Erik Guzman January 29th, 2010

Obama NationOne in ten Americans are out of work, businesses are closing left and right, and after a year in office President Obama still hasn't ushered in world peace. If you ask this American, change hasn't come fast enough.

If you were too busy looking for a job to watch, I posted the audio highlights of the speech below. You'll be happy to hear that President Obama has things under control. Listen to find out what the next decade holds for our way of life.

The Lost Nixon Tapes

Matthew June 26th, 2009

Lets get it on.  You know what Im talking about.  Come on baby!When it comes to presidential controversy, Clinton is the Barry Bonds to Nixon's Hank Aaron. Sure, Clinton may have bested Nixon on paper, but in our hearts, no one could ever replace Tricky Dick. Truly, there will never be another Nixon (to kick around).

That's why we're so jazzed that the National Archives has just released a whole new batch of Nixon recordings. And if you thought you knew the man before, brother, take a listen. You don't know the half of it.

The PETA Files

Erik Guzman August 11th, 2008

As we reported this weekend, the recent horrific cannibalistic attack on a Greyhound bus in Canada has prompted a newspaper ad response from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

What, you may ask, does the tragic beheading of an innocent 22-year-old man have to do with animal rights?

Celebate

Matthew July 22nd, 2008

The good news: teens are having less pre-marital sex. The bad news: it's probably just because they're too busy taking stolen pain meds, illegally downloading music, and obsessively texting each other.
