During last month's special election for mayor of San Diego, a group of people arrived in horse-drawn carriages and posted themselves outside 11 precincts. When people emerged from the polls they asked them how they had voted and marked down the answers using a charred stick and papyrus. After spending several days tabulating their results […]

America-hating cartoonist Ted Rall has "retracted" one of his cartoons because he is a moron. "I read a story that came off as possible, sourced it using previously reliable informants, and ended up doing a cartoon that I wouldn't have done had I known then what I know now. So this is a retraction of […]
Quoted on Fox News' "Special Report with Brit Hume" in a report on the nomination of John Roberts to the Supreme Court we have our Idiot of the day: Debra Ness of the National Partnership for Women. The right of women to vote, the right to privacy, all of these are rights that Americans hold […]
