The truth finally comes out. Republicans are intimidated by Obama
By Captain Coolaid Presented without commentary.
Now Obama Is Secretly Jewish
Not only is Obama secretly Muslim, he’s also secretly Jewish: Obama is the “the first Jewish President”. That’s the title of New York magazine’s lead article, written by John Heilemann and quoting a major Obama fundraiser. [...] Should each and every … Continue reading

Firebagger Report
What happens when you increase the number of claims adjusters for an oil spill by 50%, allow claimants to use the internet to apply, reduce average processing time to just ten days, and put the man in charge of the … Continue reading
Just Like Bush, Part MMXCLIV
Quite the opposite of Reagan’s philosophy, Katrina proved that Americans are most afraid when their government is NOT there to help. So I took notice of this White House press release on oil spill claims in the SBA disaster response … Continue reading
Obama’s Hole-In-One
I have done this exactly once in many tries (though I never get enough tries): Via.
