Gaywo Jima, gays storm heterosexual marriage.Mark Sanford’s heterosexual affair and crumbling marriage are the work of gays and Democrats, according to his wife Jenny. In her own words:

“Of course I’m not saying that Mark is gay, but he may as well be.  The moral decay in this country has claimed another victim and this time it was my family.  Our marriage was perfect until these laws started passing around the country. Clearly the slow dissolution of the sanctity of marriage in America seeped into Mark’s psyche until he no longer felt compelled to abide by our vows.” – Jenny Sanford Read more

Laura BushYears ago, I was teased by a satirical article depicting a Tom Cruise sex toy (be careful- NSFW), but today's torment is even worse because it involves the Bushes. The GlossyNews.com has a fantastic review of Laura Bush's new book, "Pleasures of Masturbation".  (It's a credit to the writer that he didn't make any puns about her last name...) "Pleasures of Masturbation" is  the perfect fake title for a fake book for the wife of an ex-president who many considered to be a fake-president during his first term.

(Why oh why must reality get in my way of the enjoyment of this story and why wasn't I smart enough to think of it myself?)

The GOP is full of embarrassing things, like Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney and President Bush's administration; however there are a few things the GOP should REALLY be shamed for.

What does it mean to be American?

America is often referred to as a melting pot, as a land of immigrants, of opportunity, of refuge. At the same time it is characterized by a brutal and violent history of intolerance, murder and exploitation. While the Statue of Liberty has come to stand, both literally and figuratively, as a guardian over immigrants and the American dream of a “better life,” America could just as easily have the statue of a gun grace its money, sacred grounds and serve as a figure-head for its history.

The Winning HandNot every disputed election ends with in revolutions in the streets. Take the case of Cave Creek, AZ (wonder how they picked that name), who recently had a tie-breaker in their election for the top CIty Council seat.

The Arizona state legislature mandates that any election ties are to be determined in a game of chance. Perhaps not feeling lucky enough to toss a coin, roll dice or draw straws, the incumbent Thomas McGuire and Adam Trenk decided to go a more traditional route,  (no they did not have a duel) and instead decided the election based on the highest card.

Imagine the made-for-tv movie with the accompanying sappy music and/or drumroll to set the scene.

The incumbent drew first. Again, we are talking cards, not guns here. It was a six of hearts.

Senator EnsignSchadenfreude has to be my new favorite German word, far outranking Kindergarten and Gesundheit not for the sheer pleasure I get from it falling off of my tongue, but for its meaning. Delight when others fall.

While I personally could care less who is doing who, I do find it interesting that the latest sexual scandal to hit the US involving yet another Republican politician involves not only sex, but possible bribery as well. "The 19-year-old son of a woman who reportedly had an affair with Nevada Sen. John Ensign was being paid by the National Republican Senatorial Committee during the relationship, federal election records show." Read more

The Democrats currently have a climate change bill before the House. Al Gore is a fan, the Republicans are not.

Pretty standard.

In his party's weekly address Republican Congressman Mike Pence, Republican Congressman used his party's weekly address to say that the Democratic energy plan will cost Americans far too much money and that the Republicans have a much better plan.

Again, pretty standard.

Arguments between the parties are nothing new- but the reasons for the incessant arguing are becoming less standard. As the green business world continues to evolve, the classic lines between business and democratic ideals are blurring. The Triple Bottom Line (People/Planet/Profit) is blending what is good for the environment and the people with what is good for the bottom line. It won't work anymore for the two parties to argue over how a climate change bill should look- what they should be arguing about is how to make it work for everyone. Read more

It's all about the CarI would just like to send a little message to all of the rich Republicans out there, oblivious to the recession. Wake the Fuck Up! Pardon my French, but did you happen to notice the tiny little thing that is quite possibly becoming a depression in this country? Or were you too busy enjoying your bonuses?

Our unemployment rate is at 9.4% according to a recent New York Times article. This means that virtually a tenth of the population is without jobs and those figures only reflect those actively looking for jobs.

People are still losing their homes to Foreclosures because they can't pay their mortgages, likely because someone in the family lost their job through no fault of their own. Read more

The Republican Majority Campaign political action committee recently sent out an e-mail to it’s supporters seeking $119 so they could fax a letter to every member of congress warning of Barack Hussein (they had to get that in there) Obama’s plan to “take over the ENTIRE internet.” Of course, what the liberal media isn’t telling you is about all the other great deals you can get to fight Obama’s hostile takeover of the internets.

For just $94.50, the Republicans 4 Teknology PAC will send you a beeper that pages you frequently with a toll-free number you can call to get updates on how liberals are planning to use The Google to teach your children about gay marriage.
