Faith-Based President
The president gets prayers by Blackberry every day: The morning devotional is sent each morning via email by White House faith director Joshua DuBois, the Associated Press reports. Obama said he called the daily prayer a “wonderful practice,” adding that … Continue reading
I Smell A Rat
Robert Krentz was apparently prone to helping illegal immigrants lost in the desert. Now immigration-fearmongerers are using his murder to push their scare-ware. But something stinks: However, after deputies and U.S. Border Patrol agents tracked footprints from the crime scene … Continue reading
James Baker is Not an Idiot
As much as I despise him for his role in the 2000 recount battle, Baker gives the president’s foreign policy accurate accolades. Go here to watch. By not getting in the boat with lunatics, Baker and Frum are now what’s … Continue reading

“Young” Republicans Go Gaga
In a sign of how badly the GOP has fumbled its future with a rising generation of progressive youth, the “Young Eagles” who enjoyed that lesbian-bondage club in LA were all under the age of 45. Yes, that’s what qualifies … Continue reading
Morning Awful
Bill-O does his best imitation of a cancer victim. Because he is a cancer.
