Perhaps Both. Al Gore gives a speech on last night’s SNL, as though he’d become president in 2000. It would be funnier, if it weren’t also more than a little sad. Video and transcript below the fold.

Too much “truthiness” can be such a good thing.

This has been all over the internets by now. So much that I didn’t know there’s a virtual media blackout of Stephen Colbert’s inspired riffing of Bush and his supporters at the White House correspondents’ dinner. So, in the spirit of doing what the media apparently won’t […]

According to Slut-o-Meter, I’m so not a slut that I come in around -43.13% slut. Which, according to Slut-o-meter, means:
The only way this horse’s ass can get laid is to sexually harass women.
Um. yeah. I have much better luck sexually harassing men. (Not that I would sexually harass anyone unless explicitly invited to do so, […]

… what your country can do for you, but who you can do for your country.

I’d really have to think about it. And I’d still probably end up saying “Fuck it. The country ain’t worth that.”
On the other hand, if that doesn’t get him impeached, nothing would.

Yup. The second installment of “Great GOP Moments in Black History” is up. Catch it at PoliticsTV.

This is funny. 

Strong willed Baptist Pastors across this Christian nation have been keeping mum regarding their concerns about the popularity of the new pro-sodomite film, “Brokeback Mountain.” There is an unspoken edict among conservative religious leaders to keep silent their opinions about the film, in hopes to quell the onslaught of misguided popularity that usually […]

I can’t remember if I shared this or not, but DemsTV has morphed into PoliticsTV. The above is a special series I’ve been working on with them to air throughout the month of February.  You can check out the first of the four installments at PoliticsTV.Com.

And, yes, I had lots of […]

I don’t know where I stumbled across this or why I haven’t seen this before, as it’s been around a while, but it remindes of some of the stuff I’ve been posting about lately about the “gospel of plenty.”

The Gospel of Supply Side Jesus puts it much better than I can, and […]

I hope it’s not too late to get in on the annual Festivus Airing of Grievances. Because I have one that’s been stewing since the eve of the holiday. Mark has a good list going, so I thought I’d chime in.
It had been a long day already, following a long night during which […]

There is brilliance, and then there is brilliance. And there there is — in a category unto itself — The Boondocks. If you did not see last night’s episode on the Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, find someone who has it on Tivo, or get a copy via BitTorrent. I thought the first episode was promising. […]

After seeing this, and this, and then noticing Waveflux had resurrected as a reference point the Powerline post about Bush’s “brilliance approaching to genius,” I couldn’t help myself. I had to smack together little the comparison below.

The resemblance is uncanny, and even a little frightening, dontcha think?

Update: BBC has the video.

I can say without qualification that last night’s television debut of The Boondocks was…good. I say that mainly because I don’t want to gush. Be warned, THERE ARE SPOILERS TO FOLLOW. If you haven’t seen it yet and you don’t want to know what happens, read no further.
