Governor Blago no more

By Trevor Timm | Leave a Comment

First, I thought he was an idiot. Then, I thought he was insane. Now, I’m convinced he’s an evil genius. Watch Blago poison his potential jury pool with an impassioned and bizarre performance on steps of his house where he makes his case to the public that he was impeached solely for standing up for [...]

The Obama Domino Effect

By Trevor Timm | Leave a Comment

Obama’s first favorability ratings came out this week, and just like during the transition, they were extraordinarily high. This, of course, is an enormous advantage for Obama when it comes to getting bills through Congress-the legislators with a 20% approval rating are going to have to bend to demands from the man with a 70% [...]

The gift that keeps on giving

By Trevor Timm | 4 Comments

Sarah Palin is hoping to get an $11 million dollar book advance. And certainly there are still a lot of Palin supporters, but I hope book publishers realize–before shelling out the cash–that none of them read.
Meanwhile….
$180,000 worth of Palin’s clothes are being stashed in trash bags at the RNC office in Washington.
Seems like she’s having [...]

Inauguration Thoughts

By Trevor Timm | 1 Comment

In the most high profile case of irony of all-time, President Barack Obama and Chief Justice John Roberts, two former Presidents of the Harvard Law Review, the highest honor in law school, managed to mutually bungle the legal process of the swearing-in.

There was, first of all, a false start from Mr. Obama, who started to [...]

The Entertaining Evildoer

By Trevor Timm | 1 Comment

This may sound weird–but hear me out–I was relieved to see Osama bin Laden reappear again on the news today. After a long absence, he released a brief audio tape challenging our soon-to- be President Barack Obama to catch him (although he didn’t stoop to calling him a “house negro” like al-Qaeda honcho #2 [...]

Eli the Terrible

By Trevor Timm | 1 Comment

Last postseason, Eli Manning famously made it through the entire postseason–which he played entirely on the road–while only throwing one interception. This, of course, discounts the botched pick by Asante Samuel that would have given the Patriots the Super Bowl victory, but it was nonetheless an impressive feat for someone who, up until that point, [...]
