What happens when you combine politics, Michael Moore, Keith Olbermann, and a deadly hurricane

Does anyone really need to guess?
“I was just thinking, this Gustav is proof that there is a God in heaven,” Moore said. “To just have it planned at the same time, that it (hurricane Gustav) would actually be on its way to New Orleans for Day One of the Republican convention, up in the Twin [...]

Jamie Gorelick’s BAAAACCCKKKK!

In my opinion, 9/11 was largely the responsibility of Jamie Gorelick.  Jamie Gorelick is pure evil. Period. Her name figures prominently in several domestic disasters. Sure, she didn’t break the levees in New Orleans, but it was the climate of non-communication between agencies that contributed to the problems in a substantial way. So yeah, some [...]

South Carolina is so gay

This has got to be the stupidest/funniest thing I’ve seen in a while:

Once again, the innocent peeps of the US, primarily South Carolinians, were made aware of this very, very, bad idea by a blog, The Palmetto Scoop.  The political reaction in South Carolina was fast and furious.

Speaking of publicly declaring your stupidity…..

Fresh on the heels of the right to publicly declare your stupidity for all the world to see, I get this…..

It’s the local government that’s supposed to protect people from harm, not the feds, not Bush. Anyone that’s spent five minutes researching knows that. Did she vote to impeach Nagin or re-elect [...]

Why the people of New Orleans are screwed

Mayor Ray Nagin has been busy this week. First he attacked the very serious issue of rebuilding the World Trade Center. Then he has to address the issue of who sits where on schoolbuses.
What I’ve not seen one peep from Nagin about is this:

On practically the one year anniversary of Katrina, nothing about [...]

Boobs 4 Bourbon Street

I have been chastised more than once for interfering with people’s efforts at browsing for soft porn.  My links to Tara Reid’s boob and Paris Hilton have brought people here only to be rewarded with the desired content, but, they have to read about boring politics and other social ills, which browsing for soft porn [...]
