Mormons losing members over anti-gay campaigns. Thank God.

Today, I read at Sensico that a Catholic priest sent a letter to his congregation telling them they need to repent if they voted Obama. Oi vey.
I say if churches or religious organizations inject themselves formally into politics, their tax exempt status should be revoked. If they can’t handle the separation of church and state, [...]

Robert Redford, of the National Resources Defense Council, has been on a campaign to stop Bush’s plan to lease 360,000 acres of pristine wilderness in eastern Utah. Bush has been driving this through in the final days of his administration. The Bureau of Land Management originally tried to hide this from the National Park Service, [...]

(VIDEO) Letterman: Top 10 Sarah Palin Excuses for giving interview in front of Turkey slaughter

And here’s some of my own Palin Excuses:
It was my way of flippin’ the bird to Katie Couric.
Turkeys? I thought those were McCain staffers bein’ bled out. My mistake.
I wasn’t here for Halloween when Pastor Muthee drove the witches out of Wasilla, so I really needed some good holiday fun.
Annnnh, you [...]

Americans Rejected ‘Drill, Baby, Drill.’ Bush Should Respect Our Choice.
By Robert Redford
November 17, 2008

Part of the change Americans just voted for in overwhelming numbers was to move away from the failed energy philosophy of “drill, baby, drill” to a more farsighted strategy, emphasized by Barack Obama, based on clean, renewable energy and efficiency. Yet [...]

Can SuperObama save the Titanic?

 

Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s SuperObama!

Yes, Mr. President-Elect, like it or not, it’s what you need to be.
You’re not only going to have to be ready on Day One, you’re going to have to shoot out of the gate like a speeding bullet. And able to leap tall [...]

Dianne Feinstein is not sure she’ll ever be able to watch the movie “Milk,” even though she’s in it.
There is 1978 footage of a stricken Feinstein in the opening minutes of the new Gus Van Sant biopic of Harvey Milk, her colleague on [...]

Michael Jackson becomes a Muslim woman named Mikaeel

Do you think Jacko thinks if he’s become a Muslim the Bahrain Sheik will drop the $10m lawsuit against him? 
Or maybe Michael’s tired of Maddona Kabbala getting all the press?

(VIDEO) Sarah Palin pardons turkey. Then does interview in front of turkey bloodbath

Is this a Monty Python skit? Or maybe a scene from a movie?
Fargo perhaps? I fully expect her to turn around and point a gun on the Turkey butcher. (Except in this case our heronie would definitely go for the animal kill.)

Or maybe The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Sarah as [...]

Joe the Plumber book to come out Dec. 1. Read all about it!

Relaxin’, waitin’ for the cash cow.

Gosh, just in time for holiday recession shopping. How timely.
Doggonit, anyone would think that Samuel Wurzelwhatever is some kind of opportunist out for personal gain. He thrust himself into the election limelight by lying to Obama and then using McCain, but thank God we understand now – it was all [...]
