I’m Sorry, Right Wing Extremists

Posted by John Wellington Ennis
When I wrote my piece “What Right Wing Threat?” I might have anticipated some humorless criticism from an offended individual, outraged that I might diminish yesterday’s shooting at the Holocaust Museum by joking: “He was there to try to shoot the actual Holocaust…the Holocaust started it; this was simply self-defense.” The response I got was not [...]

What Right Wing Threat?

Posted by John Wellington Ennis
Right-wing threats in America? Hasn’t the media jumped the gun, or shark, so to speak? James W. Von Brunn wasn’t shooting at Jews at the Holocaust Museum because he was anti-Semitic. He was there to try to shoot the actual Holocaust, under the mistaken impression he could stop it still and make up for [...]

Obama’s Coup in Cairo

Posted by John Wellington Ennis
For all of the analysis, parsing, and knee-jerking from Obama’s address to the Muslim world, there was one detail that seemed to bypass the pundits. Obama acknowledged the U.S. role in the 1953 coup of Iran, when the CIA worked to overthrow a democratically-elected secular leader, Mohammad Mossadegh. This isn’t fringe conspiracy theory, this [...]

A Major Upset in Competitive Eating

Posted by John Wellington Ennis
On Saturday, Joey Chestnut became the Susan Boyle of eating. The sport of Major League Eating saw a startling upheaval as the reigning world champion eater, Joey “Jaws” Chestnut, was defeated by former long-time champion Takeru “Tsunami” Kobayashi in the Pizza Hut P’Zones Chow-down Challenge this weekend in Los Angeles. The contest was part [...]

Picking on Pelosi

Posted by John Wellington Ennis
It’s no secret that the Republican Party is struggling. Polls show party membership at a low of 21%, the crazies have scared off the credible, and the leading spokespeople are beauty pageant runner ups. The languishing magazine business is even piling it on, suggesting that morbid fascination in the wane of the GOP [...]

Do You Feel Scared???

Posted by John Wellington Ennis
House Minority Leader John Boehner, from the state of Ohio which I know so well, released a video today called “Do You Feel Safe?” to helpfully suggest why we should be scared shitless. This video is a less subtle version of John Boehner’s video.

Obama, Day 101: Everything Goes to Sh*t

Posted by John Wellington Ennis
With all of the fanfare for President Obama’s popular first 100 days, he is that much more certain to have a bad day, and soon. Here is Obama’s worst day yet per Politico 44’s daily itinerary of “POTUS” (Secret Service-style code for President!):

Torture Finally Broke Them

Posted by John Wellington Ennis
In the end, torture broke them. They could no longer hold it all back. They now realize that their denial does not add up, and their tormentors become convinced of their guilt. The Architects of Agony in the name of America are aware that their arrogant era has ended. They’ve been tortured enough by the questions [...]

Yelling “FIRE!” in an Empty Theater

Posted by John Wellington Ennis
While I would prefer to not dignify John Ziegler by writing any more about him, I would like to take the opportunity to respond to his grievances against me while addressing more pertinent issues. I do not feel the need to rebut every sweeping accusation from him, because as I have already detailed, this individual projects [...]

Does the First Amendment Protect the Right to Be a Dumbass?

Posted by John Wellington Ennis
Upon seeing John Ziegler in handcuffs, I was struck by the sheer suaveness of a simpleton who discovered that getting in the face of security with a camera will lead them to apprehend you. It was similar to how he looked on a reality dating show explaining his ideal relationship to a clearly perturbed [...]
