Just when you think the "OBAMACARE" joke has run its course, RNC chairman Reince Priebus is back blaming his party's attempts to restrict abortion on their own compassion (lol) and blaming everything on Obamacare. Oh good. » 10/05/14 6:32pm 10/05/14 6:32pm

Recently, the Department of Education released a new set of common core standards that will no longer require schools to teach students how to write in cursive. Oh, no! Now how are precocious young girls supposed to portray accuracy when they stay up late writing old-timey plays as they pretend to be Jo from Little… » 12/05/13 11:10am 12/05/13 11:10am

Politicians are completely full of it, especially during interviews with journalists, and especially during an election year. So what happens when a news team consisting of only developmentally disabled adults tries to get past the votemongering spin and to the truth? A new movie shares their eye-opening, hilarious,… » 10/19/12 6:40pm 10/19/12 6:40pm

Public marriage proposals seem more like social hostage situations than romantic queries. "Will you marry me? Btw, if you say, ‘No,' all of these people will grind their teeth from the unrelenting awkwardness." With that in mind, try really hard not to squirm while you're watching RNC staffer Bradley Thompson pull… » 8/30/12 10:25pm 8/30/12 10:25pm

Being a stripper means that other people will never run out of questions for you. "How much money do you make?" "Can they touch you?" "Do you do that thing on the pole?" "Who tips better, Democrats or Republicans?" » 8/30/12 2:10pm 8/30/12 2:10pm

If you're planning on one day visiting scenic Tampa, Florida and replicating the Magic Mike experience at a local establishment staffed by dancing dudes who take their pants off, I've got some bad news. There is no all-male revue in Tampa. Magic Mike was a bulging lie. » 8/30/12 10:50am 8/30/12 10:50am

Just four years after Sarah Palin was summoned onto the stage of the Republican National Convention by the Norse god of mischief, the former Alaskan governor, has intimated that Fox News would rather that she not appear on television and grasp at relevance during the Republican National Convention. Bereft a more… » 8/30/12 9:30am 8/30/12 9:30am

Even though the Republican Party is more like a desiccated pea pod of anachronistic social angst about changing demographics, they can sure put on a half decent vaudeville show every four years, which, with some, er, exceptions, manages to cobble together enough support to make serious runs at our nation's highest… » 8/29/12 10:25pm 8/29/12 10:25pm

So, at the end of Ann Romney's speech — which was billed, more less, like the moment in The Dark Knight when Harvey Dent holds a press conference to reveal the identity of Batman — we still don't know an awful lot about Mittens. The Daily Beast's Michael Tomasky, for example, thought the speech was "okay to good," but » 8/29/12 12:10am 8/29/12 12:10am

According to TPM's Kyle Leighton, a pretty terrible thing happened on the way to Ann Romney's speech tonight — an attendee at the RNC allegedly threw nuts in the face of a black CNN camerawoman and said, "This is how we feed animals." » 8/28/12 11:52pm 8/28/12 11:52pm

Tidbit 1: Attendees at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida were greeted today by a group of protesters dressed in giant vagina costumes.

The cloud conglomerate known as Isaac is twist and shouting its way into the superheated waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the very same place that an ornery Old Testament god passed damning judgment on the lizard-people he'd created before people, some 6,550 years ago. It's no coincidence that Isaac will strike the very… » 8/27/12 12:50pm 8/27/12 12:50pm

Woo! It's political convention season! Pancake stage makeup and suits in primary colors and televised political tough talk and speeches given by a candidate's non-political expert loved ones designed to show Americans that, if elected, the candidate's policies would be the equivalent of making gentle marital love to… » 8/27/12 12:10pm 8/27/12 12:10pm

Catholic jack-o-lantern Timothy Dolan is all set to speak at the Republican National Convention/Stripper Pledge Drive next week in Tampa, that is, if God doesn't smite the entire event with a biblically-themed hurricane.

The youngest member of the GOP's Platform Committee is 22-year-old anti-abortion rights Rick Santorum delegate Jackie Curtiss. And, despite her questionable political allegiance, she has more sense in her little finger than the rest of the committee combined — while her older, more delusional colleagues yammer away… » 8/22/12 6:40pm 8/22/12 6:40pm

Breaking! Mitt Romney changed his mind about something! Remember earlier this year, when a liberal commentator made that remark about Ann Romney being a stay at millionaire's wife who hadn't worked a day in her life? And remember how everyone leapt to defend Mrs. Romney because, to be fair, having five kids is kind… » 7/30/12 5:40pm 7/30/12 5:40pm
