Opinion: Can We at Least Make it a Little Harder to Get Killed in America?
Tuesday, December 18, 2012
When Americans say "gun control," we mean "gun inconvenience." We mean "gun paperwork." We mean "filling out gun forms."
Opinion: Want to Get Rid of Grover Norquist for Good? Vote in Primaries
Wednesday, December 05, 2012
Wishful thinking isn't going to diminish Grover's influence. But everyone getting off of their collective lazy bums come primary day certainly will.
Opinion: Meet the Terrible, No-Good Tea Bag Running for Virginia Governor
Monday, December 03, 2012
I’m going to tell you why you should care: Ken Cuccinelli is about as moderate as a punch in the face. If he wins, which is very possible, any talk of the Republican Party moving back to the center will go by the wayside.
Opinion: We've Finally Come to Our Senses on Legalized Pot; Let's Keep Going
Monday, November 26, 2012
So now what? Will this cause our daughters to listen to jazz? Will everyone become jabbering leftists who burn the American flag and mock U.S. war dead?
Opinion: I Don't Care about the Petraeus Scandal, and Neither Should You
Thursday, November 15, 2012
Can we stop to think for a second about how staggeringly pointless it is to expect sexual and moral purity from the head of the CIA?
Opinion: Thank You, Tea Party, for Getting the GOP Shellacked in 2012
Friday, November 09, 2012
Indiana is as red as a baboons butt, but the Tea Party candidate was still too far to the right for Indiana voters, particularly when said candidate had such interesting ideas about God and rape.
Opinion: Wait, Mitt Romney Really Didn't Know any Smart Women?
Wednesday, October 17, 2012
It says something about the guy and his attitude towards women when you consider that even his self-generated, wishful-thinking scenarios seem completely outdated.
Neil Young: One For The Aliens, One For The Sun
Monday, October 15, 2012
The next installment of our game “One for the Aliens, One for the Sun” asks listeners to make tough choices about songs in Neil Young’s catalog.
Opinion: Cutting Funding to Arts isn't Good Business
Thursday, October 04, 2012
I can turn on the TV, watch Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, or I can drive over to the federally subsidized Kennedy Center and watch Dr. Lonnie Smith crush it on the Hammond organ with his trio.
Opinion: The Life of a Fat Cat Government Worker
Friday, September 21, 2012
When people see stories where the premise is “D.C. = rich people,” they make that leap into “government worker = rich people,” which is a little like making the assumption that everyone in Vegas is a casino owner.
Opinion: Sad Tale of the Pizza Owner Who Hugged Obama
Thursday, September 13, 2012
If conservatives worship the self-made man who gives to the community because he wants to and not because he has to, then they should be lining up to not only eat at Big Apple Pizza but to kiss Scott Van Duzer on the face.
Opinion: Hey Homophobes, It's Game Over after the NFL Dustup
Tuesday, September 11, 2012
Let me preface this by saying that if the Baltimore Ravens stadium were on fire, and I had just finished drinking a six pack of beer, as a Redskins fan I would do nothing to help put the fire out.
Opinion: Did you think the GOP's War on Science Was Over? It's Not
Thursday, August 30, 2012
Hey Congress, please let people with either a legitimate science background or at least a respect for science serve on the Science Committee.
Opinion: I Didn't Mean to Say that about Abortion, It Was a Trap!
Monday, August 20, 2012
(Disclaimer: Don’t actually go out and punch Todd Akin in the privates. I’m sure that over the next few months, simply being Todd Akin will be punishment enough.)
Opinion: Hey Family Research Council, Hate Crime Laws are for Christians, Too
Wednesday, August 15, 2012
If only there were laws that would emphasize how terrible those crimes are, or if only there were a way to add extra legal penalties to the sentences of people who kill and maim based on hatred for others!
That's My Issue: Fixing Insurance
Wednesday, August 15, 2012
Two guys, the same illness, the same treatment - two very different results.
Opinion: We Aren't Learning the Lessons of Jared Loughner - and other Crazed Gunmen
Monday, August 13, 2012
In a lot of states, it’s easier to get into medical school than it is to get state-ordered psychiatric care.
Opinion: Crying Wolf on 'Voter Fraud' and Other Dirty GOP Tricks
Tuesday, August 07, 2012
I don’t believe that Maryland Republicans are racist. I truly don’t. They’re just practical. If black voters had a tendency to vote in a manner that pleased the Maryland Republican Party, they would help them get to the polls.
Opinion: Freedom of Religion? How About Freedom From Religion
Friday, August 03, 2012
It’s hard for me to get really worked up over American policy becoming inconvenient to religious beliefs, particularly when the religious beliefs of others are quite often cheerfully inserted into the lives of Americans.
Opinion: Sarah Palin's Beautiful, Socialist Alaska
Monday, July 30, 2012
How can the governor of a state absolutely up to its hips in federal loot and absolutely dependent on said loot claim to want the government out of the lives of her fellow citizens?
