Politics, pop culture, the Green Bay Packers and comic books. That's why I'm here. That, and for the spam.

Anybody complaining about Obama’s “umbrella-gate” right now is either a bigot or ignorant, or both.
So knock it off, already. You’re embarrassing yourself.
Hey, you know how the house continues to try to vote down Obamacare? Over and over again like they’ve a memory disease?
It’s time for the Democrats to do that with Gun Control. Every day. Another vote for background checks. Just do it. Every. F**king. Day.
Every day, make the Jeff Flakes and Rob Portmans and Kelly Ayottes have to stand up and justify their position. Again and again and again.
Let them stand up every day and declare their “A” rating with the NRA is more important than a kid living to see another grade. Let them see pictures of dead children, or come up with more crap excuses to avoid more meetings with grieving parents.
Daily. Let’s see how they like it.
Get off your ass, Harry Reid. You said you voted “No” to bring the bill back up. Well… do it. Today. Tomorrow. Over and over again,.
Share if you agree… post it on your senator’s page - if they’re for gun reform or against it. Get the word out. It’s time to start making some miserable people in the Senate miserable. Daily.
Starting today.

Last month’s devastating blast in West, Tex., did little to shake local skepticism of government regulations, and recent efforts to push for more oversight have faced strong resistance.
DC Police Chief (“Gasp! A female,” screams the tea party) lets “Open Carry March” idiots like Adam Kokesh know if they are stupid enough to march into DC with loaded firearms, they’re going to meet the law.
My favorite part is when the Chief laughs at the internet loon behind it.
“If you come in to break the law, we’re going to take action.”
Now I want to buy bullets and guns. FOR COPS.
I’ll throw it out there now, although I’m reticent to do it.
I believe the last day of this Supreme Court is June 25th.
Box-shaped lump of venom Antonin Scalia isn’t going anywhere, nor will the other conservative members of the supreme court.
Left leaning members have said it’s “unseemly” for judges to resign simply because of who the President was… yet they do.
Thurgood Marshall retired giving us the silent and morally challenged Clarence Thomas (basically, his Tea Party lobbyist wife ruling through him). He regretted it. Would he have made it to Clinton? Who knows. We’d be a better country if he had.
Which brings us to Ruth Bader Ginsburg at 80.
I hope she lives to 150. I hope a Democrat wins in 2016 in such a powerful and sweeping manner that this is a moot point.
But I am unwilling to take that chance and for the sake of America, she should consider being equally unwilling.
Unconstitutional laws are being passed at the state level. They will work their way up to the court.
She should retire, and allow Obama to appoint a like-minded justice. And at that point, let the chips fall where they may.

You know, I’ve been thinking about this “Armed march on Washington” thing. Obviously, it’s a sad attempt at publicity by an Alex Jones wanna-be which is, by the way, working.
And I thought, wow: What a dangerous place Washington D.C. will be that day.
And then I thought, wow: Do I not want to be in the middle of that.
And then I thought, wow: Where will the Senators who voted against background checks be on July 4th?
My guess? Waving a flag some place far away from Washington, eating hot dogs and kissing babies… nowhere near the potential shooting gallery that will be our nation’s capitol.
It sounds like a pretty scary place to be. Which is why every one of the “no” voting Senators should be forced to stand in the middle of it. Right between the police or military or anyone else who will OF COURSE have to protect people… and the gun-loving Americans who are there for their “Armed Non-Violent Protest.”
All those guns. All that emotion.
Mingle with your buddies and their various awesome forms of weaponry! Pat a few shoulders. Shake a few hands. Jostle a few arms! Hell, just sneak up behind somebody and scream “I’M WITH THE GOVERNMENT!!” at the top of your lungs. Get in there, guys.
Guns everywhere! Hell, if you have one, bring your own. It’s what you voted for and it’s what you’re fighting for. Go in safe. Leave safe. But be there and feel every terrifying minute:
From the second the march starts, through their walks around the capitol, to the moments when they sling their guns around because they’re uncomfortable, to lunch when some of them might choose to throw a few back, to the later hours when they’re tired, hot, cranky and armed.
And there should be no additional protection, no secret service, no kevlar vests. I mean, why would they need that? Be the same helpless sacks of meat the rest of us are when we’re around weapons like that.
Test the theory you don’t need to know anything about a gun owner to know it’s safe to be around that person with a gun.
I wonder if those senators would bring their families? Their kids? Their parents? Hey, It’s Democracy in action, after all - why wouldn’t they be proud of their role in it?
I mean, if this is nothing but a bunch of good guys with guns walking around with their guns, what’s to fear? They’ll be fine. They won’t even flinch when they hear a fire-cracker go off, or somebody pops opens a Coors Light.
On July 4th, a hoard of gun-toting Americans might be storming washington to make a point. I won’t be there. I doubt you will either. In fact, chances are the thousands of people who say they’re coming won’t be there either… they’ll be there “in spirit.”
And by “spirit,” I mean… the relative safety of their own homes.
I truly hope the day passes without incident and not a single person is harmed. If that happens, I will happily post on July 5th that my fears were unfounded.
But the 46 senators who voted “No” on background checks - including NRA bro-mancer Harry Reid who killed filibuster reform - should be there.
Right in the middle of all those people and all those guns.
Standing their horrible ground on their horrible, horrible vote.
My guess? They will not.

P.S. Feel free to post this on the wall of every senator who voted ‘No” and every person who confirmed for the event. Tweet it directly to them. Like-minded people should connect!
I’ll listen to arguments re:video games if you stop making guns that can branded w/”My Little Pony.” Otherwise, STFU.

There’s a special place in hell for @NRA tools like Wayne LaPierre, who is willing to step on the Boston Dead for his agenda.
If you don’t want people to “tread on you” maybe you should consider not being such a dick.
How do you get around the military part of the sequester? Go back to war.
What has John McCain been pushing for since the sequester? Exempting the military.
What is John McCain doing now? Pushing for war with Syria.
If John McCain was any more transparent, he’d be a floating ghost in one of the Paranormal Activity movies.
This is how you will be remembered, McCain: An actor with a pretty good resume that picked some really crappy movies before he left the stage.
So let me get this straight:
Congress can fix flight delays, but the cuts for head start and cancer patients remain intact? The 11% cut in unemployment insurance will still kick in?
And as a nation we’re okay with this?
We are a garbage generation.
