Turns out, Google is in bed with liberals! And they’re “creepy.” Oh, Glenn. This is not a fight you can win: I enjoy his “I’m-not-calling-for-a-boycott” style of calling for a boycott, and I love that he ties Google in with George Soros, Van Jones, and basically all of his enemies.

The Great Teabaggy Hope?
There’s a lot of buzz about teabaggy New Jersey Governor Chris Christie right now. Yesterday, he gave a speech revealing a national plan that immediately reignited talk of a presidential run. Christie repeatedly drew on his experiences in New Jersey — tightening the state’s budget, facing down public-sector unions — to draw a harsh contrast […]

Like the Book of Revelation, with More Breasts
I Am Here…Now is a horrendous-looking movie about Robot Jesus coming back to Earth to fight gangs and polluters (you can tell he’s a robot because he has computer parts glued to his skin, and you can tell he’s Jesus because of all the Christian imagery and the fact that, like Jesus, he calls us […]

Doing the Right Thing
This video of a Mormon woman speaking out for marriage equality is absolutely an example of a religious person acting on her beliefs, taking a stand, and doing the right thing. It was posted on Valentine’s Day. She explains: I put this video on MormonsforMarriage.com during the Prop 8 debate. At the time, speaking out […]

Today’s GOP: Just Not That Likable
One of my favorite things about election season? Nate Silver. Last night, he put up a post looking at the problem with the current crop of Republican presidential candidates: None of them have exceptional likability scores. Silver goes through the last twenty years of presidential elections and sees a pattern: The people who wind up […]

Run, Donald, Run!
Donald Trump is shaking up CPAC: “While I’m not at this time a candidate for the presidency, I will decide by June whether or not I will become one,” he told the crowd.

Run, Jeb, Run!
Conservative magazine National Review is trying its damndest to convince Jeb Bush to run for president in 2012, with a cover story and a list of “at least eight reasons” why he shouldn’t wait for 2016. (Jeb has ruled out a 2012 run, but has left the door open for future runs.) Here are a […]

“I have a tie. You don’t have a tie.”
Did you watch Bill O’Reilly’s petulant pre-Superbowl interview with President Obama? O’Reilly comes across looking like a total fucking dick: I didn’t realize it was possible to be a creampuff interviewer and a douchebag at the exact same time. It’s like if you crossed Barbara Walters with a hungry rat terrier.

Florida Judge Calls Health Care Reform Unconstitutional
New York Times: A second federal judge ruled on Monday that it was unconstitutional for Congress to enact a health care law that requires all Americans to obtain commercial insurance, evening the score at two-to-two in the lower courts as the conflicting opinions begin their path to the Supreme Court. Judge Roger Vinson of Federal […]

Ted Haggard: Yep, I’m Bi
Talking Points Memo: In a new GQ profile, Rev. Ted Haggard addresses the continued assumptions that he’s gay, following revelations years ago that the prominent evangelical had a drug-fueled sexual relationship with a gay male former escort: “I think that probably, if I were 21 in this society, I would identify myself as a bisexual…He […]

She’s No Sarah Palin
Did you miss Michele Bachmann’s weird performance in Response to the State of the Union, Part Deux: Teabagger’s Delight last night? You did? Well, you’re in luck! Here it is: Unbelievable. Wonkette is, as always, very funny and depressingly right-on.
