Not Quite Getting There about Ron Paul
Well, Romney’s taken Nevada, and Ron Paul’s still standing. The reason he’s still standing, largely, is due to the short-term memory on the part of the media. Most recently, Ron Paul played the part of the smiling, shucksy, old-fashioned country … Continue reading

Ron Paul Should Stop Before He Hurts Himself
Final word about last night’s Republican debate: Ron Paul was utterly dissonant and actually incoherent. A few more debates and mainstream discourse will see Admiral Stockdale references; why is this man here? It is time for this farce to end. … Continue reading
Wall Street is Technically a Street in America
So I guess we can’t call this a gaffe from Mitt Romney. Nor is it a laugh line, because it isn’t funny. Mitt Romney is American street the way Hot Topic is punk: through plasticity, monoculture, and artifice. Mitt Romney … Continue reading

Will Hayes Own Up?
By Emilia1956 It might be harmful to your health supporting the President. Already his supporters have been identified as the dumbest motherfuckers in the world by Jane Hamsher, GOP trolls paid by Andrew Breitbart by Joan Walsh, and now it … Continue reading

Yes, I know I’m ripping off a two decades old Doonesbury here. Everybody rips off Doonesbury. By Magic Love Hose. Talk to him here!
Ron Paulite Drinking Game
I insist on adding one: every time a Ron Paul supporter says the word “fiat,” take a shot. Every time a Ron Paul supporter uses states rights as an excuse for any oppressive policy, take a shot. Every time a … Continue reading
Ron Paul Avoiding Occupation
The laughable pretense that Ron Paul lurves Occupy protesters has now collapsed: Paul soon took the stage, and as Adeyemi started shouting for the mic-check he was quickly surrounded by Paul supporters. Many began cheering to drown out Adeyemi’s recitation of … Continue reading
