small-minded he truly [...] Read more:Grave

Conservatives Worried that Obama Administration Won’t Be Ignorant Enough 2008-12-08 16:10:20 {pic by hoveringdog}
Of the many reasons that conservatives hate Barack Obama
and his incoming posse, perhaps the dumbest is that, well, they aren’t dumb enough. As the Washington Post’s Alec MacGillis notes, conservatives are apparently outraged that Obama will populate the White House and federal agencies with too many people who not only went to [...] Read more:Administration

Let’s Hope that Sarah Palin Doesn’t Fade Away 2008-12-02 15:51:55 {pic by Irene Roxanne (aka Irena Kittenclaw)}
It is reassuring to know that half-witted right-wing uber-celebrity Sarah
Palin is in no danger of disappearing from the political landscape anytime soon. Yesterday, she hit the campaign trail in Georgia to support the runoff election campaign of Senator Saxby Chambliss—the Republican troglodyte whose stand on issues both foreign [...]
Run for Your Lives, White People! 2008-11-05 15:48:20 {pic from mueredecine}
Now that Barack Obama has become the President-elect of the United States, we all know that the End of Days—or at least the fall of western civilization—is close at hand. Soon after he takes the oath of office, with his hand resting on a copy of the Koran and a turban harshly wrapped [...] Read more:Lives

McCainomaniacs and Palinophiles Gone Wild 2008-10-13 19:16:33 {pic by printthetruth}
It should be clear by now that the battle lines of the 2008 election extend far beyond the mere personalities and ideologies of presidential contenders John McCain and Barack Obama. In a brilliant and now-infamous piece of cinematic sociology, entitled “The McCain-Palin Mob,” blogger interrupted lets the McCainomaniacs and Palinophiles of Strongsville, Ohio, [...
Financial Flights of Fancy 2008-09-30 19:15:23 {pic by waɪ.tiː}
The rapid rise and fall of the (first) Wall Street bailout bill on Capitol Hill has engendered considerable confusion as to what, exactly, would have been bailed out. A small and exclusive club of extravagantly wealthy bankers driven to stupidity by their own myopic greed? An entire economy that’s bleeding to [...] Read more:Fancy

Republidums Don’t Need Knowledge and Experience 2008-09-28 19:13:21 {pic by sloomis08}
Liberals and progressives alike are understandably pleased about would-be Vice President Sarah Palin’s atrocious performance in an interview with Katie Couric on CBS Evening News last week. After all, Palin demonstrated her ignorance of both economics and foreign policy with such incoherent brilliance that even veteran comedienne Tina Fey was hard pressed to [...] Read more:Knowledge
Does Sarah Palin Believe in Santa Claus, Too? 2008-09-03 19:11:57 {pic by Kaptain Kobold}
There are many reasons to question the competence and qualifications of the Republican Party’s newly minted vice-presidential candidate, Alaska Governor Sarah
Palin. Her level of political inexperience on the national stage makes freshman Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama look like a seasoned veteran. She moralistically trumpets a brand of hom Read more:Claus

“Elite” Warfare 2008-08-24 19:10:19 {pic by mecredis}
The heated debate between the campaigns of Senators John McCain and Barack Obama over which candidate is more or less “elitist” is, ultimately, laughable. Regardless of how much Obama’s Chicago home cost, or how much he earned last year—or how many homes McCain really has, or how he defines “rich”—suffice it to say [...] Read more:Elite
