So much stupid (part 2). The Kingmakers, Global Warming denied and the key is not Keystone
Continuing from Monday, there was plenty of stupidity to report last week. A man that had no business even being in Afghanistan was overextended to the point tragedy. And there was the stupidity of a Media that inflicts John McCain upon us for yet one more Sunday show appearance to critique the man he lost to. Do […]

So much stupid, so little time (part 1). Afghanistan, the Kingmakers & John McCain (again)

Breaking news, insights and Wisdom with our own touch of humor.) I had great difficulty deciding on just one topic to focus on in this week. A week that saw a U.S. soldier go […]

Mugsy’s predictions for 2012: “The apocalypse never comes when you want it” Edition (UPDATED)
Where to start? Every year since 2006 I’ve dug deep into my toy-chest, pulled out the turban from my “Ancient Secrets Magic Kit”, rubbed my lucky penny for good luck, and concocted my annual “Predictions for the coming year”. And by the end of that year, I always expect to find I did really poorly… but my […]

The List II: Santorum, Huntsman, and The Rest.
This week raps up our review of the remaining “also-rans” in the GOP primary… the candidates that have never polled out of the single digits and never will: former Senator Rick “Don’t Google My Name” Santorum of PA (Oops! Shortly after posting this op/ed, Santorum became the last “Not-Romney” standing to finally break out of the single-digits into the Top Tier […]

The List II: Michele Bachmann
Everybody knows someone like Michele Bachmann. The “Tall Tale” teller, the “Everyone’s out to get you” paranoid, or the Bible-thumper that throws a screaming hissy-fit if you dare challenge their beliefs. But how many of us know all-three rolled into one? Long-time readers know I can’t refer to Michele Bachmann without the obligatory “BSC*” suffix after […]

The List II: Newt Gingrich
This weeks “List” tackles former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. I’ve made no secret of my distaste for the former Speaker over the years. In fact, among all the GOP candidates, I don’t think I have a more visceral dislike of anyone more than “Professor” Newt Gingrich. Even BSC* Michele Bachmann and Rick “Don’t Google My Name” Santorum, who […]

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. Back on the first anniversary, I created a “Tribute video” that was mostly news clips from that day showing both towers being hit and smoking wreckage at the Pentagon & Shanksville. But I decided we’ve all […]

Special Edition: A Tale of Two Fake Interviews: Walker vs. Schiller
Last month, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker got “punked” by a Buffalo, NY radio morning-show host pretending to be billionaire Conservative activist “David Koch”. And yesterday, Conservative slam-journalist and convicted felon James O’Keefe posted a hidden-camera video interview with National Public Radio’s Senior VP Ron Schiller and Senior Director of Giving Betsy Liley. The video, shot last […]

Arizona shooting tells us nothing… and everything
(Note: Apologies to subscribers that received a notification of a three year old post on the 2008 election. Notification was due to an error on my part after referencing it below. Sorry. – Mugsy) The shooting of 19 20 people during a public appearance of Arizona Congresswoman Rep. Gabrielle Giffords by a mentally unbalanced […]

Tea Party nominees are Evangelical nuts with no economic solutions
The Tea Party appears to be scoring some major victories in the Republican Primaries this year, challenging & defeating a series of Republican incumbents across the country… not via mass popular appeal, but thanks to heavy Teanut turnout matched with anemic GOP turnout on Primary Day in races that attracted on average fewer than 19% […]

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 […]

Someone at PBS Playing with Graphics – Were DNC stars flipped on purpose?
Way back in March of last year, I wrote about the fact that someone appears to have deliberately flipped the stars on the RNC’s elephant logo upside down: The upside-down star is symbolic of the Satanic Pentagram: Why this was done is anyone’s guess. But it wasn’t always this way: George Bush Sr’s 1988 GOP […]
