Like Osama bin Laden, Muammar Gaddafi, and Anwar al-Awlaki. Those dudes gotta be wishin’ Bush was still in office, eh? (Click the pic for a bigger version.) (They left out Saddam Hussein.)

Oh, this is freaking rich. Lawyers for state Rep. Paul Scott, a Republican from Grand Blanc, will ask the Michigan Supreme Court to reconsider its surprise ruling Thursday to give the green light to a Nov. 8 recall election targeting Scott. ~SNIP~ The on-again, off-again nature of the recall, which had been ordered to a halt by lower court rulings […]

If there is anyone out there that continues to say that the only reason Barack Obama enjoys such immense popularity among African Americans because he is himself African American, I offer you THIS from Herman Cain’s visit to Detroit: With the dilapidated Michigan Central Station train depot in the background, Herman Cain made his first visit to Michigan as a […]

New Jersey Senate candidate Phil Mitsch says women should be “whores in the bedroom. Well, to be fair, he has apologized. But not before saying some other (not) awesome things by way of giving “relationship tips”.
