All Fridays Are Good

By system

Bumping Uglies on the Campaign Trail

By system

American politics can make you crazy. I opened the paper today to see that my favorite candidate from 2000 joined this year's race and my first reaction was "Fuck you! Stay the fuck out, you evil bastard!"

Beer and Honkys in San Luis Obispo

By system

I hear the cops in San Luis Obispo were herding people around like cattle this weekend. Guess you can only call a place a "cow-town" for so long before the people internalize it.

Venture to Speculate in the Dark

By system

Dean is gone without winning a single state. At least he proved he could name 16 of them in 19 seconds. But that on-stage freak-out was bad strategy - everyone knows you wait to act like a maniac until you're in the priv...

I Shot a Man in Florida

You Are My Sunshine

I received a letter from a reader upset about my recent Bush bashing. He called this box BS and said it is "about nothing at all." He didn't say how he read and got so worked up about nothing at all.

Russert Probes Bush in Oval Office

Can you believe the balls on NBC? A week after CBS causes super-frenzy by showing Janet's boob for a split second, the Peacock answers with the most vulgar thing they can come up with: An hour long close-up of Bush.

Puff, Puff, Pass/No Pass

By system

I was sitting on the couch and one of my friends said something about it being my pass time. I was angrily telling him I'd barely even hit the mofo once, let alone twice, and how I've killed people for saying less when I...

Schmuck Hunt

Martha Stewart is getting ratted out by a temp who overheard some insider trading action. She should have known trusting one of those urban drifters was not a good thing - they'll drop dime quicker than John Kerry can ma...
