A few of you might remember a revelation that came to light rather quietly a few weeks ago and has since been more or less ignored by the press. It seems a certain leader of the free world and his top aides approved something that they had for years been denying any knowledge of. In [...]

You know how we Americans like to be telling African countries what to do all the time? Like: “Use this un-tested birth control and stop having black babies!” or “Globalize your financial markets despite rampant corruption in your financial industry.” How about “Be thankful that Shell is pillaging your land; at least now [...]

Since today’s Pennsylvania primary is the next step in the fake election that’s technically already decided but continues onwards because everyone in this country likes to think they’re watching a real fight, it seems oddly appropriate that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton took their messages directly to the people most inclined towards that kind of [...]
