The Hypocrisy of Cain Playing The Race Card

Quick, somebody ask Bill Clinton, John Edwards, Anthony Weiner and Arnold Schwarzenegger if the Media’s obsession with political sex scandals are based on race. A third fourth fifth woman has now stepped forward to accuse Cain of sexual misconduct back when he ran the “National Restaurant Association” in the 1990′s (fun-fact: the case against Cain [...]

The TRUE Legacy of 9/11 is the failure of Conservatism.

I must have mulled over a dozen different ways to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of 9/11 here on Mugsy’s Rap Sheet.

Don’t Be Surprised If Democrats Don’t Lose Big

Two wars that weren’t paid for. Huge tax cuts for the rich that weren’t paid for. TARP bailout that wasn’t paid for. Medicare Part-D that wasn’t paid for. Then they point and say, “Look at this huge deficit Obama created!” For months now, the “fact” that Democrats “will lose big” this election has been repeated [...]

The “Proud to be an American” Test

How any times have you heard some lunatic on national television say something that made you roll your eyes and mutter out loud to no one in particular, “Makes you proud to be an American”? We all have at one time or another. And I had several such moments listening to all the feigned Right-wing [...]
