Michael Moore Wants You to Take One of Your Non Voting Slacker Friends …
It's a good idea, right? Listen to America's grumpy Santa this voting season and haul at least one of your lazy-ass friends to the polls with you. Especially if you're in a swing state!

Obama Wants You to Vote Like Your Vagina Depends On It
It's hard to believe (say, about as inconceivable as the concept that some women are raped because it's God's "intention") that Obama could've lost a significant amount of support from women voters after that one lackluster Denver debate.

And that's how I…
Romney's Campaign Calls Women's Issues Nothing But 'Shiny Objects' of…
In their neverending quest to alienate the lady voters of America, Romney's campaign took another giant (mis)step toward accomplishing the goal of having only one woman cast her vote for Mitt in November.

Horrible Online Dating Stories To Keep You Single
Holy shit: the internet is teeming with awesomely horrible people for you to date. We asked for your stories, and you good god, you delivered. Let's skip the foreplay and get right to the dirtiest half-dozen.
As you may recall, in Obama's acceptance speech he told the incredible story of Ann Nixon Cooper. The 106-year-old got a tip from the Obama campaign and stayed up on Tuesday night to see her name mentioned by the President Elect. Cooper is a former Atlanta socialite who co-founded a Girls Club for African-American…
