*exceptions may apply Oklahoma is perhaps the wingnuttiest state in the union. This is the state that has elected geniuses like James Inhofe and Tom Coburn to the U.S. Senate. So, it’s probably no surprise that Oklahoma is leading the way in finding new ways to shame and punish women who have unapproved sex. On […]

Bwahahahahaha! *breathe* bwahahahahahaha! Conservative bloggers are so silly. They got punked by Bill Ayers (as proved by our very own troll, RICO, in yesterday’s Open Thread). Here’s what happened: A conservative blogger by the name of Anne Leary ran into Ayers buying coffee in an airport. Recognizing him, she started talking to him in what […]

Did you know that the Bible had a liberal bias? The brainiacs at Conservapedia want to do something about that. (If you’ve never heard of Conservapedia, it’s Andrew Schlafly’s answer to Wikipedia, which has a liberal bias according to him.)

There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America’s military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the “Obama problem.” Don’t dismiss it as unrealistic. America isn’t the Third World. If […]
