Now that Rick Santorum is kind of the Republican frontrunner, all of his years of dumb statements are coming back to bite him on the ass. Here he is on video in 2008 saying that Protestantism “is a shambles, it is gone from the world of Christianity as I see it.” You certainly don’t need […]

Mayoral candidate Jefferson Smith got a boost today from bikey folks: Alternative transportation PAC Bike, Walk, Vote declared Smith their pick for replacing Sam Adams next year.

The Spread of Spreading
First there was Spreading Santorum… “…the frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.” Then there was Spreading Romney… “…to defecate in terror.” And now there’s Spreading Gingrich: It’s Newt’s turn. Submit your definition of gingrich and take your shot at internet immortality. I didn’t have anything to […]

The Romney Private Sector Investment Plan: Ask Mom and Dad for Cash
Captain Tone-Deaf Soundbite strikes again: “The president wanted to encourage solar energy and he thought by taking $500 million and giving it as a loan to a company would do that,” Romney continued. “It did just the opposite. Not understanding the private enterprise system explains why he doesn’t understand that. “Because my guess is that […]

Santorum on George W. Bush
Do Republicans really think that arguing against the auto bailout is going to win them points with Michigan voters? Like Mitt Romney, Santorum is not only arguing against the bailouts, he’s also invoking the verboten GWB-word to damn them even further: When asked about the government bailouts of Wall Street and the auto industry, Rick […]

Santorum Donors Are Just as Obsessed with Other People’s Sex Lives as Santorum Himself
Dig this crazy appearance by major Santorum super PAC donor Foster Freiss on MSNBC: First he says our culture needs a “therapy session” because we all think about sex too much, and then he resurrects the old joke about Bayer aspirin being the best, cheapest form of contraception. Because everything would just be all right […]

Sarah Palin Is Perfectly Willing to Be the Republican Candidate, If You Need Her
The Page has highlighted an interesting conversation between Sarah Palin and a Fox Business Network reporter about the possibility of a brokered Republican convention: BOLLING: Governor, a lot of people are saying it can’t happen. I don’t necessarily agree with them. If one of the nominees, one of the GOPers, doesn’t get enough delegates, it […]

Santorum-Soaked Headline of the Day
“Megadeth frontman backs Rick Santorum” “Earlier in the election, I was completely oblivious as to who Rick Santorum was, but when the dude went home to be with his daughter when she was sick, that was very commendable,” Mustaine recently told MusicRadar.com. “… You know, I think Santorum has some presidential qualities, and I’m hoping […]

Mitt Romney Tries to Woo Detroit By Saying “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt” a Second Time, in More Detail
Mitt Romney is sinking in the polls—he’s 15% behind Santorum in the latest Public Policy Polling numbers—in his home state of Michigan, with two weeks to go before the primary. Maybe his famous “let Detroit go bankrupt” editorial for the New York Times has something to do with that? Probably! So how does Romney fix […]

ROOSEVELT IN 2012
NSFW, I suppose. Doesn’t matter. Watching this is more important than your job. The IMDB page is… impressive. (Does Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter have Kevin Sorbo? It most certainly does not.) Thanks to Graham for the heads up. Graham, I’ll see you at that French titty bar, sometime around last call.

Santorum Gets Glitter Bukkake’d
Paul Constant went to see Rick Santorum speak in Tacoma, Washington last night, and files this interesting report. Of particular interest was Santorum getting glitter-bombed. Here’s Paul’s description of the event. About halfway through the handshaking, Santorum was glitterbombed. This was not just any glitterbomb, where a handful of glitter is haphazardly thrown at the […]

Santorum Rises
Rick Santorum has risen to the top of the Republican polls in Michigan, according to Public Policy Polling. While PPP notes that Santorum’s support isn’t as strong as Romney’s, it’s still a very bad sign for the Romney campaign, which counted on the continued Republican popularity of Mitt’s dad (and former Michigan Governor) George Romney […]
