James Brown Dance Lessons


The great James Brown teaches you different dance steps in this random video.

The Muck Gap


Josh Marshall of TPMTV has discovered that even though the democrats are the ruling party in Congress, the republicans still dominate when it comes to scandals. Here's a quick rundown of all of the criminal investigations since the democrats took over.

Gay Marriage Licences Issued in Iowa


Woohoo!!

GOP Hooker Scandal du Jour


Karl Rove once famously blamed the GOP's political loss in the 2006 mid-term elections on the Mark Foley sex scandal. So, Air America's Rachel Maddow took a look at all of the GOP sex scandals before and after 2006, and wonders how the 2008 elections will turn out.

Symphony in Slang


Directed by Tex Avery in 1951.

Revolting Cocks - "Do Ya' Think I'm Sexy?"

John Edwards on New Orleans


Presidential candidate John Edwards gave a speech the other day at Georgia South Western State University, in which he addressed the concerns about the continued devastation in New Orleans and what he planned to do, if elected. He also introduced his proposal for "Brownie's Law", which would require those who hold high level Cabinet positions to actually be qualified to do their jobs. How novel!

Merry-Go-Round Water Pumps


This organization distributes water pumps to areas of the world that are in desperate need of clean water. The pumps, however, are powered by children's merry-go-rounds. The more they play, the more clean water is produced for the whole village.

What a great idea!

Little Britain - Sir Norman Fry

Much like America's current batch of corrupt republican politicians, Sir Norman Fry of the UK comedy hit Little Britain has had to call a few press conferences to explain his behavior.

What happened in King's Cross.


What happened in the public toilet.


What happened to his naked photos.

Amanda Lear - "Alphabet"


I'm planning on doing a big tribute to the great and wonderful Amanda Lear sometime really soon. But this video just popped up on YouTube today and I couldn't resist posting it. This is Amanda Lear singing a disco/classical alphabet for "the children of [her] generation", from 1977. For those who aren't familiar with Ms. Lear, this video will tell you everything you need to know, and give you all the reasons why you will now worship her and her amazing fabulosity.

Say a prayer to her every night. She is our savior.

Alberto Gonzales - Unforgettable


TPMTV has put together a top ten video of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales's greatest moments. Oh, how the country's muckrakers and comedians mourn his resignation.

Tomboy - "It's Okay to Be Gay"


This is dedicated to Republican Senator Larry Craig, Republican Senator Mark Foley, Republican state legislator Bob Allen, Republican Reverend Ted Haggard, and all those other lunatic closet queens out there tonight.

I hope that someday soon you all find the courage to be who you are, instead of acting like a bunch of disgusting hypocritical, homophobic, self-hating, bible-thumping, criminal, low-life bastards, who give honest proud gay people a bad name. It is time to get your dirty skank asses off the down low and face up to your shit.

You're here. You're queer. Get used to it!

Republican Sex Crime Recap


On tonight's Hardball, David Shuster reported in depth on the Senator Larry Craig case, adding statements from the arresting officer and past allegations of Craig involving gay sex with congressional pages (you know, the same kids Senator Mark Foley was chasing...). Shuster also added a recap of some of this year's conservative republican sex crime highlights. And I swear you can hear Shuster nearly crack up as he reads the report.

My only complaint: he forgot Florida state legislator Bob Allen, who was arrested for doing the exact same thing in a public restroom just last month.

Red State Update: Larry Craig


Jackie believes in the sanctity of bathrooms.

Cafferty File: Sen. Craig's Political Future


Tonight CNN's Jack Cafferty discussed the Senator Craig case and Craig's claim that he has not yet made up his mind about whether or not to run for reelection. The email question Cafferty posed to his viewers was: "How would you describe Senator Larry Craig's political future?" The responses were delicious.

Senator Larry Craig: "I Am Not Gay."

