A Worrying Trend In Lieu Of Health Reform

November 10, 2009 – 5:35 pm

A friend of mine brought to my attention one of those “bursting cyst” videos that make the internet the mysterious and enchanting place that we know and love it to be. After watching one after the other, however, it became apparent that there are too many people performing home surgeries on their cysts in this [...]

Something About ‘Health Care Reform’…

November 9, 2009 – 1:23 pm

Over the weekend, your House of Representatives passed a bill that would, depending on who you listen to, make health care coverage affordable for the vast majority of Americans or plunge the nation into a dark netherworld of socialism, its discontents and large, building-sized pictures of Josef Stalin.
Although we’re inclined to think it’s the former (for obvious [...]

GOP Death Watch: Day 39,023

November 3, 2009 – 1:46 pm

So here we have Louisiana Senator David Vitter being asked by a consituent about Vitter’s “no” vote on an anti-rape clause in a defense appropriations bill that passed, 68-30, last month. The clause/rider — the first authored by Frosh Senator Al “I Can’t Believe I’m A Senator” Franken — would prohibit funding to military contractors [...]

Bullhorn vs. Bullshit

October 16, 2009 – 12:47 pm

Yesterday at noon, some 30-40 activists, organizers and average citizens gathered to shout truth at the monolithic Humana building in downtown, Louisville with electric bullhorns. Their chief purpose was to call out Mitch McConnell’s allegiance to private health insurers, which is pretty self-evident.

McConnell Says Something False. Again.

September 24, 2009 – 4:35 pm

Look! It’s our non-sleeping senator, Mitch McConnell, on the front page of the left-leaning news-and-celebrity T&A website The Huffington Post. And hey, there’s John Boehner, too! What did these fine men do to deserve such an honor? Why, they’re lying dicks!

Healthcare Bullshit Spectrometer

August 20, 2009 – 4:14 pm

Following Stephen’s post below, I thought it’d be helpful to provide this link to ForeignPolicy.com, which lists the most common and outrageous lies told in America about health care systems in non-American places, like France, which we hate with a passion. Because nothing on our globalized planet exists in a vacuum –  not to mention [...]

Sometimes They Come Back…

July 31, 2009 – 1:15 pm

Anne Northup is our new national guardian against lead-laden Chinese toys?! Nooooooooo!
The ex-congresswoman from Louisville, who has been out of the limelight since her 2006 defeat for re-election after 10 years in the U.S. House, is to be nominated as a commissioner on the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission, the White House announced Thursday evening.
Northup [...]

McConnell Understimulated

July 27, 2009 – 12:28 pm

Muppet-faced creature of Washington Sen. Mitch “Beaker” McConnell is having fun on the tee vee! Fortunately for him, CNN’s John King is too brain damaged to point out that, over these past six months, the Kentucky senator’s own party has provided no alternatives whatsoever to any of these problems save vapid, obstructionist criticism, the “birther” [...]

Reagan Statue Unveiled; Freedom Never Looked Better

June 3, 2009 – 4:40 pm

Watch as Nancy “Ouija” Reagan has a personal moment in front of thousands of cameras, expresses gradtitude toward San Fransisco liberal-demon Nancy Pelosi, and totally ignores Mitch McConnell — whom loves The Gipper more than anyone in that whole goddamned room — before unveiling a statue of her late husband (he was a President, we [...]

Say Anything, Jim.

May 19, 2009 – 12:06 pm

So sad, really, when two of your friends just can’t get along… you know the love is there, but it just comes out all wrong.
The latest passive-aggressive statement from Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Krazy) to his colleague and estranged friend Sen. Mitch McConnell involves the former accusing the latter of being a “control freak,” and then [...]
