Stimulus in a Nutshell
Imagine an abusive husband, constantly beating the daylights out of his wife.
Imagine that same husband realizing that one beating has gone a little bit too far, and he has to make it up to his wife.
So he gets a check (from their joint checking account), gives her semi-conscious body a poke with his [...]
Joey Vento is an Idiot
Oh Jesus Christ. Joe vento’s making a stink again
On Monday, Barack Obama went across the street to Pat’s for a cheesesteak.
Same day, Hillary Clinton had a chicken cheesesteak with Italian greens in the Philadelphia suburbs.
To Geno’s owner Joey Vento, such decisions showed such a lack of courage that neither Democrat deserves to be president.
“If they [...]
Glenn Beck: More Freaky Friday
A few weeks ago, I listened to the moronic Glenn Beck and his right-wing Christianist dingaling buddy Joel Rosenberg go on at length about the upcoming battle between the 12th Imam and Jesus Christ as if they werecharacters in “Ghostbusters”. It was a masterpiece of gibbering insanity.
This morning, Joel made an encore performance, in [...]
Glenn Beck Listens to Too Much “Stairway to Heaven”
When I was a kid, I went through this period where I was fascinated with Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” because it was rumored to be about Satan, and that if you played the record backwards, you’d hear all sorts of backmasked messages.
Many years later, when my father’s tape player (remember cassettes?) got damaged and [...]
A Heaping Bowl of Scornflakes
Building upon my scorn for those who tell ridiculous self-serving lies because they’re biased against a given candidate, last night’s episode of “NightLine”, a show that has fallen into a death spiral since Koppel left and the odious right-wing apologist Terry Moran took over, sank to new depths last night with “Obama’s Personality Cult”.
As the [...]
Useless
Philly’s got a new police chief, and he’s put out an APB on some of the city’s most wanted criminals.
Eager to help, the Inquirer has included a jpeg you can click on to see who these criminals are.
Here is that jpeg, full size.
Can you tell who those people are? Can you even make out their [...]

In a highly dishonest and self-satisfied article, Tom Ferrick Jr. tells Philadelphia residents opposed to having slots parlors jammed down their throats to suck it up, and get used to the higher crime rates. The problem is, Ferrick’s thinking is so muddled and confused, he literally undermines his own case.
First he says:
To summarize their [...]
The Circus in House: Calls to Congress
I hope everybody enjoyed yesterday’s political theatre in the House of Reprehensibles. To recap:
1) Dennis Kucinich introduces a motion to impeach Lord Vader Vice President Cheney.
2) Steny Hoyer introduces a motion to table the bill, essentially killing it. Hoyer is a gelding Blue Dog, and is afraid of impeaching Cheney. The Democrats [...]

There’s a pretty long period of time between the end of Sam’s last visit (he went home September 9) and his next arrival (November 15 or November 17). I’m supposed to have him every other month because his mom claims she can’t afford to bring him to me every month, and unfortunately that next visit [...]
Read More..>>Why Do Right Wing Christians Hate America
The Church of God Choir of Springfield, Ohio offers new lyrics for “God Bless America” at the “Values Voter Debate, and it is truly awe-inspiring. These people are cuckoo bananas in the worst way, and a glance at their lyrics confirms the undeniable: they really do hate America. What will we tell the [...]
