Tweet I never thought that Karl Rove and I would agree on anything.  But I’m glad that the man called a spade a spade when he said, “If you look underneath the surface of the Tea Party movement you will find that it is not sophisticated.” He went on to explain that the Tea Party [...]

Tweet As some of you other there have gathered I can’t stand Christine O’Donnell, Republican candidate for Senate in Delaware.  She and her Teabagging ilk are the bottom of the barrel in American politics.  Not that the current crop of mainstream Democrats and Republicans are better– its just that they seem to have a better [...]

Tweet So it came out yesterday that on the heels of doing a Glee inspired Rock Horror Picture Show, Ryan Murphy has expressed interest in doing a big screen remake of the classic film.  I say go.  Murphy has got the hot hand in Hollywood with Glee and we know he’s got a keen visual [...]

Tweet Am I the only one who finds it disturbing that in the 21st century a US Senate candidate should have to open a campaign ad with, “I’m not a witch”?  Didn’t that kind of thing go out of style in Salem circa 1693?  Apparently not.  But that’s not O’Donnell’s only problem. No Christine O’Donnell, [...]

Tweet Fun fact to know and impress your friends with… Brazil has a literacy requirement for elected office.  That’s right.  The Brazilian Constitution does not allow illiterate candidates to hold legislative and government office.  They like to try and keep unqualified persons from entering government– I’m looking at you Christine O’Donnell.  How did this fun [...]

Tweet So last week was Banned Books Week and the Christian Science Monitor took time out to point to five books that strangely haven’t been banned.  That’s right these books are somehow less offensive than Lolita, Catcher In The Rye, or Harry Potter: “Mein Kampf,” by Adolf Hitler The dictator’s famous manifesto contained such offensive [...]
