You never really know a presidential candidate until you’ve thrown back a couple shots of tequila together.
In just a few short weeks, this country will be turning an eye to Iowa. Why? Because they grow our corn there. And because they’ll be holding the Iowa presidential caucus on January 3. Now, in addition to acting like a seventh grade boy and laughing when you say the word “caucus,” this is also a time to sit back and really take in what the presidential candidates have to offer. In other words, it’s time to wonder what they’re like to party with. After all, you only really know a person once you’ve thrown back a couple shots of Patron Silver together. And only then can you really know if they’re the kind of person you would want to elect President. Imagine, if you will, what a party with the leading candidates in attendance would look like…here’s my take on things: Continue reading this post…
How to know you’re fucked: The Catholic League President, Bill Donahue, thinks you are injecting too much religion into politics.
GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee’s new Christmas-themed campaign ad — which may or may not feature a subliminal cross image — has found an unlikely critic in Catholic League president Bill Donahue.The opening seconds of Hucakabee’s Christmas spot features the candidate seated in front of a window pane which appears to form the shape of the Christian cross.

The Bush administration has spent 600% more on paper shredding than the previous administration, as they try to protect secret information from congr…..Al Qaeda.
Behold, the Bush Administration in chart form: Federal spending on paper shredding has increased more than 600 percent since George W. Bush took office.
This chart, generated by usaspending.gov, the U.S. government’s brand spanking new database of federal expenditures, shows spending on “contracts for paper shredding services” going back to 2000. Click here for the full, heartbreaking breakdown. In 2000, the feds spent $452,807 to make unpleasant truths go away; by 2006, the “Cheney Effect” had bumped that number up to $2.9 million. And by halfway through 2007, the feds almost matched that number, with $2.7 million and counting.
Pretty much says it all.
President Bush demands that Iran explain their nuclear program. Iran responds that they already told the U.S. it was for energy purposes so they can export more oil. Ask if Bush needs a pie chart.
President Bush on Tuesday called on Iran to explain why it had a secretive nuclear weapons program, and warned that any such efforts must not be allowed to flourish “for the sake of world peace.”
“Iran is dangerous,” Bush said after an Oval Office meeting with Italian President Giorgio Napolitano. “We believe Iran had a secret military weapons program, and Iran must explain to the world why they had a program.”
Bush’s comments came after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that it was “a step forward” that U.S. intelligence agencies had concluded that Tehran stopped developing its nuclear weapons program four years ago.