Where is The Daily Show when you need it!?!?! First Gonzales resigns and now we have anti-gay Republican Senator Larry Craig arrested in a men's room for soliciting gay sex... I mean, come on!! Oh well, in the meantime, we just have the fools themselves to laugh at.

Anyway, here's Larry's press conference from earlier today, in which he states for the record, "I am not gay." Apparently, he just "overreacted" in Minneapolis. Poor, poor legislator... Seems the actual practice of law was just too much for him.

Well, Senator Craig, no one believes your arrested gay sex soliciting gay ass...

(Much more coverage available in an earlier post.)

The Gay Old Party Strikes Again


The republican Senator from Idaho, Larry Craig, plead guilty after being arrested in an airport men's room for trying to solicit sex from an undercover police officer. Now that the story has gone nationwide, he's trying to deny the charges.

It shouldn't be surprising to you that Senator Craig is also married and has voted against gay marriage rights.

I just love that so many "family values" republicans are such freakyass sex-crime-committing nellys. I hope we get a few more of these dipshits before Bush's term is up.
-------------------------------------------

UPDATE: Some local news anchors re-enacted Senator Craig's bathroom pick up on air. Also, too, Senator Craig is the co-chair of Mitt Romney's presidential campaign... Can this story get anymore hysterical? Please!?!

-------------------------------------------

UPDATE #2: Oh, kaloo-kalay - it gets better!! Here's a video clip from tonight's Hardball of Senator Larry Craig on January 24th, 1999. In an interview on Meet the Press, he had the nerve to call then President Bill Clinton a "nasty, naughty boy" for gettin' a blow job from Monica Lewinsky. Even Chris Matthews has a hard time swallowing the hypocrisy. (**This story makes me so happy!!!**)

UPDATE #3: Someone's got a crushy-poo! Here's a clip of Senator Larry Craig, Idaho campaign chairman for Mitt Romney, talking about how fabulous Romney is and how much he loves him.

Smiling Faces


Here's a handy guide to corrupt Republicans who have been convicted, indicted and investigated over the last few years. It's one damn long list of criminal activity...

Headzup: Alberto Gonzales Resigns

Gonzales Resigns: The Parade of Speeches

Since the news broke this morning, there's been a few big press conferences.

First up, Gonzo himself makes the formal announcement. Kinda looks like he wants to cry.


Next up, Lame Duck Bushie flaps his gums and proves that he is not only completely clueless, but totally irrelevant. Seriously, why does anybody even pay attention to him anymore? He's officially pointless.


And finally, Senator Chuck Schumer attempts to talk some sense into the administration by asking for a replacement who is actually qualified for the job. What a novelty that would be.

Queen - "Another One Bites the Dust"


In loving tribute to Gonzo's resignation.

Ding! Dong! Another One Gone!

What a great way to start the day! Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has resigned! And yet another Bush appointee has jumped ship. First Karl Rove, then Tony Snow, and now Gonzo. Who's next? And who, oh who, will replace these clowns?

Bill Moyers Journal - Low Power Radio

Click to view video.

This week's Bill Moyers Journal focussed on big media's attempts to consolidate power and lobby Congress and the FCC.

In this segment, Moyers looked at the services provided by small local broadcasters and how they benefit their communities. During Hurricane Katrina, only 4 out of 41 broadcasters were able to stay on air and provide the area with coverage of the storm, as well as issue evacuation warnings and direct survivors to FEMA aid centers - information the big media failed to offer. And this isn't the first time big media has failed the districts in which they broadcast.

But now we have a chance to turn it all around. Legislation in both the House and the Senate could help to promote local media and restore a balance of power over the public airwaves.

Radio personality Rush Limbaugh recently claimed that the reason Democrats want to pull the troops out of Iraq is because they want to get them into Darfur. He then went on to claim that the only reason they want to help the people of Darfur is because they are black, and Democrats need black people to vote for them.

I'm not joking. Listen for yourself.
