I am jealous of America. Finally.
(Preface: This is long. But worth reading, he said humbly.)
You could, if you so desired, dig through the archives of this blog, and other blogs and opinion pieces I’ve written, and find dozens of knocks on the American political system. From detailed rants to throwaway insults, I’ve thrown more than my share of darts at [...]

But can the brotha DANCE?
It’s a well-known fact that I can’t dance. Well, okay, I can dance, just awkwardly, drunkenly, shamefully or Caucasian-ly. Or all four at once.

“This is the most exciting election we’ve had in such a long [...]

Sundays are for Saying Stupid Shit
I’m so glad that we have Bushie to kick around for another 11 months.
I’m also sure that he won’t do anything stupid during those 11 months that could alter the course of history or just create more problems for whomever is chosen to don the rubber gloves and reach deep into the Toilet of American [...]

Fox News always brings us back in…
… and y’all thought we stopped writing this blog. Never that.
It was the off-season for us, folks. Every sport has an off-season. Baseball has the winter, Football has spring and summer. Heck, basketball and hockey have all summer and then the first three months of their regular seasons. (Guess what? If you just started paying [...]
