Best McCain endorsement ever

The creator of the infamous Time Cube website, Gene Ray, has come out in support of McCain. The following is a…well, a post I guess from this site, though really its just a long and rambling piece of text on the front page: At the risk of my life, I must issue a GRAVE WARNING [...]

Via Livescience: Scientists have successfully selected and safely erased specific memories in a mouse’s brain, leaving others intact, it was announced today. The erasure can be done while a mouse tries to retrieve an individual memory, said Joe Z. Tsien, brain scientist and co-director of the Brain & Behavior Discovery Institute at the Medical College [...]

Well, it had to happen sooner or later. And while I admit I have been lax in watching the nutty one of late, it seems that it is no beyond doubt that she has gone beyond the usual ranting about our Judeo-Christian heritage, the perfidy of the atheist left and how the Muslims will murder [...]
Why aren’t you afraid enough yet?

On the back of Jacqui Smith’s incredible contempt for Parliament (only matched by her contempt for civil liberties, it seems), comes another “you should be very afraid” story from none other than the Security Minister, Lord West. Now, I know this may come as shocking news to anyone who has lived under a rock since…oh, [...]
Obama was for homosexuality before he was against it (aka “Obama flip-flopped on his sexuality”)

Over on PD.com, I’ve been keeping a fairly comprehensive list of the smears put out by the most wingnutty of online bloggers and sites – mostly for my own amusement. Now I thought we had hit Peak Stupidity when it came to Obama being both a Muslim radical and a scary Christian Black Sepratist, but [...]

Oh Larry Flint, you do make me laff… Many of you may not know about Hustler Magazine’s Larry Flint and his Sarah Palin inspired porn movie title “Nailin Paylin.” A little tasteless perhaps, but this morning TMZ reports exclusive (G rated) photos from the movie set, which is set for release sometime before the election.

The fact is…the economic crisis is boring the shit out of me

No, honestly. Maybe it’s just because I’m not really an economic’s guy. When I was studying, I was in for the terrorism, irregular warfare, security studies, political ideology and hot chicks (and if you believe they are lacking, I suggest checking out Yulia Tymoshenko and getting back to me). While of course we had to [...]
Its time for another edition of….2 minute blogs of hate roundup!

Yes, I have been lax, but I intend to do a lot more writing this week. And where better to start than with my now infamous feature, mocking BNP bloggers? Sarah Maid of Albion – Its so unfair that Sarah Palin got caught out on something she did wrong, when all these clearly plausible theories [...]
