Following Up with Senator Casey
Dear Ms. Newman and Ms. Schimer:
Yesterday I wrote to you about TSA’s abuse of American citizens and our children, and the disappointing response of the office, which made it sound as if Senator Casey is not concerned that the TSA is abusing its authority. I spoke again this morning with staff member Tayeesha, and she [...]

Back in March, I noted my number one post was my tribute to Meghan McCain’s breasts.

Racist Teabagger Pwned
I love it when racists talk about how Obama’s a closet Muslim and a Nazi at the same time. I also love it when they get the scorn and derision they deserve, as this particular drooling halfwit does.

I’ve given Blumenthal grief in the past for some of his sillier claims about Toby Keith, but this journey to the center of the idiot is brilliant.
The young woman talking about Glenn Beck is particularly creepy, and the “English only” gentleman..well, you’ll just have to watch it.
