Amazingly, there are still people on the planet who are connected to the internet, but don’t know that The Onion is not a source for actual news. These dim bulbs and dull knives clearly don’t understand satire, and the fact that it is the basis of all Onion content. This ignorance is still running so rampant that there is even a blog that posts the Facebook commentary of the slow ones who surf amo

I thought this post timely as the Republicans are campaigning to see who will be their presidential nominee.  The "Holier-than thous" love creating a stir about this candidate slept with this person, and that candidate slept with that person, do we really want that type of person in the White House? Political candidates and Presidents are not saints, in fact far from it, I for one see no

After recently reuniting with lead singer Jimi Jamison, a member of Survivor has now gone to court to protect one of the group’s best known songs, ‘Eye of the Tiger,’ from being used by Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich.

Newt Gingrich definitely knows how to play to his audience. In a campaign speech near Cape Canaveral, FL, on Wednesday, Gingrich promised that, as president, he would push to colonize the moon.

Two lawmakers in Florida have looked over the books and found a loophole to help themselves and help homeless people. If it catches on, we may have a new public stadium, and a new homeless shelter. The law makes sense, and the way they are reading it makes sense, but will the law pass...

The political action committee associated with (but not directed by) Stephen Colbert has come out firing in its first ad, accusing frontrunner for the Republican nomination Mitt Romney of actually being a “serial killer.” So much for politics as usual!

Drag queen RuPaul is marching across New Hampshire (presumably in a pair of stylish yet comfortable matching pumps) to make sure the voters in the latest Republican Presidential primary know that he/she is not Ron Paul.

Last night, in Tucson, one year after she was nearly fatally shot in the head at a public event, Representative Gabrielle Giffords read the pledge of allegiance to an audience of thousands gathered at the University of Arizona for a candlelight vigil to mark the anniversary of her shooting.

I  remember when I lived in Boston, the current Mayor (who was in jail at the time) won by a landslide. This post reminds me of him...sort of. Five days after Elwin Clark died, residents of Terril, Iowa, gathered in small booths to pay tribute to him the best way they knew how — by electing him mayor...

Embattled presidential candidate Herman Cain recently stated, “There are too many people in the media who are downright dishonest,” and Mediabistro had to see if people agreed. The site’s survey asked 1,179 registered voters if they sided with Cain’s view on the media, and 64 percent of respondents did.

Today's vote could well determine a change in the works nationwide. Some say, even if the vote is a  "no" today, it's only a matter of time before it succeeds.   Mississippi voters will go to the polls today on a controversial “personhood amendment,” which would legally define a person under the state’s Bill of Rights as existing at the moment of conception. If pa...

It's always fun for me to see whats going on in the White House. Now if he could only make the debt disappear...that would really be magic! White House insiders are often accused of “living in a bubble” — but this is ridiculous. First Lady Michelle Obama watches a man vanish inside a giant red balloon in the Diplomatic Reception Room — a spectacle that was all in good fun as magician John Cassidy
