Or Maybe Not
I’ll be the first to admit it – I’m pissed off. Cold-ass/bloody nose-inducing weather, sick and tired family members, dry skin, antagonistic friends and bitter co-workers – kiss my tiny, toned tushie. Then I read this. What happens when a journalist I admire and respect compares Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to Nixon and Kennedy [...]
John Edwards Did The Right Thing
I’m upset that Edwards’ message didn’t get the support it deserves. But make no mistake, Senator Edwards suspending his campaign before Super Tuesday was the right move.

From the Denver Post: A think tank of educators, law officers, and mental-health experts would research and test the best ways to prevent school violence under a bill announced Monday by Gov.

I’m Not One for Comparing Modern Idiots to Hitler
Except when it’s funny.
I Know That Dude!

When we leave, sooner [...]
Ignorance is No Excuse
I realize this movie came out long ago, but last night I finally got to see Fast Food Nation. This morning, Tam, a long-time OILF reader, sent me this article. Coincidence? I think not. Few weeks ago, Becky told me of a mutual friend who was eating some meat and bit into a shell casing. [...]

Ummm. No.
Assbag of the Week – Michael Savage
Four major companies quickly pulled out and are no longer advertising with The Michael Savage Show. I know. We rock. Unfortunately, the USO is standing behind the Weiner. They refuse to pull their ads from his program. Listen as Savage screams about the Koran like an insecure madman. “…a document of slavery and chattel!” Doesn’t [...]
