If the WordPress plugin I acquired is working correctly – and it being me that’s probably not the case – that means when you visited this site, you saw the message noting my opposition to SOPA and PIPA (the respective Senate and Congressional anti-piracy bills).
SOPA and PIPA are supposed to protect intellectual property, but […]
Important stuff.
No, seriously.
The point of this segment and the stunt is a furtherance of Colbert’s message with his (now Jon’s) Super PAC: how the rules allow for all sorts of financial shenanigans in politics, how we got there, and why it’s important that we raise the issue. It’s funny, but also scary, how […]
I expect a lot of debate over whether this guy is crazy or simply playing it. My vote is for the latter. He’s too concise, specific, and absolutely dead on with his use of absurdity as satire for this to be crazy. Particularly the bit about ponies, which is actually almost verbatim the talking […]
When the Penn State scandal broke several months ago and the depth of the cover-up was revealed, the cries of outrage were […]
The fact is if I become your nominee we will make the key test very simple – food stamps versus paychecks. Obama is the best food stamp president in American history. More people are on food stamps today because of Obama’s policies than ever in history. […]

From Aron Heller of The Associated Press comes the story of a small child – a little girl – who is spit upon and cursed at by ultra-Orthodox Jews as she walks to school in the town of Beit Shemesh, just West of Jerusalem. (watch video)
It’s a […]
Occupy Albany has made a shocking, controversial, and altogether unfathomable demand: to take money out of politics.
Ridiculous! Ludicrous! Far too specific! This would undermine everything!
Personally, I think there should be MORE money in politics. In fact, I say do away with […]
Arrests have finally been made in the ballot fraud case in the city of Troy, the culmination of a two year investigation that feels like it has dragged on forever. The arrests include the sitting City Council President, Clem […]
Myself, along with many others on Twitter, exploded in a barrage of jokes and puns upon learning of the death of North Korea’s despot and l’enfant terrible, Kim Jong-Il.
The country’s state media reported his death late Sunday night, citing “physical exhaustion during a train ride.” With the Kim Family Regime’s history of outrageous claims and […]
