Sweet jiggling breasts, has Susan G. Komen for the Cure ever painted itself into a corner. When they first announced their decision to revoke funding from Planned Parenthood, they said it was because they had a rule against giving money to organizations that were under investigation. But they give money to organizations that are under investigation all the damn time. And they certainly don't have any trouble taking money from companies that are under investigation. Let's take a tour of their hypocrisy, shall we? More »

Hateful Muppet Rick Santorum told a crowd of slack jawed Floridians that the Obama administration is against abstinence-only education because the President wants America to be poor. Not only is the idea that comprehensive sex ed is the path to poverty 17 shades of incorrect, it points out a disturbing truth: Rick Santorum literally cannot stop imagining everyone fucking. More »

Fox News is commemorating this Martin Luther King, Jr day by inviting his niece, Dr. Alveda King, to come and speak about his legacy. He was a conservative, she explained, who hated abortion. Except that isn't even close to true, not even the tiniest bit. Leave it to Fox News to wrap a crap sandwich in a lie and call it history. More »

San Francisco's city government recently enacted a rule designed to combat so-called "crisis pregnancy centers" that are actually pro-life organizations in disguise. Under the new ordinance, the centers will be fined $500 each time they provide false or misleading information to patients. But some pro-life activists say that they're guaranteed the right to lie to their patients— by the constitution, consarn it. More »

After years of being out-deceived by men, women are finally catching up. And leading the charge is Minnesota dynamo Michele Bachmann, obliterating the Lies-Out-The-Ass Ceiling and clearing the way for the rest of America's female liars to believe that they too can fake it all the way to the top. How much did she fib last night? America's sharpest political minds have been on the case, and the results are in. So come with me, and we'll be in a world of pure imagination. More »

One doesn't need to be a political junkie to know that GOP Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann and Science are no longer on speaking terms. She further assured that Science wouldn't be sending her a Christmas card this year with yet another dubious claim, this time that China was using lasers to blind American satellites, which not only didn't happen, but is not currently scientifically possible.

You know how one time in high school you made up a fake boy and IM'ed some girl you didn't like as "him" and asked her out on a date, but then you couldn't figure out how to keep things going so you just told her he moved to Florida? That, on a much grander scale, is what happened to Paula Bonhomme. More »

Peter Coffin has earned the ridicule of the Internet for (allegedly) making up a fake girlfriend and using "her" various social networking accounts to harass a model and tell racist jokes.

Barack Obama is old, John McCain is tall, Sarah Palin is the most experienced politician in office today and Joe Biden looks so gosh-darned cute when he winks. The world has turned on its axis and what was true is false and what's false is true, or else there's no way that John McCain would think he could get away with saying, during a rally yesterday, that Barack Obama doesn't answer questions, gets touchy when he's questioned about his record and tells lie upon lie without someone finding footage of him and/or Sarah Palin doing exactly those things. Oh, wait, that's what we did here! Mashup clip above.
