Towards the end of the year, you often hear, “Jesus is the reason for the season.” but some have apparently made the call to embody the sentiment a wee bit sooner than usual. Case in point: 1.6 million folks have pledged to cast their ballots for neither President Obama nor Mitt Romney and, instead, plan on […]
While select political commentators continue to fight mounting evidence that Mitt Romney is about to catch the electoral fade next Tuesday (in other words, lose), I’m more interested in seeing how voters react to the three separate ballot initiatives to legalize same-sex marriage in Washington state, Maryland and Maine on the ballot this year.

All week, the businessman, television personality, conspiracy theorist, and all around messy stunt queen Donald Trump has been touting an “October surprise” about President Barack Obama that would purportedly shake up the presidential campaign. Widespread speculation predictably and disappointedly followed. Douglas Kass, a financial adviser who appears on CNBC, claimed Trump had divorce papers filed […]
There’s an advertisement running on BET that’s got a few of our own in a tizzy. Well, sort of. It doesn’t have anything to do with BET programming per se, but there is a political ad that’s running in between their shows in Cleveland and Seattle that is rubbing many President Barack Obama supporters the […]
For a band of folks constantly denying members of their fold aren’t consumed with racism, various factions of the Tea Party sure enjoy dolling out racially coded language and actively toying with racial stereotypes when peddling their political agenda. With the options for Mitt Romney to net the 270 electoral votes he needs to become one of the […]
Some continue to fight it, but the majority has ruled that President Barack Obama performed about as well in his first debate with Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney as Rick Ross would in a race against Ryan Lochte at a Hilton pool. However, the online panic attacks – i.e., openly questioning whether Obama gave up the entire presidential race […]
I immediately thought to ignore it as soon as I saw its headline: “B*tch, Get Off My Bus: Driver Uppercuts the Sh*t Outta Teen Girl In Cleveland!” but folks on the Twitter just kept talking about it and curiosity ultimately got the best of me. Not so surprisingly, it’s as awful as I imagined it […]
Have you had your daily dose of Republican-centered craziness yet? If not, gather ’round for story time and indulge in this triple dose of crazy courtesy from the state of Arkansas. One is a state legislator, another a state congressman, while the other GOP goon is a former legislator looking to inch his way back […]
Can Mitt Romney turn a losing summer and so far lackluster fall around in a single debate performance? It’s a premise that’s been purposely peddled in punditry in an effort to build suspense for the first of three debates between the Republican presidential challenger and President Barack Obama. It makes more sense to promote the […]
Hey Mitt: You don’t know who I am nor would you give a single damn if you did given my place in our current tax bracket. But you and I both know that your campaign is about as hot in these streets as a cassette copy of “Please, Hammer, Don’t Hurt ‘Em.” So in light […]
No matter what poll you look at – local or national, non partisan or politically leaning – there’s an obvious pattern: In the polls, there’s an upswing for President Barack Obama and a downward spiral for his challenger, former-Governor Mitt Romney. With only a couple weeks left in the election, instead of joining the chorus […]
Could gay marriage keep Black people from the polls? It was the subject of a segment this week on NPR, largely fueled by an article published by the Associated Press, entitled, “Some Black Christians Waver Over Vote.” To save you time, the pieces basically argue that since clergymen of color can’t decide if they dislike […]
