David Brooks, also known here by the not so affectionate moniker of “Chunky Bobo”, has written a column so absurd that you just have to shake your head in stupefaction that this man still has a job-much less a respected position in American journalism. Like McMegan-it appears that Chunky Bobo

Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela passed away at the age of 95 yesterday. Clearly, the world has lost a great man. He was great not just because he struggled against apartheid -but when the tables finally turned; he did not give in to the instincts to take vengeance on his oppressors-but to seek

I'm liking Pope Francis more and more each day. He is doing what Pope Palpatine did not, and for that matter what Saint John Paul II seemed unable to do either when he was Pope. Namely highlighting the societal trends that at odds with church teachings-and using the bully pulpit

Well I sure did not see that coming: I was not expecting an Argentinian pope-and it strikes me as an interesting way to for the church to once again tell American Catholics to STFU. “Pick a pope from America? Just not your America!” Oh, and while this new Pope Francis

Well, it’s March and that means, its that oh so special time of the year when we get to celebrate the history that women want us to know about, while white washing the details they would rather just not see printed in the paper. But I ‘ll get to that later on

Mitt Romney seems to be having trouble adjusting to life as a worthless piece of shit an also-ran. First, here’s Willard, reminding us again that he only lost because he wouldn’t give the Poors all the nice things, like the things he gave all of us here in Massachusetts, when
