So a couple more Republican senators, John Warner (VA) and Richard Lugar (IN), have finally figured out that Iraq is pretty much a giant clusterfuck and likely to stay that way and are now calling Bush on it. (Or maybe they’ve known that for a while but just haven’t had the balls to say anything [...]
What is it about seeing kids get totally ruined that’s so satisfying? Be sure to watch out for all those lesbian gangs. These ladies really know how to walk it out.

Most importantly, Paul now has more cash on hand ($2.4 million) than John McCain ($2 million), which is a major coup for [...]
Don’t tease the bears! If that last clip didn’t convince you that Japanese television is the most awesomely bizarre stuff on Earth, this one might. Even though I don’t live in Chicago, I want this guy for my attorney. Absolutely unacceptable. Completely acceptable. (Turn on your sound.) Finally, a list of the top ten douches [...]
I realize I haven’t posted anything yet this week, but I’m not going to apologize this time because I’ve been out celebrating my freedom.
