Well, technically speaking, it would be a coup de’tát of the entire government, since the Senate is the one branch of the Federal government that lacks an iron grip of the Democratic party to enforce its wishes. And that is only through the peculiarities of the Senate’s own rules, which give a 40-vote minority the [...]
Courtesy of our neighbors to the north comes this chilling bit of U.N.-inspired wackiness. In essence, the United Nations wants to make it illegal for anyone to “defame” religion, because doing so somehow incites violence.
Any guesses as to which religion they have in mind? Here’s a hint; the measure is being pushed through by the [...]
Today’s Associated Press coverage of Doctor Utopia’s visit to a Chicago-area deli was very illuminating as to the sort of coverage we can expect from the press over the next few years:
President-elect Barack Obama grabbed his lunch to go Friday and artfully dodged a question about the auto industry woes he’ll inherit.
“We got the corned [...]
Anybody remember the reports that, in the waning days of the Clinton White House, the staff indulged in petty acts of vandalism, including the destruction of computer keyboards’ “W” keys? (For those who think that’s just an urban legend designed by the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy to smear the Democrats in general and the Clinton [...]
Apparently, one of the callers in to Glenn Beck’s radio show has come up with the idea that the next economic “bubble” we face will be a “dollar bubble”. I must say, I don’t see a lot of flaws with her reasoning, and I find the prospect more than a little disturbing.

It’s a question that has vexed the world since 1948; peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors. Never fear, loyal readers! Dr. Utopia has a plan which will bring the lions and the lambs to table. And indeed, he says Israel would be “crazy” not to accept it.
And the outline of this wounderous plan?
The Arabs [...]
According to that bastion of right-wing propaganda MSNBC, back in July the US shipped 550 metric tons of yellowcake uranium to Canada. Well, nothing special you might say. But this particular yellowcake was found in… wait for it… Iraq!
And the best part is, apparently this was found by US forces in Iraq back in 2003. [...]
A friend of mine asked why I hadn’t done anything here to honor our nation’s veterans, and my reply was that my first instinct was that it somehow felt self-serving to do so since I myself am a veteran (USAF). However, upon reflection, I do think it is important to say a big “thank you” [...]
Kudos to Representative Paul Broun (R-GA) for actually having the guts to call the incoming administration what it is, and warning of the peril attendent to such a messianic euphoria.
In an article from the Augusta Chronicle, the Congressman remarked that “we’ve elected a Marxist to be president of the United States.” Woot! Someone with the [...]
It seems that Doctor Utopia has responded to Ringo Ahmadinejad’s letter from the other day. I am sure that Ringo will take his admonition that Iran’s “support for terrorist organizations has to ease”.
Not “cease”. “Ease”.
So, perhaps if Iran only cut their support for the “we will destroy Israel” Hammas or Islamic Jihad movements by, what, [...]
