Why is it that everyone who isn’t the President thinks we need to do something for this country? I’m not saying that there aren’t things we could do to improve our great nation, but I don’t get the urgency that many opponents to the current administration attach to the issue. Now Lou Dobbs, former CNN host who left his nightly platform in order to reach the American people, is throwing his hat into the ring.
“For the first time I’m actually listening to [people who want him to run for office]. … I don’t think I have the nature for it. … But we’ve got to do something for this country.”
Doesn’t he realize that if he were to be put in charge of ANYTHING, there would be an anti-thesis to Dobbs just waiting to take his spot, because… something needs to be done. Continue Reading »

Even though it’s probably not the best idea to yell at a priest on air, Chris Matthews does make an awful lot of good points during his tirade against the priest who doesn’t quite know how to manufacture a counterargument other than “we want to create life not end it.”
The issue at hand isn’t really whether or not abortion should be illegal. Chris Matthews assumes that fine, you guys want it illegal? It’s illegal. Now, what’s the penalty for a woman that gets one?
The priest can’t answer, and says that’s not his area of expertise, to which Chris Matthews counters that what he’s trying to do is interefere with the law, yet he can’t back up his statement that he believes abortion is murder. If the catholic church truly believes abortion is murder, how is there no call for imprisonment or criminal charges against those who have one? What’s the point of making something illegal with no penalties attached to it?
It’s an interesting exchange, even though Matthews needs to calm the hell down at times. Watch and see what you think for yourself.

Thankfully this is just an SNL skit, not an announcement, but I think it does pretty accurately sum up what would happen to the world if Beck and Palin were to ever join forces and win an election. I think it’s definitely possible that their stupidity would literally manifest itself as a physical force capable of destroying earth. What? Who needs science? Isn’t that one of their core tenants anyways?

And I take a quote from a concerned reader:
This kind of bishop is the reason I no longer attend church. I understand they don’t like abortion and gays, but in the scope of the church’s supposed expertise — the entire universe — these really shouldn’t be anywhere near the top.
The only things left to the church after science and secular humanism eviscerated most of the teachings, is crazy half formed ideas like this. You cant support Mussolini then put in a Nazi pope and be the church of peace. You cant fund anti-gay rights and be the church of love. What’s left, make people feel really weird without helping them solve problems?
I’m not sure if I’d go as extreme as that but sure, I can support someone who doesn’t agree with the way the Church system currently works. I trust and pray that all of us will find peace with the Lord….and eliminating Gays.

I’ll give you one guess as to who Martha Stewart is talking about here.
Man, we’ve had a lot of Sarah Palin-related quote of the days recently. Hopefully this book hype will die down soon and we can stop talking about her until at least 2010. Which is soon. Shit.
See the video of Stewart’s comments after the jump:

The city of Cleveland has done anything and everything to make LeBron James feel like the king he has been made out to be, including hanging a giant banner across the street from Quicken Loans Arena. The current banner is of LeBron doing his traditional arms wide open stance he does before games with the slogan We Are All Witnesses. In an attempt to push a new line of athletic clothing, Nike would like to change the banner to an image of James shirtless, looking pissed off next to the new slogan Prepare For Combat.
Cleveland rejected the image, as they should have.
Reasons for banning the image ranged from black stereotypes (he has a few tattoos on his body) to the snubbing of the word Cleveland or even Cavaliers, which the current banner has. While those reasons are valid, the main concern for me, as it should be for Nike, is the word combat. Continue Reading »
