The Care’s Lousy, but at Least It’s Expensive

The toughest Family Feud question ever would be “Name a government program that reduces costs,” especially given the rather non-politically invested families that seem to appear as contestants.  Survey says that, for Washington, going broke is when the real squandering starts.  Worst of all, they blame you: your leaders think you can’t spend or save [...]

All Things Being Equal, Many Aren’t Moderates

Swinging up and down completely differs from remaining level.  A boat bouncing severely while riding stormy waves isn’t enjoying what averages out to a smooth journey.  While that’s true in the real world, it’s not so in the rather perverse confines of Washington, D.C., where even physics lessons are commonly ignored.  Within that ignoble swamp, [...]

February 27, 2009 was a very cold and rainy day in Atlanta as nearly one thousand gathered at the Georgia State Capitol to protest government bailouts and spending spiraling out of control.  Americans from all walks of life, socio-economic levels, races, and political backgrounds gathered together that day all around the country, inspired [...]

Lovely Ideas from Pretty People

It’s not as if humans are only allowed to be smart or physically striking.  We can separate the portion of that sentence from “smart” forward, steer it into Conjunction Junction, and swap out the “or” for an “and” without fear of creating incongruity, as there’s no reason why people can’t be both.  For proof, inform [...]

Palin Trying Trial and Error

February 8, 2010 by Anthony Bialy

Sarah Palin is like family to many conservatives, and not just because she would gladly bring a caribou casserole to your cousin’s graduation party.  More significantly, only those who sympathize with her are offering worthwhile criticism.  It’s like how you’d yell at your own sibling or child for misbehaving but would rightfully detonate if someone [...]

Maybe One Bubba Is Enough

Notorious right-wing reactionary Barack Obama didn’t deliver his State of the Union address in front of a rattlesnake flag, sign noting how tea’d he is, or doctored photo of himself as the Joker.  It would have been a nice touch as he momentarily faked empathy for those who have either turned on him or never [...]

What are the Tea Parties really about?

January 29, 2010 by Rebecca Wales  
Filed under Commentary

I have been pretty lucky. Since the first Tea Party back on February 27, 2009, I have been heavily involved in what has become a pretty big deal. But, what I remember most about the 300 people standing in a park right across from the White House that day was the feeling that I was [...]

Turns Out Brown Can Do Plenty for You

January 25, 2010 by Anthony Bialy  
Filed under Commentary

Once again, conservatives are confusing everyone.  The intolerant hillbillies who passed around moonshine jugs at Tea Parties/militia meet-and-greets are supposed to reject any candidate who doesn’t make Sean Hannity look like Bob Beckel.  But right-wing zealots apparently keep forgetting to intolerantly shove out those who don’t universally conform to their intolerant views.  Instead, they just [...]

Misdiagnosing the Constitution

January 18, 2010 by Anthony Bialy  
Filed under Commentary, Features

Promoting the general welfare is entirely different than generally having most people on welfare.  The word decoding game is no fun, especially when big government geeks are twisting phrases to make it seem like their beliefs are justified.  Specifically, they wring curious meanings out of every single line in the Constitution, as the left’s interpretative [...]
