Election '08: Truth, Justice, and the New American Waynew
The luxury liner of consumerism has smacked into the iceberg. Sarah Palin can cry "socialism" and let slip the dogs of McCarthy, but Republicans have burned even their most flimsy credibility. And yet President-Elect Obama is just a man. Can he actually save a grateful nation?

2012: Apocalypse Soon?new
For the first time in nearly fifteen years the End of the World draws near. December 21, 2012, is coming in hard with multiple threats, and conflicting theories being actively debated on any and all forums that offer media time to the fringe and the fantastic.

Che Won't Go Awaynew
In the 40 years since his murder by the CIA and elite Bolivian Rangers, Guevara has been fashioned into a unique bridge between radical politics and popular culture.

Who Wants to Be the President of Hell?new
It seems like only two years ago the presidential campaign started -- because that's how long it was: two years ago. Those two years end Tuesday night, but with a bang, or apocalypse?

Joe Biden is My Lovernew
I, like God, love me some Old Handsome Joe. There is a true kindness, a true goodness, which he wields like a weapon, hiding that big sexy brain behind his Simple Joe grin, and rope-a-doping 'em better than anybody I know.

Every Half Hour Brings a New Tidbit To Light About Sarah Palinnew
As an actual feminist, I have the great good joy of getting to determine what is and isn't sexist. Sexist: Asking whether Sarah Palin shouldn't be staying home with her baby and her other children. (And yes, I've heard you asking just that.) Not sexist: Pointing out that Sarah Palin is an utter twit.

Commie Girl: Happy Birthday U.S.A.!new
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, masters of evil John Yoo and David Addington pop back up, like Jason or a platter of undercooked pork, to tell the U.S. Congress how much they'd really like to take that water and pour it over your blindfolded and Saran-wrapped face.
