Gun sales went up in Texas in anticipation of Barack Obama’s presidency. Among all the possible reasons for the spike in sales (ban / price hike on assault weapons) we can safely assume that one may have been the reckless public prounouncements of ignorant elected officials like Sarah Palin (pals around with terrorists) and Cynthia…

A Lightbulb goes on Ever wonder what the US Supreme Court might have made of what the Prez-Elect might have said? It’s lucky he didn’t enunciate it. Obama roasts Rahm Emmanuel in 2005

A couple of McCain supporters and GOP hacks can’t quite believe that Barack Obama can think his own thoughts and put them together in complete sentences. So they tried to launch an investigation using the expertise of an Oxford philosopher to "prove" that Obama’s autobiography, The Dreams from My Father was actually ghost written by…

Last night, I came across this while checking out blogs and forums and thought it was almost unbelievable:Sarah Palin getting pranked by some French-Canadian guys on the phone. This was later confirmed by all news agencies. Yes, that was indeed the one-and-only Sarah Palin being fooled by a pair of French Canadian impersonators. Two well-known…

John McCain’s latest campaign prop and middle east advisor, Joe the Plumber who is not really a plumber, let down his sponsor today. He didn’t show up at a rally in Ohio and McCain futilely called on the absent non-plumber to show himself and fire up the crowd. Apparently, Maverick John and Show Boater Joe had…

With the difficulties Ruchira has been having trying to get out even short posts while in India, she has asked me to post this for her. Ruchira: A great illustration of putting lipstick on a pig. It seems that the RNC spent money to dress up the entire Palin clan. So much for small town…

Now its not just McCain vs Obama but also the Christian God vs Allah / Buddha / Vishnu!

The wingnuts are crying "foul" even before tonight’s debate has taken place. If Palin does well, it will be because she is smarter than the liberal media gave her credit for. If she tanks the blame goes to ….. moderator Gwen Ifill! If the Democrats were crafty about strategery, they would invite Tina Fey, in…

This week has been pretty bad for Sen John McCain’s presidential campaign and for the GOP. McCain has made it amply clear that he has no clear grasp of economic issues. President George Bush came out of hiding to make a cameo appearance ostensibly to calm the jitters resulting from the avalanche of bad news…

The upcoming vice-presidential debate on October 2 should be fun. The participants will be a heavily prepped, ignorant war monger parroting cliches and scripted sound bites and a perpetual gaffe machine.

Sujatha has posted a timely piece on the inane backing and forthing between the Obama and McCain camps that is currently passing for serious political debate. The inanity is being generated mostly by the McCain campaign whose manager Rick Davis has publicly stated, "This election is not about issues. This election is about a composite…

Too much lipstick on everybody’s brains and the airwaves. (Word origin c. 1880,as per Merriam Webster Collegiate dictionary, history going back 5000 years all the way to ancient Egypt) Whether it’s on a pit bull or a pig or a Vice presidential candidate, it has exploded into the news cycle like nothing else, despite the…
