  • Ofra

    I was playing Ofra Haza’s ‘I Want to Fly’ from the Wild Orchid soundtrack. Probably one of the sexiest songs ever recorded. Ron asked who it was (he was in another room): RON: Who is that? ME: Ofra Haza! RON: She’s an Oprah addict?

  • Massive Holy Vagina Appears Under Chicago Overpass

    The faithful are flocking to a urine-soaked overpass where Our Blessed Virgin has appeared in the form of salt runoff. You know what I think it looks like? Yep, I think it looks like a big vagina too. So do others.

  • Busting the Fillibuster and the Nuclear Option

    Wasn’t sure I was really grasping the controversy around the GOP wanting to get rid of the fillibuster to keep Dems from stalling judicial nominations. So I gave Chris from Law Dork a call. MP3 File

  • New Pope, Same as the Old One

    Shout-outs to the Papal Party Posse with electing former Cheers star, John Ratzenberger to the position of Thooper-Dooper Paratrooper Pope Benedict XVI. As a young priest he was on the progressive side of theological debates but shifted to the right after the student revolutions of 1968. In the Vatican, he has been the driving force […]

  • Cake Countdown

    I decided to leave the house early today since I’ll be doing a whole slew of calls until about 9 tonight. Teleclass went great last night – had 20-some people call in which is so exciting. Every time I hang up after a teleclass, I remember all the stuff I should have talked about. But […]

  • Rice & Eggs and Impeachable Offenses

    Need to start posting later in the day when I’m more peppy. Excerpt of Ramsey Clark’s speech to impeach. MP3 File

  • Time Licks Coulter

    Ugh… Time magazine scrapes the bottom of the barrel and finds Anne Coulter under it’s grimy, feces-crusted fingernails: Readers still don’t know the real Ann Coulter. They don’t know the real Ann Coulter because Time carefully hid her from view, glorifying her legal work, whitewashing her habitual lies, and downplaying her – at best – […]

  • Disaster Capitalism and Reconstruction Stabilization

    …the Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization, headed by former US Ambassador to Ukraine Carlos Pascual. Its mandate is to draw up elaborate “post-conflict” plans for up to twenty-five countries that are not, as of yet, in conflict. Not yet? The stories of corruption and incompetence serve to mask this deeper scandal: the […]

  • McGovern on Iraq

    One military leader told us they can tell that things are changing for the better because when US helicopters fly over certain areas of Iraq, Iraqis wave. Well, I took a helicopter ride (it’s too dangerous to drive) from the Baghdad airport to the Green Zone wearing an armored vest and sandwiched between two heavily […]

  • Santorum Cuddles Dead Baby

    (via Republic of T) Upon their son’s death, Rick and Karen Santorum opted not to bring his body to a funeral home. Instead, they bundled him in a blanket and drove him to Karen’s parents’ home in Pittsburgh. There, they spent several hours kissing and cuddling Gabriel with his three siblings, ages 6, 4 and […]
