The Community Avengers challenge "the villains of bad government" in two places todayIt's a bird, it's a plane, it's Healthcare Man! Forget hand-made signs, one group of Miami residents is pulling on the Spandex in the name of universal health care. Dressed in superhero costumes, the Community Avengers (or Justicieros Comunitarios), as they call themselves, will be in two places - not at once (they're not that good) - today to challenge, according to their press release, "the villains of bad government and greedy insurance companies." The CA consists of members of the Miami Workers Center, LIFFT (Low-Income Families Fighting...

This guy should be on an outdoor channel. He has many more serious videos with reviews of different guns. Especially Glocks.

President Obama's advisers acknowledged Tuesday that they were unprepared for the intraparty rift that occurred over the fate of a proposed public health insurance program, a firestorm that has left the White House searching for a way to reclaim the initiative on the president's top legislative priority. Administration officials insisted that they have not shied away from their support for a public option to compete with private insurance companies, an idea they said Obama still prefers to see in a final bill. But at a time when the president had hoped to be selling middle-class voters on how insurance reforms...

There have been a number of seminal queries which our elders used to define game-changing moments in America’s cultural evolution. Where were you when JFK was shot? Where were you when Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon? For me, although it will likely wind up as a Trivial Pursuit bonus round question, one of the treasured turning points may well be: Where were you when Sarah Palin decided to commit political suicide? The odd thing is that I was up in the mountains, forcing myself into a period of decompression from the political theater. I likely wouldn’t have even...

How did Obama manage to spend all his political capital so quickly? Did it all go on the stimulus bill? Wasn’t the whole point of bringing Rahm in as chief of staff that he could work constructively with Congress to pass an ambitious agenda? And isn’t Obama himself the first president since JFK to have entered the White House from the Senate? I’m not sure when everything went wrong here, but I fear that the damage is now irreparable — and that Obama’s agenda is going to be severely scaled back as a result. Our explanation is rather simple: Obama’s...

Sources tell us the diminutive Garofalo showered this morning, after friends grew tired of her strange body odor and perfume. “I told Janeane enough is enough. I said, girl, this is my shower. Shower, this is Janeane.

Here it is folks, the Ashley Biden cocaine snorting video you've all been waiting for.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska: Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will reimburse the state for a tenth trip taken by her children. The February 2007 trip to the start of the Iron Dog snowmachine race was mistakenly left out of an agreement announced this week to settle an ethics complaint with the Alaska Personnel Board. In that agreement, Palin will reimburse the state about $7,000 for nine trips taken by the children that were determined not to be in the state's best interest. For the tenth trip, Palin will reimburse the state for airfare from Juneau to Anchorage for her three daughters. The family...

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — Federal agents raided a medical marijuana dispensary in South Lake Tahoe on Thursday. At about 11 a.m., five agents from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency — joined by members of the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement, the South Lake Tahoe-El Dorado County Narcotics Enforcement Team and the South Lake Tahoe Police — served a federal search warrant on Patient to Patient Collective, located at 2314 Lake Tahoe Boulevard. Agents seized between five and 10 pounds of processed marijuana and a “small amount” of U.S. currency from the collective, said DEA Special Agent Gordon Taylor. Police made...

She didn't charge as much as Ashley Dupre -- the call girl who cost Eliot Spitzer his job as New York governor. But authorities say Barbara Anderson Cohen did not come cheap. Cook County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Patterson said Cohen was busted on a prostitution charge Jan. 16 after she flew in from Las Vegas and agreed to have sex in a Loop hotel. Her price, $1,000 for two hours, was the highest rate of any of the 120 women arrested by the sheriff's office in stings over the last two years, Patterson said.

McCain unsure if he'd support Palin for president Posted: 01:59 PM ET Sen. John McCain says he may not necessary support Gov. Sarah Palin if she she runs in 2012 CNN) – Sen. John McCain said Sunday he would not necessarily support his former running mate if she chose to run for president. Speaking to ABC's "This Week," McCain was asked whether Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin could count on his support. "I can't say something like that. We've got some great other young governors. I think you're going to see the governors assume a greater leadership role in our Republican...

Tuesday´s debate between Senators McCain and Obama was relative uneventful in my eyes except for McCain´s "That one" statement when referring to his opponent. Now, this may seem insignificant to McCain backers and maybe even to some Obama, but is it insignificant? McCain´s camp has said it was just Senator McCain´s attempt at humor. I was not smiling. Making the statement "that one" can conjure up some bad memories for some folks. "Which slave do you want masta? That one," the White slave-owner says. "What toy do you want son? That one," the child whines. "Which one of these men...

In an episode of 'The Simpsons' slated to run November 2, Homer Simpson will vote for Barack Obama. As Homer tries to vote for Obama, a machine changes the vote to McCain and proceeds to kill him.

Senator McCain is on Fox and Friends talking now. They asked him why he didn't get credit for helping the economy while Barack Obama was the invisible man nd he said because "life isn't fair." They asked him if he thought a moderator who was writing a pro-Obama book was acceptable and he said "life isn't fair." He talks like someone who has already lost.

I thought it would be funny to create a parody of SarahPalinFacts.com for Obama. However, someone already thought of it long ago. But, it's lame, lame, lame.... See for yourself.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama prepared to name his running mate, perhaps as early as Friday, from a small field o0f candidates that included at least one dark horse.

On the eve of Prime Minister Gordon Brown's visit to Washington last week, a British pollster suggested Brown's meetings with presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John McCain would be more important than his talks with President Bush. The president is "irrelevant," the pollster said, echoing what has become a view widely held in Washington. With only nine months left in his presidency and low approval ratings, Bush lacks political power. He's a lame duck. In fact, he's not that lame. This is a common misperception about Bush (and a pet peeve of mine). In Washington, the political community...
