Who really hates women?

On May 23, 2009 By

I’ve written about how some conservatives in the Cheddarsphere think liberals hate women, and as laughable as that notion is, it’s even more ironic and hypocritical given the bile directed at women by conservatives. Case in point is the nasty and vile things said being said about Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, [...]

Steele: “Obama wasn’t vetted”

On May 23, 2009 By

Apparently, GOP Chairman Michael Steele thinks President Barack Obama wasn’t properly vetted, at least according to remarks he made as a guest on Bill Bennett’s radio show:

STEELE: The problem that we have with this president is that we don’t know [Obama]. He was not vetted, folks. … He was not vetted, because the [...]

Mancow gets waterboarded, agrees it’s torture

On May 23, 2009 By

Watch Chicago radio personality Eric “Mancow” Muller get waterboarded:

Now keep in mind Mancow has previously said on his show that he didn’t believe waterboarding was torture. It’s funny how one’s opinion changes once they’ve experienced waterboarding.

Is Lorge the best the GOP can do?

On May 22, 2009 By

According to a recent Twitter update, Robert Lorge is thinking about running for the US Senate in 2010 against incumbent Russ Feingold:

So far I am leaning towards running against Feingold for US Senate, but supporters urge Lt. Governor or 8th Congress in 2010. Too early yet.

If I were Hannity, I wouldn’t get on Jessie the Body’s bad side

On May 21, 2009 By

This is just funny:

My favorite exchange? Ventura on Obama’s use of a teleprompter: “Well at least we got a president now who can read one. We didn’t have that for eight years.”

Feingold finds ways to save money

On May 21, 2009 By

In response to a request made by U.S. Senators Russ Feingold, Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), the United States Air Force (USAF) is committing to reduce its purchases of unneeded spare parts, which could save taxpayers $50 million next year. The savings will come from a reduction in the amount of excess spare [...]
