The call to arms went out last week. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), who made her name suggesting that Barack Obama and other Democrats have "anti-American" views, appeared on Fox News on Friday night and urged Americans to come to Washington to protest: "We need to pay a house call on Nancy Pelosi and tell her what she can do with the Pelosi health-care plan."... They came as directed, about 5,000 tea party regulars and anti-abortion activists, to the West Lawn of the Capitol for what Bachmann called a "Super Bowl of Freedom," sponsored by Republican members of Congress. And what...

The other day a story came out in the Washington Post indicating that Senate plans for “health reform” could very much end up coming down to this: Get healthy or the get taxed to death, with the emphasis on dying sooner so you can get the hell out of the way.

Say your country has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive toward its allies, then turn around and show arrogance and be dismissive, even derisive toward its allies. Ignore the man you picked to lead a "war of necessity" and endlessly debate whether to unleash a surge of troops or pull outwhile the own troops who volunteered to defend you die. Release 78 terrorists into the wild so they can turn around and plot evil schemes to kill you or the people you purport to lead.

Mute and clad in a fur loincloth and armed with an ax...the d#$khead-in-charge roams the streets of the America he created...or ruined. "All new! Death-duel with the Screeching Enchantress!" "Drafted: One Hundred Days of Crap!"

As I was finishing up David Denby’s new book, I received, as one does in the Internet age, the news that T-Shirt Hell, the company whose contribution to the last election was the “Retarded Babies for Palin” T-shirt, has decided to throw in the towel. The owner says he “can’t take the stupidity anymore.” No, not the stupidity of his T-shirt slogans, but of the hate mail he receives. You’d think he might have anticipated that a nanosecond after the Muse descended to deliver the “Retarded Babies” thigh-slapper. But no, it wasn’t the hate mail over the Palin shirt but...

I have a confession to make. I think I might have a little crush on you. Oh, I know you don’t seem like the kind I usually go after. Patchouli makes me feel queasy and I prefer less drool and frothing during our special little chats, but there is just something about you that makes me smile and feel just a little more alive.

"Please, God, don't let me win this thing." Yep, those were the words coursing through Bo Bice's brain as he stood on stage before a gazillion peeps and waited for Ryan Seacrest to open "the envelope, please." Bo later explained (to the ever-curious Matt Lauer). . .

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 17, 2005--The American Center for Law and Justice, specializing in constitutional law, said today it is pleased that a federal appeals court has rejected a request by Michael Newdow to prohibit prayer at this Thursday's Presidential inauguration.
