Calling the recent child molestation accusations a “desperate political attack,” far-right Christian folk hero Roy Moore assures his supporters that he’ll continue his run for Senate

Well, it looks like I was right a few days ago, when, channeling my inner Johnnie Cochran, I proclaimed, “Where there are four, you know there are more.” This afternoon, an Alabama woman by the name of Beverly Young-Nelson came forward to announce that she too had been sexually assaulted by Republican Senate candidate Roy […]

Yates pretty much said what people thought that she’d say… that it was brought to her attention that Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor Michael Flynn had lied about his […]

The perfect comic book ending for the 2016 Republican primary

I know it’s highly unlikely that Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer, and more unlikely still that, if he were, he’d decide to come out of retirement during the upcoming Republican National Convention, but, given how the primary has gone thus far, it really wouldn’t surprise me if he walked out on the stage in […]
