Moonage Political Webdream

You know you’re in a bad way when Google’s context sensitive advertising does this: Now, ya just gotta wonder why “Ann Coulter” would even come up in an article that never mentions her.  More politics by Google?  Or, is Ann’s name now so synonomous with “Jew” that Google’s engine just can’t help it? Honestly, I would [...]

I doubt anyone could say they didn’t see this coming: A lesbian couple married in Massachusetts should have the same right as heterosexual couples to now divorce in Rhode Island, lawyers for the women told the state’s highest court on Tuesday. Cassandra Ormiston and Margaret Chambers wed in 2004 soon after Massachusetts legalized same-sex marriages. [...]

Or probably any office for that matter.  Check this out: At the event in North Hampton, Iowa, a questioner took issue with Clinton’s recent Senate vote calling on President Bush to formally call the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. He argued that such a distinction confers the president with the ability to invade the [...]

The headline was simple enough: Catholic Group Urges Boycott of Miller Brewing Co. Over San Francisco Fair Sponsorship A church group is mad at a beer company.  Big whoop.  May as well have run a Britney Spears headline.  However, reading the story opens all kinds of doors.  First of all, what they were initially mad [...]

Apparently Barry Manilow decided to take a stand.  He will NOT perform on the same stage as Elisabeth Hasselbeck.  Apparently he’s afraid he will suffer the same fate as Rosie.  I find this tactic kind of strange considering he performed before Hasselbeck twice last year.  He apparently stated something to the effect he felt Hasselbeck [...]

Kathy Griffin won an Emmy for making people laugh.  Well some people anyway, I don’t have a clue who she is.  However, she felt compelled to undo that laughter with her acceptance speech: “A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this. He had nothing to do with this,” Griffin said. “Suck [...]

Whoopi Goldberg replaced Rosie Odonnell on The View.  Rosie being gone is a good thing because Rosie seemed to rely on rhetoric, stupidity, and generalizations as a basis for most of “the views”.  However, Whoopi’s been known to drop some stupid bombs of her own in the past.  Apparently not much has changed by replacing [...]

Some people are so desperate to deride our President that any little thing that happens they’ll use as justification to insult our fearless leader.  Four years ago, Piers Morgan called President Bush an idiot for falling off a Segway.  This weekend, just to prove how much of an idiot Bush had to be to fall [...]

I pretty much figured this would happen a lot sooner than I did find it.  Jeff Fecke at Shakesville ponders: ….if Craig had been arrested for public nudity or having sex in a bathroom stall, I could understand this better. If he’d been arrested for soliciting a prostitute, I’d be all in favor of him [...]

Tiny Muskens, a Dutch Bishop, really thinks if Christians refer to God as Allah, it will solve a lot of problems. I think he’s a blithering idiot.  Are the Sunni, Shiites, and Kurds fighting only against Christians in Iraq? Radical Islam is so radical only a certain TYPE of Allah is accepted.  They could care [...]
