department of political correctness

this makes me sick: today, wikileaks released a military video and transcript they acquired depicting US helicopters gunning down a group of Reuters journalists in Iraq. the cameras slung over their shoulders were mistaken as AK-47s and RPGs (rocket-propelled grenades). the video is 3 years old, from 2007, so it’s irrelevant to get up in […]

One Big Ass Mistake America That’s what I saw gracing the back of an old Ford pickup truck as I took the cat to the vet on Thursday. it immediately made me think of a Saturday Night Live sketch from last week that we just saw the night before. my first thought in response to […]
