Asshat Of The Week (and it’s only Tuesday!)

Like many politicians, this one is completely and utterly clueless (from the Raleigh N&0) CARRBORO – Alderman John Herrera wants Carrboro to be the first town in North Carolina to give noncitizens the vote.

Another Brilliant EU Idea

What is it with liberals/socialists? They seem to think that appeasment is wonderful, and, then, to top it off, they give people even more then they want: Key European nations are considering offering Iran a light-water nuclear reactor as part of incentives meant to persuade Tehran to give up its uranium enrichment program, a senior […]

Got tired of the pirate flag one, wanted to switch it up a bit. Besides, it wasn’t actually the Blackbeard one, which comes out pretty poorly as a Favicon. For […]
