The Smug Baldy Speaks

Some people – myself included – suspected that the presidential debates weren’t debates as much as they were shared stump speeches. Based on the evidence in this video, we find this suspicion is well founded. Get the latest news satire and funny videos at 236.com. Thanks to Matt for the heads up!

The final presidential “debate” is past, and both Barak Obama and John McCain are taking their largely negative campaigns into the home stretch.

Sean over at Cosmic Variance hopes, as I do, that Hillary Clinton will stop taking the low road in her attempt to secure her nomination. In the most recent example, Hillary’s support for the ill-conceived gas tax holiday is built upon a foundation of presenting opponents (most importantly, Barak Obama) as elitist and out of [...]

Over at RedState.com, gamecock raised a bunch of crazy ideas, but let’s start with this.
