The Smug Baldy Speaks

Watching the tears stream down Tim Tebow’s face, that’s what.

I posted a while ago about some of the shenanigans involving the expanding role of radical Islam within the Texas State Board of Education (here and here). It turns out that, while the good people of Texas were sleeping, self-appointed imams have inserted a curriculum requirement to provide an elective course to teach about the [...]

A while ago I posted a story about what could probably be described as the least fun Star Wars action figure around. Since I’m an original fan (having seen Star Wars no fewer than 6 times in 1977) I thought I should try to bring you a few more Star Wars collectibles for your enjoyment. [...]

There are times in your life that you have to engage in self-reflection.

During the landmark 2008 US Presidential Campaign, Republicans across the US took a strong, wrong-headed stand on energy. What was their proposed solution to soaring gas prices?

This made us chuckle. We’re glad that John’s handling the economic crisis with the intensity of a psychopathic astronaut.

You’re at a party, and the lights are flashing, the music is pumping, and people talking, laughing, clapping, dancing, and then a rumor starts: somewhere, out of sight, someone might have puked.
