America's Foremost Demonologist Leaves Our Head Spinningnew
"Most people don't understand demonology. They think demons are like ghosts and equate them with haunted houses," William Bradshaw says. "That's not what demonology is about." Ghosts, he continues, are the spirits of people who have died. Demons are evil spirits that have never been human.

Nation of Idiots: Beavis and Butthead's Grandfather Runs for Presidentnew
With Bush we got eight years of corporate looting of the nation's hard-earned wealth. With McCain we'll have four more years of kleptocrats picking at the national corpse. Eventually there'll be nothing left. But we should vote for this guy because, well, something about him standing up against bullshit tire pressure pinkos and that anti-Christ smart talking celebrity fella. Ya gotta love American presidential elections.

Dirty Secrets Under the Big Top
Lawsuits charge Ringling Bros. with abusing animals, endangering public health, and sabotaging its critics via former CIA spooks. This October, a federal court could finally determine whether rough, regular treatment of endangered Asian elephants by circus handlers constitutes illegal animal abuse.

Why John Edwards' Sex Life is Our Business Toonew
It's precisely the gross and flagrant violation of our constitution and of our national values by seven dreadful years of the Bush administration that makes Edwards' betrayal of his supporters, his donors, his funders and -- potentially -- the greater interests of his country so disgusting. I voted for this guy, damnit, and I want my vote back!

John McCain's Birth Control Dodge Continuesnew
"I don't usually duck an issue, but I'll try to get back to you," McCain told a reporter in early July. The uncomfortable moments documented on video show the presumptive Republican nominee squirming and stammering when he was asked why he voted against a 2003 bill that would require private insurance companies to cover prescription birth control, just as they cover Viagra.
