Friday’s Asshats of the Day
Today’s award is a group award. It goes to all of those self-righteous “patriots” who oppose the so-called “Ground Zero Mosque.” You know who you are (locally we have Alfalfa and Curly from WGOP and nationally we have Abraham Foxman of the American Jewish Committee and Charles Krauthammer).
I traded emails with my brother today. He [...]

Connect The Dots On The New GOP Terror Babies
First, watch this video with Anderson Cooper to get a big dose of the new Republican Party. Conspiracy theories rule, facts/evidence are not necessary, and when questioned just keep talking like a crazy person. I’m beginning to think that Dems should use all these clips as campaign ads.
Now, let’s connect the dots. This is the [...]

Forget Kate Plus Eight Minus One. There’s a new game in town and it’s called If We Keep Having Babies Maybe We Won’t Get Canceled.
But now the couple – who only recently brought baby Josie home after being hospitalized for six months as she recovered from a perforated bowel and rare digestive problems – say [...]

Thursday’s Asshats of the Day
Today’s award goes to the pastor and members of Dove World Outreach Center, a “church” in Gainesville, FL. These “christians” (and I use that term extremely loosely) are planning on holding a public Koran burning ceremony on September 11. This is the same “church” that printed up and handed out t-shirts that read “Islam is [...]

‘Bulo’s Adrenalin-Fueled Music For the Masses-Part I
Every year, WXPN-FM, the public radio station affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania, does an 885 Music Countdown of some sort, and enlists the ballots of its listeners. This year’s theme is the 885 Ultimate Road Trip Songs. For me, that means songs that make me want to roll down the window, bash the steering [...]

Asshat of the Day
Apologies for not posting one of these for yesterday – I was caught up in all of the primary election returns from around the country (yay Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper in CO).
No contest for today’s award – Congressman Charles Rangel. Isn’t it ironic that in 1970, he beat scandal-burdened Adam Clayton Powell and now [...]

Solving the Marriage Conundrum
Since it appears that neither the left nor the right are going to agree on who is entitled to enjoy the bliss of married life, I have a solution – get the State out of the marriage and divorce business. No more state-issued marriage licenses (think of the money we’ll be saving taxpayers by getting [...]
