Movie star Vince Vaughn, a self-described libertarian who has supported Republican candidates in the past, is facing backlash on social media after a video emerged on Twitter showing him with President Trump in a private box during the national championship game Monday in New Orleans, La., a video showed. Vaughn was seen chatting and laughing with the president as Melania sat between them -- before the pair shook hands and Trump appeared to point to the star's lanyard, according to a 31-second clip uploaded to Twitter. The video was uploaded by former Deadspin employee, Timothy Burke, who captioned it, "I'm...

As the world burns, President Obama is taking criticism from all sides. Even Salon editor (and Free Beacon aficionado) Joan Walsh has conceded: “I’d probably have suggested not golfing after [Obama’s] moving statement on journalist James Foley’s execution.” Of course, most of this criticism is due to the prevalence of social media, but even so, Obama defenders have returned to one of their favorite arguments: Criticism of our current president is unprecedented; literally no one criticized the sitting president until 2009. Did Franklin Roosevelt play a lot golf during his presidency? Franklin. Roosevelt. Whatever, don’t want to step on the...

A few anarchists from Greece thought it would be "fun" and "rebellious" to walk into a supermarket, steal food and money from the register and burn the money to protest the already dead capitalism in their country. Please tell me antics such as this won't happen in America any time soon. I have no other comment beyond that.

WASHINGTON – Political novice Rand Paul rode support from tea party activists to a rout in Kentucky's Republican Senate primary Tuesday night, jolting the GOP establishment. Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter lost his struggle for political survival in Pennsylvania, a five-term incumbent offering experience to voters clamoring for change. Another Democratic incumbent, Sen. Blanche Lincoln, led narrowly in early returns in her race for nomination to a third term in Arkansas, but she risked being thrown into a costly run-off. In a fourth race with national implications, Democrat Mark Critz moved ahead of Republican Tim Burns in a contest to fill...

WASHINGTON - The hypocrisy is unpardonable. President Bush's decision to commute the sentence of a convicted liar brought out the worst in both parties and politics. In keeping I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby out of jail, Bush defied his promise to hold wrongdoers accountable and undercut his 2000 campaign pledge to "restore honor and dignity" to the White House. And it might be a cynical first step toward issuing a full pardon at the conclusion of his term. Democrats responded as if they don't live in glass houses, decrying corruption, favoritism and a lack of justice.

First post-therapy Kerry supporter speaks out publicly Published Sunday, November 14, 2004 at 1:00 am by Sean Salai A post-therapy John Kerry supporter spoke out about her trauma treatment for the first time this weekend, saying Florida psychologist Douglas Schooler took her from the depths of despair over President Bush’s victory to a new lease on life. Forty-four year old Karen of Boca Raton, a divorced mother of one who didn’t want her last name in print, called the trauma specialist’s intensive election therapy “profoundly effective” and described his hypnosis technique as “a healing process.” “I wasn’t sleeping,” Karen told...

These comments come from Uc Berkeley's Daily paper. My comments are in parathesis: Bush’s campaign, on the other hand, acted in a way that is in perfect congruence with the attitude of his administration: brazen arrogance and go-it-aloneness. Even before all the networks had given Bush the victory, his campaign told reporters Tuesday night that they were declaring victory. At least in 2000, the candidates waited until after the networks had made a final projection before doing so.(FOX, NBC, MSNBC all called it Tuesday night) Granted, the networks got it wrong, but at least the candidates waited. I will give...

'Packing' for trip just invites troubleSeptember 27 2002Jim Spencer Homeboy tightened the Velcro strap on the holster around his ankle and shoved in a snub-nosed semiautomatic pistol. My God, I said, as I walked in the room, what are you doing? "Packing," he said. I can see that, I told him. You must be headed to downtown Newport News where those three guys got murdered and three others got wounded last weekend. Click HERE for the rest of the article.
