  • A heartbeat away from a Bizarro POTUS

    I'm no Democrat nor am I no Republican, I am an American who is now scared that this slick Bizarro Elaine Benes can get her ticket elected and be a heartbeat away from becoming a POTUS. Considering her attitude and record, she will surpass Dick Cheney and George W. Bush in furthering the erosion of America's place in the world. No more ...

  • Hostage

    Is Sen. Obama going to be held hostage by the HRC and her supporters because she lost the race fair and square? - without all that convoluted math about her winning the most popular votes - I am still scratching my head over that ploy and how anyone would fall for that. I am a 59 year old white female accountant and I could just never get into ...

  • The Real Reason Why Hillary Can't Give a Speech on Gender

(My favorite, which must have dated from somewhere around 1979, had to do with a child named ‘X’, who had no evident gender ...

  • XX Factor is NOT anti-feminist

    Or rather, the women who post in XX Factor are not anti-feminist. I can see a debate over whether the existence of the XX Factor is anti-feminist or sexist (is lumping them all together ghetto-izing women's voices or making them more clearly heard?) but my interpretation of their posts (the vast majority of them anyway) doesn't lead me to ...

  • Re: Chelsa Clinton

    ''Do you even understand the ISSUE?'' Your simplistic dismissal of the query reveals exactly what is wrong with so-called ''news'' nowadays. Whatever his intent, using ''pimped'', ''pimped-out'', or any variation in reference to ANY public figure, not just Hilary and Bill's daughter, is at least graceless and vulgar, an should be considered far ...
