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 [...]
Read More..>>DemocRAT Party Condemns MoveOn
The Republicans are right to call my party the Democrat Party: after seeing the despicable tally of votes to condemn MoveOn (more votes to condemn a freaking ad than there were to give soldiers time off), that’s the only conclusion I can come to: more than half od Senate Democrats are a bunch of rats. [...]

Conquering the Drawbacks of Democracy
Conquering the Drawbacks of Democracy
By Philip Atkinson
President George W. Bush is the 43rd President of the United States. He was sworn in for a second term on January 20, 2005 after being chosen by the majority of citizens in America to be president.
Yet in 2007 [...]
How My Mind Works
I was at the Grey Lodge in the Mayfair section of Northeast Philadelphia last Friday for Friday the Firkenteenth, when the lodge taps gazillions of firkens of high quality, high-potency local and micro-brewed beers, sitting at a table with Christina and talking with a complete stranger, an older guy, probably around fifty. He was [...]

Captain Queeg is furious that Iran has detained four Iranian-Americans accused of spying. The charges are almost surely bogus, and the detentions almost certainly political statements.
“Their presence in Iran — to visit their parents or to conduct humanitarian work — poses no threat,” the Bush statement said. “Indeed, their activities are typical of the [...]
Dear SEPTA: Fuck You.
Via the indispensable SEPTAWATCH comes the little-noticed news that effective July 31, SEPTA is planning on doing away with 60-cent transfers (already unfair and obsolete when you consider how well the Metrocards work in NYC). That means that if you need to transfer between a trolley/the El/the Broad Street line and the bus, it [...]

In Which I Agree With the AFA (Well, Sort Of).
Via atrios and Pandagon, I learned that one of the sex-obsessed dingalings at the AFA wants to launch a boycott of Philadelphia.
Diane Gramley, president of the American Family Association of Pennsylvania, contends the presence of the signs in an area known as the “Gayborhood” is an affront to Pennsylvanians like herself who view homosexual acts [...]
Open Letter to David Ignatius: What the Hell Is Wrong With You?
Dear David Ignatius:
In today’s column, you write:
Many of Bush’s international policies are sensible
because they seek to preserve a measure of American
influence in a world that doubts our leadership.
Oh jeepers creepers, this is SO wrong. Why, Mr. Ignatius, do you suppose the “world doubts our leadership”?
I’ll tell you since you don’t seem to understand: it is [...]
I Always Said They Were Idiots
Due in no small part to signing every online petition that comes my way, perhaps it’s no surprise that I’ve ended up on the GOP’s mailing list. Every week or so, I get something from the national and state parties. It’s actually been a great source of fun. Last week, the national [...]
