Ann Coulter Attacks John Edwards

"if I'm going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot."

A Letter From Paul Newman

More than the films, more than the awards - finding out that I was on Nixon's Enemies List meant that I was doing something right. I was proud to stand with Democrats against an imperial president back then. And I am proud now to stand with a new generation of Democrats against a president who poses what I believe to be the biggest internal threat to American democracy in my lifetime........here

The Iron Sheik Vs. Brian Blair

A Lowlife And A Punk

Iron Sheik expressed high praise for Brunzell owing to his athletic and high-jumping prowess, but displayed contempt for Blair, referring to him as a "lowlife" and a "punk". He gave no specific reason for his dislike of Blair, only remarking that he "didn't like his attitude". He would then express his desire to make Blair humble by suplexing him, putting him in his camel clutch submission, breaking his back, and "fuck[ing] his ass". But he did not do this in honor of God, Jesus and Vince McMahon. As of the spring of 2006 the Sheik's situation with Brian Blair remained unresolved, as indicated by another outburst about Blair at an autograph signing. At a recent convention in New York City, Sheik revealed several secrets about Blair, noting that Blair "sucks Hulk Hogan's penis"--though Sheik has shown respect towards Hogan in many interviews--as well as ripping a Photoshopped picture of him and Blair together........Wikimedia

The Vulgar Stench Of Corruption

I heard gasps in the audience. I was knocked back in my seat, aghast at the spectacle of our leaders selling us out.

"The netroots are incredibly sensitive to people who are phonies "

Howard Dean

The kingmakers will be people with powerful messages who treat people with respect, because the netroots are incredibly sensitive to people who are phonies and are just out there to manipulate. And frankly, politicians have tried it, and it hasn't worked for them. The people who are going to disappear are the people who think you can manipulate public opinion. That's why the Republicans are falling on their face right now. Because their own MO is to manipulate public opinion by rephrasing things in delicate ways and not be truthful about what's really going on. It's going to be almost impossible to make public statements that are not true and not have it eaten apart in 24 hours......more
