“It’s lonely over here in the pro-life camp,” Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America, writes in an op-ed in today’s Washington Post. Indeed, Hawkins is very, very lonely, just hoping and waiting by her phone for Donald Trump to just give her a call and maybe ask her to dinner, she writes.
Modern politics is a horrifying sight to stare dead in the eye. It’s an amorphous, vile, contradictory and confounding sight—one that evokes the same pain as staring directly into the sun. A t-shirt seen by a reporter for the Associated Press at Donald Trump’s rally in Syracuse on Saturday is the perfect metaphor for…
Republican presidential candidate and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson will return home to Florida after the Iowa caucuses on Monday, February 1.
Earlier today the New York Times’ editorial board endorsed Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination. In the endorsement, the board described Clinton as the most “deeply qualified presidential candidates in modern history,” noting that this is their fourth endorsement of the candidate (twice for the Senate and…
American Idol’s most respected aspiring politician Clay Aiken is fine with the idea of Donald Trump running for President. And he thinks people who count Trump out of the race are bugging.
Lil B, the Based God, has lots of devoted followers in real life and on Twitter and one of them is running for president. For whatever reason, Lil B is among the 1,000 users that Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders is following on Twitter, under his account @BernieSanders. Is Bernie Sanders based? Not likely, but Lil…
Scott Walker—presidential candidate, governor of Wisconsin, and noted hot ham enthusiast—has spoken out against the Boy Scouts of America’s recent push to allow gay troop leaders. “I have had a lifelong commitment to the Scouts and support the previous membership policy because it protected children and advanced Scout…
Wisconsin governor Scott Walker sacrificed a leisurely Fourth of July weekend of grill-outs and fireworks in order to sneak a variety of harmful provisions into his state’s budget. Buried in the omnibus budget bill: a law that limits the information released to the public during police shootings, as well as a…
Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and famed neurosurgeon Ben Carson have both announced plans to waste unfathomable amounts of money on Presidential campaigns that are doomed to fail. Congratulations to both of them.
Newly-announced presidential hopeful Marco Rubio is like Barack Obama in many ways. Sure, he opposes Roe v. Wade and same-sex marriage, doesn’t believe humans are causing climate change, and would like to smash Obamacare to smithereens, but when it comes to lofty, experience-disguising rhetoric and hip, hip…
All that Hillary Clinton 2016 speculation just went from wishful political fanfic to political possibility, as the former Secretary of State and First Lady admitted yesterday that she's "thinking about" running for President. Everybody freak out!
Notable nonagenarian Betty White has made an exception to her habit of keeping her political views in a small locket that she never removes and told the Associated Press with what we can assume was a warm smile that she "very, very much favors" incumbent Barack Obama in the upcoming presidential election. White, who…
Hillary Clinton told a crowd earlier today that she won't be running for President in 2016, and while she didn't come right out and say it, she sort of implied that she's tired of the unique brand of bullshit The People have flung at her during her decades-long career in the public eye. What can the hopeful masses do…
I must admit that after Mitt Romney's victory lap speech on Tuesday night, I was impressed with the guy. Even though it was mostly substanceless political niceties balanced with a hearty dose of empty thought calories, Romney didn't appear robotic and distant. He even managed to muster some passion. But gaffe-free…
Today, Arizona Senator John McCain told CBS This Morning that it's time for Rick Santourm to drop out of the race for the GOP Presidential nomination so Mitt Romney can get to focusing on the important stuff — like picking Sarah Palin as his running mate. Since John McCain probably hasn't forgotten about that one time…
In light of allegations that he carried on a 13 year long extramarital affair, non-joke Presidential candidate Herman Cain has told his top aides that he's "reassessing" his campaign's future. And, given the dramatic downturn in number of copies of This is Herman Cain!: My Journey to the White House flying off the…
Can space cadet Michele Bachmann provide any intergalactic insight into the Herman Cain scandal? Yeah, no — that hope is futile. In her most recent appearance, she not only successfully avoided answering any questions, but she also managed to prevent her face from contorting into an expression of primal rage and…
Surprise of surprises. Michele Bachmann thinks that those Occupy Wall Street kids are bad news and she doesn't want you hanging out with them after school anymore.
Gender and the Presidential race is a topic that's been on the media's mind today, what with Hillary's recent popularity plummet and her "crying" incident. Gloria Steinem, the godmother of second wave feminism, weighs in on Hillary and womanhood in an op-ed in the NY Times: "Gender is probably the most restricting…
