Texas conservatives want to secede

Texas secession: Texans unhappy with President Obama’s reelection are petitioning the federal government to secede from the United States of America The campaign for Texas to secede from the union has collected roughly 90,000 signatures so far, well more than the 25,000 required for a response from the Obama administration as part of the Obama administration’s We the People program. The average person who’s signed the petition is an extreme right-wing conservative who wants to live in a country that’s pro-business and Christian, hostile towards homosexuals and immigrants, with low federal income taxes and no provisions for mandatory health insurance. That sounds a lot like another place with big open spaces and lots of oil…

CIA head Petraeus resigns over affair

General David Petraeus has resigned as CIA director after the FBI discovered that he had had an extramarital affair with his biographer Paula Broadwell. The timing of Petraeus’s resignation has fueled talk of a conspiracy among conservative critics of the Obama administration, as it comes after the presidential election and before Petraeus was scheduled to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee on the administration’s handling of the terrorist attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Broadwell, 40, spent months with Petraeus, 60, in Afghanistan doing research for the biography All In: The Education of General David Petraeus, which she co-wrote with Vernon Loeb, a Washington Post editor. Petraeus, a highly decorated four-star general and…

Yes to marijuana and same-sex marriage!!!!

Marijuana legalizing, same-sex marriage, and gay Senators!? Looks like there are some big changes on the horizon for the U.S. For the first time in the history of the U.S. voters had the option to approve same-sex marriage at the ballot box. Gay rights advocates were able to add Maine, Maryland and Minnesota to the short list of same-sex marriage approved states. Wisconsin also contributed to the monumental leap forward by electing Democrat Tammy Baldwin as the state’s first female senator and first openly gay person elected to the chamber. Many individuals believe that victories such as these, demonstrate a shift in the public opinion. Colorado and Washington state also made history by legalizing marijuana….

Obama wins re-election! Defeats Romney

Obama wins re-election! After a closely fought race with his Republican challenger Mitt Romney, Barack Obama has won a second term, securing an electoral and popular vote victory. The race had been described as a nail biter. But was the final result in any doubt? New York Times blogger Nate Silver forecast with confidence that Obama would win. Irish bookmaker Paddy Power decided to payout early on bets backing Obama. Key to success: states such as Florida, Virginia and Ohio. But with those states going blue, the path to victory was cut off for Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan. Obama’s win was not as convincing as his 2008 election. And the popular vote…

Obama and Romney in the 2012 election

Today is the final day for President Barack Obama and Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, to win crucial swing states for the 2012 presidential election. The two are virtually tied in the presidential race. Just hours before election day, it’s nearly impossible to predict which candidate will win the 2012 presidential election. Gasp! Could there be a tie in the 2012 election?! Well, probably not. In order for there to be a tie, Obama and Romney would have to get 269/269 split in electoral college votes. If this were to happen, we could end up with a Romney/Biden bipartisan partnership. Although this is possible, it probably will not happen. Both politicians are focusing all of their…

CNN retracts story on Women’s hormones and voting

Too slow CNN! We caught your story titled, “Do hormones drive women’s votes?” The cable broadcaster retracted the story, but not before bloggers were able to feast their eyes and minds on this epic fail. The original post was taken down shortly after it was published, because the story “did not meet the editorial standards of CNN.” Too bad the information was really quite entertaining. An “unpublished study” out of the University of Texas, San Antonio was the basis of the article.  According to the study they referenced, when women are ovulating they are more likely to lean towards the liberal vote. Also, women at their most fertile time of the month, are probably not…

Donald Trump’s Obama announcement (parody)

If President Barack Obama openly shares his college and passport records, Donald Trump will donate $5 million dollars to any charity of the President’s choice according to his “game-changing” tweets. Donald Trump’s big Twitter announcement was basically a Dr. Evil-esque threat to the President. YAWN! It doesn’t seem that anyone was impressed with the billionaire’s silly games. The video he put out was so crazy, we just couldn’t help ourselves. Here is the official transcript as released by Trump: Official – STATEMENT FROM DONALD J. TRUMP New York, October 24, 2012 – President Obama is the least transparent President in the history of this country. Sadly, we know very little about a large portion of…
