In Brazil for a couple of weeks, a nation where religion does not infiltrate retail politics. I am watching CNN, where Hillary is getting the Torquemada treatment from a crew of media trained whitebread fundamentalist Christian cuthroats. An event billed as the Compassion Forum… While I am no fan of the former co-president Mrs. Clinton, […]

God is undoubtedly pleased to know that the religious have been putting atheists in their place this week. First, an Illinois state legislator lost it while questioning one of ‘em during a public hearing. Here’s Representative Monique Davis, who is, unfortunately, a Democrat: “What you have to spew and spread is extremely dangerous . . […]

As a founding blogger of BoB, humbly beg to report I am thoroughly disgusted at the recent narrowing down- and simpling down- of the subject focus here. Hilla should this, Barack should that.  The Dems this, the Dems that.  While my observations and transgressions in such areas are duly noted, the mashup of “engagement” and […]

Like Angelo told his guy Clay… stick and move. 

This Habib… the brand logo on the right in the Wikipedia link says it all.  Obama has survived the night of the long knives, the sharpest from Paulie the K at Times Tower. But, as those dyed-in-the-wool Democrats pollster-wonks, the Zogby brothers, are wont to admit, the more damaging sotto voce suggesting that Barack Hussein is a “closet Muslim” is waiting […]

It is, I think, worth pausing a moment to deconstruct the “Cult of X” meme. To assert that people are members of a cult implies that they believe irrationally, clinging to belief even in the face of contrary evidence. Thus, the notion that Obama supporters form a cult depends on the following logic: (1) Obama […]

What happens when the Bush administration puts a fundamentalist,philandering,corrupt doggie doc in charge of the security of the Rx drug supply of the world’s greatest democracy? Dr Les Crawford, a DVM, ran the FDA for his fellow Americans when the marketing for Vytorin, a high priced drug designed to lower cholesterol and reduce arterial plaque was rolled out.  Now, […]

Olympic hero Carl Lewis didn’t hit the slammer during the Reagan years for being geeked on HGH. But this game be played with Dubya Rules and the man took Miss Jones to the hoop.  Unlike Vegas, what happens in ”Club Fed” doesn’t stay in “Club Fed.”  A diosa like MJ needs some divine intervention.

I used to have a blog called the Daily Aneurysm, so named because there’s something in the news every day that’s so stupid it makes your head hurt. For example, the following resolution, which was debated and voted on in the House of Representatives yesterday:
Recognizing the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith.
–Whereas Christmas, […]

Before getting on to the topic of my gasbaggery, I’d like to extend a welcome to our new colleagues, Sasha and Max. From their early posts, it’s clear that they’ll be raising the collective IQ of this blog by quite a few points, and I think I can speak for all of the BotB veterans […]
