I’m having a bit of trouble  deciding which part of President Pissypant’s final Jeopardy answer was more appalling today. On the one hand, there was the part where he proudly described the half-a-loaf health care bill he birthed, made all the easier when he paved the road by aborting the public option before negotiations even [...]

Donald Douglas points out that Elizabeth Edwards has failed to give a shout-out to He Who Gave Her Cancer. The story’s trending at Memeorandum. And at ABC News, “Elizabeth Edwards Won’t Receive Anymore Cancer Treatment: John Edwards’ Joins Family at His Wife’s Side.” But I notice at her farewell statement an odd aspect to her [...]

Like her mother, SnowSnooki Jr. does not take kindly to people saying not-nice things about her and, like her mother, her natural response is to go to ShoutyFacebook and get her bitch on in the loving embrace of her highly regulated GED-minions.
