2010 State of the Union Drinking Game

It’s the end of January, and you know what that means. It’s time to get together with your friends, crack open some beers, and gather around the TV. It’s time to laugh and cry and shout obscenities. That’s right people, are you ready for some State of the Union address? We are, and we’ve come up with a drinking game to prove it.

“Let me be clear” – sip
(If he’s actually clear- pound)
“Scott Brown” – sip
“My name is Barack Obama, and I also have a truck” – pound
“It reminds of my childhood in Kenya” – pound

Something Is Blowing in Utah

It sounds to me like Utah State Senator Chris Buttars has some serious issues with “the Gays.”  He’ll allow them to rent and own property, but anything beyond that seems out of the question.  Now, don’t get him wrong, he meets with “the Gays” here and there. Hell, they were at his house two weeks ago, and he’s TOTALLY not making that up. Just ask my girlfriend, who you can’t meet because she’s from Canada, she was there when “the Gays” came over.
Watch the video and see if you can …

The Douchebag of the Year Awards

2009 was a year stuffed to the gills with egregious behavior from spectacularly ridiculous people. With so many crude epithets at our disposal to describe these knuckleheads, none is so apropos as the one sobriquet that aptly describes quitters, hecklers, teabaggers, extortionists, and balloon hoaxers alike: douchebags.

Given the explosion of douchiness all around us, we had to dig deep to select these profiles in ignominy, but here they are — our awards for this year’s 20 biggest douchebags in America.

Now the Bible Is Too Liberal?

A loony band of right-wing revisionists are now busy rewriting the Bible. Yes, rewriting the Bible.

The Conservative Bible Project — brought to you by the same delusional brain trust behind Conservapedia — seeks to correct the Bible by excluding “liberal passages” which they claim were inserted into the original text. One such passage flagged for deletion is the well-known story of the adulterous woman brought before Christ by a crowd eager to see her punished, where Jesus says the one without sin should cast the first stone.

That darn Jesus—what a crazy liberal he was!

Don’t Let Your Mother Find You Peeking at This!

Leave it to Republicans to screw up yet another American tradition—the pin-up calendar.

For the fifth year in a row, the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute (CBLPI), a conservative women’s group, is putting out its fifth annual Great American Conservative Women Calendar.

And if you haven’t heard yet, the list of what I guess Republicans consider “hotties” is about as big a boner-killer as I can imagine.

Obama’s Speech Lacked Punch

Straight up, I’m a fan of President Obama. I think he has the potential to be one of the best—he’s thoughtful, articulate, intelligent, and dare I say it, seems to want to improve this country.

But the other night during his health care speech to both houses of Congress, I hate to say it, but the man shit the bed. He needed to stop with the polite talk, and communicate in a way the people of this country could understand.

Here’s the speech he should have given…
