yeah, it's called "checks and balances"

it's what that whole "US Constitution" thing is sorta-kinda based on ...

Judge rejects Bush's 'absolute' immunity argument against subpoenas

Holy Crap

Bus passenger beheaded seat mate, witness says

What the fuck?

And in other news the Chinese are a bunch of lying Commie bastards. Which isn't really news, now is it?

And introducing a whole new world of desperation and childishness (possibly NSFW, but maybe your boss may find this as hilarious as I did, and if your boss does find it as hilarious as I did, then maybe you should be looking for a new job)

never mind the lyrics

... that track is wack.

Obama campaign criticizes Ludacris

even MORE of that LIBERAL slant

Pretty awesome that this didn't get picked up by most of the major news networks ...

Police found right-wing political books, brass knuckles, empty shotgun shell boxes and a handgun in the Powell home of a man who said he attacked a church in order to kill liberals "who are ruining the country," court records show.

Inside the house, officers found "Liberalism is a Mental Health Disorder" by radio talk show host Michael Savage, "Let Freedom Ring" by talk show host Sean Hannity, and "The O'Reilly Factor," by television talk show host Bill O'Reilly.

And Christopher Robin Cried

Bear Stuck in Jug is Shot

more of that liberal bias in the media

More on the Liberal Media's love affair with Obama, and how they don't give equal time to McCain ...

The number of times Senator John McCain’s new advertisement attacking Senator Barack Obama for canceling a visit with wounded troops in Germany last week has been shown fully or partly on local, national and cable newscasts: well into the hundreds. The number of times that spot actually, truly ran as a paid commercial: roughly a dozen.

on the McCain ad ...

As an announcer says, “He made time to go to the gym, but canceled a visit with wounded troops,” the spot shows Mr. Obama playing basketball — without noting that it was during a visit he made to active-duty troops in Kuwait earlier in the week.

brilliant.

hope never tasted so good

Sixpoint Craft Ales (aside from having the nicest craft-brewery website I've seen yet) has a "Hop Obama" brew! Their site takes forever to load, but luckily Beer Advocate has copied the text ...

In keeping with the Illinois senator's unifying theme, the "Hop Obama" is an indefinable ale that doesn't adhere to traditional style guidelines. The 5.2% ABV creation contains five different kinds of European crystal malt and three different kinds of Pacific Northwest Hops. Combined with a Scottish yeast strain for fermentation, the result is a highly drinkable beer with a big malt background and an "Obama" of hops that imparts floral and citrus notes with just a hint of spiciness.

Currently only available in NY and MA, so I won't be drinking one anytime soon ... unless I take some time off and head to NYC during NY Craft Beer Week. This site has been alot of the reason I haven't been blogging as much as I'd like. Designed by yours truly, the full site is coming soon ...

------- addendum

As bijan pointed out: "they shoulda called it The Audacity of Hops" ... they missed out on a grand pun.

and its come to this ...

... so is that NANCY '08? RON JR '08?

Are conservatives so enamored with the man that they won't believe he's dead?

Because from what I've seen, the rest of the family isn't as bad as Ol' Ronny

In an April 2003 interview, Reagan (Ronald Jr.) said, "The Bush people have no right to speak for my father, particularly because of the position he's in now. Yes, some of the current policies are an extension of the '80s. But the overall thrust of this administration is not my father's – these people are overly reaching, overly aggressive, overly secretive, and just plain corrupt. I don't trust these people."

So, it may not look like much, and in fact might screw up MORE now ... BUT! Your bluntest has moved onto the latest and greatest platform provided by fair Blogger. all this really means is we have access to a lot more cool doo-hickeys, whachamacalits, doodads and thingamajigs that blogger provides.

holy christ, is it 1890?

3 Pennsylvania teens charged in fatal beating of immigrant

WHY DOES THE PRESS LOVE OBAMA SO MUCH, AND HATE OUR FREEDOMS MORE!?

The Media has LIED LIED LIED TO US!!!!!!! They interviewed a registered college Republican and then typed out on the teevee screen that he was a MEMBER of the USC Young Republicans! THE LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I've never met him, heard of him, talked with him, nothing," USC College Republican president Ben Myers told ABCNews.com.

Myers said he's infuriated with CNN, and argued his group is attracting a lot of support on campus.

this is the TOP story under Google News "US" section right now.

and to put this into perspective
Fox's Shively falsely suggested Obama has been a Christian for only "two decades now"
Fox News calls Michelle Obama "Obama's baby mama"
"A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab?"
Liz Trotta: Osama, Obama, they should both be killed
Michelle Obama: Angry Black Woman
Obama: Madrassa Schooled Muslim

Phat beatz on Sesame Street

Normally I'm Against the Death Penalty

But not when it results in hilarity! That Christopher Scott Emmett, what joker! (Except when he's beating his coworker to death with a brass lamp so he can take his money and buy crack, of course.) "Tell my family and friends I love them; tell the governor he just lost my vote," Emmett said in the chamber before he died. "Y'all hurry this along. I'm dying to get out of here."

I'm holding out for Quantum Leap 2020

Dear Hollywood:

A few months ago, I saw the Speed Racer movie and it was surprisingly good.

But since then, I notice that there are a lot of things happening.

Some of them good. Some of them bad. Some of them just weird

Dear Hollywood, please make less movies about cool shit I've already seen. It was cool and I loved it then, but right now I really need to see a movie about the dude who played Jesus coming from the future to fight dragons in the past.

Love,
Bogardus
