Virginia To Legislate Against The Anti-Christ
From Daily Kos: This seems reasonable enough: RICHMOND, FEB. 9 — The House of Delegates is scheduled to vote Wednesday on a bill that would protect Virginians from attempts by employers or insurance companies to implant microchips in their bodies against their will. But wait until to hear why some Delegates are supporting the measure: […]
John Mayer’s Penis
Singer-songwriter John Mayer did an interview with Playboy magazine recently that he may have wished he didn’t do: “My d–k is sort of like a white supremacist,” Mayer went on. “I’ve got a Benetton heart and a f—in David Duke cock. I’m going to start dating separately from my d–k.” Oh my.

Democrats To Force Vote On GOP Budget Plan
Last week, Rep. Paul Ryan presented the alternate Republican budget plan. It included privatization of Social Security and Medicare vouchers and would supposedly close the U.S. debt in 50 years. Republican leaders were fairly ambivalent about the budget since they spent all summer saying “we love Medicare.” Democratic leaders are introducing a resolution to make […]

Misogyny Bowl 2010

This year, a theme emerged from the commercials: how much women suck. Example #1: FloTV ad Example #2: Dove for Men ad Women are roughly about […]
Obama To Hold Televised Health Care Summit
