Sean Penn is an Idiot

Ken Brosky — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 14:28:39 GMT

Sure, Sean Penn's a great actor, but when it comes to other issues, he's about as dense as granite (that means "very" if Sean Penn happens to be reading this). He's going around the country as we speak talking about the wonders of...(read more)

The Island of Garbage

Ken Brosky — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 01:48:30 GMT

Bush's War

Ken Brosky — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 17:39:46 GMT

Patriotism is not blindly following leaders. Patriotism means finding the truth and always questioning, no matter what. What's happening in Iraq belongs to the Bush administration. No presidential administration will ever come close to this one, but...(read more)

McCain's MLK "mistake"

Ken Brosky — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 03:10:00 GMT

John McCain's vote against Martin Luther King Day was no mistake, and you need to understand this because race plays a BIG role in the modern conservative movement. It plays a big role because the modern conservatives first began in the late 50's...(read more)

Ken Brosky — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 22:52:51 GMT

I think from now on I'm just going to dedicate my Sunday post to correcting the flaws in columnist Patrick Mcilheran's editorials. Why? Because there are so many, of course! That's flaws, not editorials, for those of you slightly confused...(read more)

Ken Brosky — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 20:40:56 GMT

There's not better way to celebrate the 5-year anniversary of the illegal Iraq Occupation than with a birthday cake of truth. Yes, fine citizens, it's time for you to come to grips with the painful truth that often coincides with this particular...(read more)

Barack Obama

Ken Brosky — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 18:26:00 GMT

So far, the most outrageous "scandal" to hit the Obama campaign has been his relationship with a man by the name of Tony Rezko, and the Clinton campaign has gone out of its way to make the most of this. There's only one problem: Obama has...(read more)

Ken Brosky — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 19:36:23 GMT

If you've been to a Starbucks in the past year, you've probably noticed that each cup has a quote from a celebrity or quasi-celebrity (or just an interesting person). Why Starbucks asked Newt Gingrich to contribute to this program is beyond me...(read more)

Ken Brosky — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 16:32:29 GMT

What's the connection between the two, you ask? Well, for starters, they're both extremely incompetent. Make no mistake about it, Osama bin Laden is an egomaniac with relatively low intelligence when it comes to terrorism (he was NOT the mastermind...(read more)
