Republicans announce their base – Tim Johnson of Tupelo, Miss.

By William K. Wolfrum on Wed, 04/28/2010 - 5:51pm | Politics, Humor & Satire

Over the past few decades, the Republican brand has become a somewhat-confused morass of ideologies and beliefs, with the party losing large blocks of voters on several different issues. Recently, the decision by the State of Arizona to treat all Mexican and Latin people as potential criminals has crippled the Republican National Committee with the Mexican community, for instance.

In A Center-Left Country, we should troll Republicans with our concern

By William K. Wolfrum on Wed, 04/28/2010 - 1:11pm | Politics, Humor & Satire, Media

In America, the weekends are for many things – spending time with family, enjoying outdoor activities and sports and just relaxing. It’s also the determined time for Republicans to Concern Troll the brains out of their Democratic opposition.

For those on the outs. let me allow Wise Geek to give an example of concern trolling:

Gizmodo vs. Goldman Sachs

If there’s one thing we can say for sure, it’s this: Those Gizmodo guys will get a much worse punishment for having that iPhone than anyone at Goldman Sachs will get for bilking their investors.

Be like a Brazilian – Dance and have more sex

By William K. Wolfrum on Tue, 04/27/2010 - 10:12am | Health

Brazil is a land of paradoxes. One one side of the coin, the nation will fight resolutely for its citizens with HIV/AIDS. On the other, a judge will announce that gay men have no business playing soccer.

But recently, Brazilian Health Minister Jose Temporao gave some advice to uptight Brazilians that Americans should heed – dance more, and have sex more.

Getting the Tea Party to fight against Wall Street Reform – GOP’s funniest trick?

By William K. Wolfrum on Mon, 04/26/2010 - 2:10pm | Politics, Humor & Satire

As Washington discusses financial reform laws regarding Wall Street – laws that are concerning numbers much, much larger than Health Care Reform – the Tea Partiers are curiously quiet as their Republican Overlords decide what next to do with them.

They obviously have a problem. No likes Wall Street right now and everyone but serving U.S. Republicans believe something should be done about it.

A while back, I proposed that the U.S. should trade Texas to Mexico for Cancun and golfer Lorena Ochoa. It seemed like a fair deal in theory, until Ochoa abruptly retired from golf, rendering the deal un-doable.
