The Divisive Power of Religion November 5, 2008

Or, why I hate Christians, Jews, and Muslims. (Not so much on the Muslims. They keep pretty well to themselves.) (Or the Jews really. I just hate Christians.)
This election has brought out the worst of the religious fiends. Obama is not the anti-Christ. But they’ll have you believe he is! Massive numbers of Facebook statuses [...]

Congratulations Mr. Obama! Now don’t fuck this up November 5, 2008

by pegleghippie
Tell me if this was your experience last night.
When it was called for Obama (right after VA went for him!  Being a swing state payed off!), I first felt an immense sense of relief–Our nation was serious about being a first-world nation again, and the silliness of republicans wouldn’t be the norm anymore.
Then I [...]

The Importance of a lack of Difference October 21, 2008

by pegleghippie
As you may know/may have expected, I’ve been watching the presidential campaigns closely. I’ve come to the conclusion that, given where America is today (way the fuck to the right), I can only find tiny differences between what I think should be done and what Obama has said he will do.
Don’t worry; I’m still [...]

maybe it’s because i was playing a presidential drinking game… September 26, 2008

by pegleghippie
but it sure seemed to me that obama wiped the floor with Mccain.  Obama was thoughtful, reasonable, all encompassing in his view, and offered practical solutions.  Mccain talked out his ass trying to get Obama into a “gotchya” moment.  Fuck that guy.

Add Glenn Beck to the stupid list. July 24, 2008

After today’s Beckism, which is the term I’ll now coin for when any butt-hurt conservative (who’s taken it up the ass a few too many times from the media it owns, and who has failed miserably in any attempt to convince America that “The dead people who died in the surge equals success” and “Gas [...]

The Futility of Political Blogging. June 25, 2008

Preaching to the choir. That’s the problem. I’m gonna come out and say it, no introductory story, no clever phrases and such. Our problem is we’re preaching to the choir. We’re reading the Bible to Jesus. Telling Thomas Jefferson about the Declaration of Independence. You get the point.

I See Through You, CNN. June 16, 2008

I FUCKING HATE CNN. Yes, That was a link. A link to the most fucking stupid thing CNN could ever do. Fuck that article.
Bullshit sensationalism, irrational headlining, unwavering support for their candidate. They aren’t supposed to have a candidate of course, but I think the jackasses at CNN actually have both. And it’s all about [...]

Where was my big Victory Post? June 6, 2008

I didn’t forget to post about Obama’s nomination. After the announcement that he clinched the nomination, I actually went into a frenzie of happiness much like an acid trip, (never been there jk jk) and passed out from then til juuust now.
As you can obviously tell, I’m not serious. I just got back from Transfer [...]

We didn’t say his name! Honest! May 16, 2008

More of the usual diatribe from the GOP. Bush’s outlandish statement against ’some people’ on Thursday are indicative of the same fear-mongering, the same foreign policy failure, the same global alienation that he’s failed to realize, are wrong.
In case you haven’t read it, let me show it to you.
Bush – “Some seem to believe [...]

I’m starting to understand the media. May 14, 2008

I think I understand why the media wants Clinton to drop out… I mean, everyone knows why. They have nothing to write about, since this dragging on of the primary is completely predictable. We know what the numbers and results are going to be a week before the primary actually takes place. Analysts talk about [...]
