Novel Approach to End Gun Violence

H/T to Matt.

On the Cover of the Rolling Stone

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Love her or hate her, Loretta Nall clearly provides more color to the Alabama political scene than all of our state politicians (John Rogers notwithstanding, maybe…) combined. I’ve certainly had a lot of fun tag-teaming with her on media campaigns — the most notable one being when we developed her FlashForCash campaign, and then […]

Best GOP Debate Snark Award

Friday, November 30th, 2007

From Loretta via Dan:
Bring all the troops home and send Mitt Romney’s hair over there to kick Middle Eastern ass! That shit looks like it could saw through titanium and diamonds!

Changing My View on Torture

Friday, November 30th, 2007

I’ve been vocal about my adamant opposition to torture lately.  I’ve got mixed feelings on capital punishment.  Cops running around tasing people willy-nilly and shooting 92-year-old women in botched drug raids has had me a bit upset, as well.
In this one case, an exception is permitted.  Tase the bastard, waterboard him while shoving bamboo splinters […]

SexToyTroy, Piggies and Political Cartoons

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Three days ago, when I reported that Alabama Attorney General Troy King plans to ask the state legislature to toughen sex toy laws in the state, I never imagined how comical the issue might eventually become. My friend Loretta suggested that people should mail the AG some sex toys, but ultimately decided to mail […]

Feminism to Blame for Neanderthal Extinction?

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

According to the Boston Globe, Ms. Caveman caused the demise of the Neanderthals.
The Neanderthal extinction some 30,000 years ago remains one of the great riddles of evolution, with rival theories blaming everything from genocide committed by “real” humans to prehistoric climate change.
But a recent study introduces another explanation: Stone Age feminism. Among Neanderthals, hunting big […]

Asymmetrical Medical Advice

Friday, November 9th, 2007

After stopping by a doc-in-a-box, Megan McArdle ponders:
I am solemnly informed that this is not the right way to get medical care; I should have a primary care physician who really knows my case well. But this does not actually describe any primary care physician I have ever had, who was reading off the chart […]

There Must Be Some Killer Weed in Montgomery…

Friday, November 9th, 2007

…Loretta Nall did the math.

Editing Reason’s Editor

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Nick Gillespie asked whether Fred Thompson is a human dynamo or a lazy turd? I’m forced to remind my friend that the proper libertarian alternative (according to the South Park Libertarian Lexicon) should be lazy “turd sandwich.”

Liveblogging the GOP Debate

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

The typing may be awful, as I just impaled my hand with a spike from a chicken rotisserie. Don’t ask how it happened, but I haven’t even had a sip of alcohol (yet). Good thing my wife’s a doctor.
Pregame Show
The Frank Luntz/Jimmy the Greek focus group is really scared the Democrats will […]

Predicting the Winning 2008 Election Issue

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

As a political consultant, one of the key things I study and survey campaign after campaign is which issues voters are going to base their election day decisions upon. Finally, we have concrete data about what will drive voters in the 2008 elections. Here’s the news report:
Poll: Bullshit Is Most Important Issue For […]

State of Alabama Protects Our Democracy

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

It’s vitally important that Alabama has a state level Department of Homeland Security. I’m not sure if Nostradamus designed the official seal for the city of Birmingham, but it very clearly depicts a plane about to fly into one of the Magic City’s taller buildings.
Take a close look at the seal. Closer. […]

2015AD: Bizarro Future World

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Here’s my prediction of the front page stories from the New York Times around eight years from now. I’m not making this stuff up. According to today’s mainstream media, Giuliani does plan to protect us from space aliens and people will be having sex with robots over the next few years.
President Giuliani Announces $37 […]
