    Stephen’s Angry Mob Will Crush AIG (click to show/hide Colbert video)

    another crappy week in crapistan

    Sorry for the lack of posts — L. came down with something like the plague and has been coughing up bits of lung for about 5 days now, and yesterday woke up looking like he’d developed full-blown mumps overnight (either his lymph nodes are having a hard time with the virus or it’s a secondary bacterial infection). So, off to the urgent care and [...]

    In court records unsealed Monday in U.S. District Court in Jackson, Tenn., federal agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target [...]

    Remember the primary debacle this past spring? Remember all the times that qualified, worthy candidates were shut out of an election because they stood outside the major political parties? Remember your frustration after Florida in 2000 or Ohio in 2004?

    With our current electoral system, voters often must choose between the ‘lesser of two [...]
