Senator Mike Lee from (you guessed it) Utah recently posted a video of himself defending child labor, or something to that effect. I honestly couldn’t tell you his exact argument, becasue the video is sooo boring. He should really take some YouTube decorating tips from yon Sarah “blood libel” Palin. Fireplace? American flag? I’m interested! Looks like [...]

More Sadness From Arizona
January 8th, 2011 · No Comments · AS, Immigration, Politics
I’m shocked to read about the shooting in Arizona today, in which Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head and is now in critical condition, and federal judge John M. Roll was killed, among others. The suspicions that the shooter may have had political motives — including anger over immigration policy — are incredibly [...]

What He Said

From the very first words I had published on the Internet, I’ve tried to come up with clever ways to tie the world of sports to more important issues. Never have I been as successful as Bill Maher in this clip: -AR Update: The HBO police have taken the video off the web, but here’s [...]

Slate’s John Dickerson argues that Sarah Palin, the half-term governor of a sparsely populated state who doesn’t read newspapers and makes stuff up to cover for her gross lack of knowledge, is the Right’s answer to Al Gore, the Nobel Peace Prize winning two-term vice-president of the United States who tends to be ahead of [...]

The Gift that Keeps on Giving?
November 20th, 2009 · No Comments · AR, Politics
Let the Sarah Palin media blitz begin! I have no interest in watching any of the many, many interviews Palin will be doing in the coming weeks. We pretty much know how every public appearance will go: she’ll sputter nonsense, using 10 words when she needs 4, and string together empty platitudes that come close [...]

More Palin!
July 6th, 2009 · No Comments · AR, Politics
Ross Douthat had a column in the NY Times this morning bemoaning the sexism and elitism motivating the media’s treatment of Sarah Palin. As Adam Serwer points out, this follows a pattern of conservatives suddenly caring about issues like sexism whenever a Republican is affected. (Bonus points for the Futurama reference). This discussion demonstrates part [...]

No More Politics as Usual
July 3rd, 2009 · No Comments · AS, Politics
Before I got bored and couldn’t listen to any more of Sarah Palin’s resignation speech, I’m pretty sure she said the phrase “no more politics as usual” at least half a dozen times. The only thing that kept me interested for a few minutes was trying to figure out what Alaskan animal was making the [...]
