The Horses' Asses of the Apocalypse
It took a valiant effort, but Joe Biden managed to use practically every cliché in the book to try and explain away the horror of Haitian refugees getting whipped and prodded like cattle by the Horsemen of the Homeland Apocalypse (aka, the Border Patrol.) After assuring a reporter that he takes "full responsibility" for the cruel treatment of the migrants, Biden quickly cast the blame upon everyone and anyone but himself. He even seemed to blame the actual victims when he garbled: "To see people treated like they did, horses barely running them over and people being strapped. ... read more

The Collision of the Three Worlds: Europe, the Americas, and Africa
The collision of the three worlds—Europe, the Americas, and Africa—that took place between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries is responsible for the creation of the USA and Canada in North America and several nations in South America.

What should we do about the debt ceiling, and why should you...
*What should we do about the debt ceiling, and why should you care?* OMG! The DEBT CEILING FIGHT is back. Many of you may be asking yourself: what the hell is the debt ceiling? In brief, it’s the limit on how much the government is allowed to borrow to pay for what it already owes on bills Congress has already agreed on and enacted — not for legislation that’s currently being debated. If it’s not raised, the government can’t pay its bills (just as if you or I didn’t pay our credit card bill). That would result in a default, which would mean chaos.
