The Senate gave Bush his precious telecomm immunity.
After nearly two months of stops and starts, the Senate rejected by a vote of 31 to 67 a move to strip away a grant of retroactive legal immunity for the companies…
The Senate also rejected two amendments that sought to water down the immunity provision.
One, co-sponsored by Republican […]

Gawker’s right. Their leaked Scientology video starring Tom Cruise is equal parts funny and terrifying. Enjoy it while you can, because even though Gawker’s claiming they’ll keep it up, the Scientologists have ways of making you crumple.
Now that Will Smith’s fallen, we’re all doomed, aren’t we?

Un-be-fucking-lieeeeeeevable. I’m really sorry it’s all gloom and doom from me when I find the time to post these days, but I am fed up with the defeatist language of the Democrats. It alternately depresses me to the point of inaction and sends me into a frothing tizzy accompanied by incoherent thoughts.
Allow me […]

I guess when a country ponders approving a 3 trillion dollar budget when it’s already 9 trillion in the red, the idea of anyone ever actually paying off their bills must seem like a sucker bet. At least, that’s what certain “optimists” are *hoping* is the case when our little tax rebates start showing […]

A young Republican from Minnesota displays his maturity, his superior reasoning abilities, and yes, even his excellent grasp of his First Amendment rights in this touching story of a man and his fight against oppression.
Cody Hauer has been cited four times in one week for displaying a 13-inch-by-40-inch “Ron Paul Revolution” decal in the rear […]

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, which is one of our favorite holidays over here at PAB, a time when we can pause, look at the people around us participating in the Valentine’s hype, and reflect about how much better we are than them because we’re so above that shit.
Especially us single ones. So nyah.
Ok, I’m […]

“Obama’s middle name is HUSSEIN. Like Saddam Hussein. Get it? That’s proof right there he’s part of the global jihadist movement.”
Believe it or not, I actually overheard a college-educated individual utter that statement while on a recent trip. Chalk up this brand of ignorant paranoia as reason #11043 the Democrats […]

It’s 2 in the morning, Kyso has been drinking since noon. Her friend drops her off at home, and she realizes she has a sore throat and headache and fixes herself a cup of Theraflu and goes to tell her roommate about her day.

Roommate:..uh-huh, hey what’s that?
Kyso: Theraflu.
Roommate: Nononononono (takes cup from Kyso and puts it far away from her)
Kyso (In a huff): What? Fuck you! (Flounces to bathroom)
Roommate (When Kyso returns): Well I asked [everyone on his World of Warcraft chat thing] and they agree: taking Theraflu while bombed is a terrible, terrible idea.
Kyso: So the fuck what? What are they, doctors?
Roommate: Well, at least one, yes. D (another friend of his) checked him out when he first claimed to be a doctor, and he is.
Other Roommate: What? Oh, wait, ThunderGod, of course.
Kyso: Grrr. [Goes to bed without mutilating her liver].

My favorite anti-feminist, Lady Lydia, has discovered video blogging and once again reminds me that despite our differences, we have much in common. I, too, enjoy porches and folding towels into fun shapes, although I draw the line at embellishing a stack of ordinary folded towels.
And like Punkassblog, Home Living gets the […]

Six years, umpteen godzillion dollars and a Patriot Act later and this is all we got?
While the Defense Department conducts exhaustive planning for operations overseas, its planning for possible action inside the United States in response to attacks is inadequate, said the Commission on the National Guard and Reserves.
“We looked at their plans. They’re totally […]
