The Crazies

The Crazies

I think by simply changing the name of the movie ‘The Crazies’ to ‘The Crazies and the Unnecessarily Fearful,’ it becomes a movie about the Tea Party.


Don’t Let Illionis Politics Get LOST!

Don't Let Illionis Politics Get LOST!

Round these parts, we’re LOST fans. Sad thing is, we’re also fans of Illinois politics. Anyone who’s been to our shows, or seen the videos knows we owe much of our career to the Kings and Queens of this state for an endless supply of bits to make fun of.
But what is one [...]


C’Mon, If you’re gonna steal, at least steal the joke.

C'Mon, If you're gonna steal, at least steal the joke.

Big surprise, there’s political upheaval in Illinois. Everyone smells the blood in the water and wants to get in on the game. So some dude sees our brilliant parody of Judy Baar, and figures:
Hey! My grandkids bought me a shiny new iMac for Christmas, and I got this thing called iMovie! [...]


New York Times To Sociopaths: Give It Another Shot

New York Times To Sociopaths: Give It Another Shot

OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Have you looked at the New York Times’ fucking Op-Ed section today?! I know I’ve been writing about that dumping ground a lot lately, but the editors published an article today that–if America does escalate the conflict with Iran–will go down in history as one of the most fact-free, [...]


Don’t know what the Pentagon/Rendon Controversy is? Neither did we, until we asked John.

Don't know what the Pentagon/Rendon Controversy is? Neither did we, until we asked John.

Ok. Check that. We heard of it, we just didn’t care that much. But John does. Here he is, in his own words.
Hi, everyone!  I’m John, your newest addition to this webpage jobber.  I’ve known the Schad crew for years, so when Stephe asked me to start submitting to this site, I figured, “Well, [...]


A Boring Healthcare Debate

A Boring Healthcare Debate

People sure have been upset about the idea of healthcare reform. Conservative protestors showed up at Town Hall debates all over the country, yelling and shoving. We don’t know why they were yelling. In fact, they don’t know why either. I suspect they were irritated because they just missed a Wal-Mart 2-for-1 special on 2-liter [...]


You Know What’s Awesome?

Newt Gingrich. Bob Livingston. John Ensign. Larry Craig. And Mark Sanford. He’s awesome now too.
Colbert has laid it out best.


Congratulations, Senator Smalley! (D-MN)


Colin Powell on education and blah blah blah…

Colin Powell on education and blah blah blah...

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell has been speaking out recently on education, particularly of the drop out rate in the nation’s 50 largest school systems.
“Finishing high school is absolutely basic to being a success at any place in our society. We can’t afford this,” Powell said.
In May, Powell also spoke on Face the Nation [...]


The New Future of the GOP, Issue 4

The New Future of the GOP, Issue 4

This Hamburger. This is my nominee for the Future of the GOP in this week’s edition. It’s perfect. It not going to say anything uninformed or embarrassing. It currently receives more coverage than most Republicans, and by making it the face of the party you remove one of Obama’s greatest Media Tools, as there were hundreds of [...]

The New Future of the GOP, Issue 3

Meghan McCain. Ok this one is no bit. If I had coordinated with Stephen, this could have been a double feature of New Future of the GOP and Hot or Not. She’s got a more relaxed outlook than most of her old-schooler compatriots in the GOP, and sans nasty disposition.

I don’t think this video is on the list of “99 Things on the Internet You Should Have Seen by Now” – but it should be.


This Just In.

This Just In.

And by “Just” I mean, “I finally got around to posting this after all my meetings this morning.”
From CNN.COM
CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) – Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was impeached and removed from office earlier this year, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to federal corruption charges.
A federal grand jury indicted him this month on 16 felony [...]


Dear IOC,

Dear IOC,

Hey gang! Glad you could make it today! They say Thursday is the beginning of the weekend – and Chicago does NOT disappoint!
I’m not sure who met you at the airport, but I sure hope it was O’Hare. Although Chicago has 2 airports, many believe that is 1 too few, and if [...]

For not winning the nomination. Although if you watch Fox for the next week, it will feel as if he had.


Douche of the Day: An Unnamed Senator

I’ve realized over the last eight years how much of society is held together by nobody being that big a dick.  I thought The American Government and The United Nations could both run no matter what interfered, that it was just structured that well.
But now I realize that they largely run because nobody’s that big a dick. [...]


Going Green

Going Green

I know, I know, the earth needs us now, more than ever…  But, I’m still making the “green movement” my douche of the day.  I can’t help but fast forward 15 years when we’ll look back at this time as “those few years where everyone got all excited about saving the environment”.  It’s going to [...]
