Obama has Only One Choice for Cabinet: Wu – Tang!

Nov 20th, 2008 | By Freeman Frohlich | Category: Political Pinions

In more civil and banal times, I could get behind the President choosing a cabinet to promote stability and continuity, or for simple political reasons.  This is no time for Carter-ian prudence, though.  America voted for change.  America gave Obama the mandate to bring the motherfuckin’ ruckus.

The voters, or maybe the fates themselves, have already decided how to … [continue]



Hope Won, Now Comes the Hard Part

Nov 12th, 2008 | By Leslie Fox | Category: Political Pinions

The election is well over and done with.  Gracious was the loser in defeat; magnanimous the winner in victory.  As ever, the wheel of history turns and so we look toward a new day, a new administration, while behind us, possibly stuck in a ditch, is history’s by-blow, the man who would be president had a … [continue]

Washington DC- With a severe economic crisis and two on going wars, President-elect Barack Obama will, from the first day of his administration, face challenges as great as any incoming president has since the end of the second world war.  In light of this, Senator Obama has already begun to move towards establishing his administration.

Bradley Effect Broken

Nov 5th, 2008 | By Pates Baroni | Category: Political Pinions

Dubuque, Iowa. Millions of white voters have been disenfranchised due to a faulty “Bradley Effect.” All across America, the cries of injustice can be heard. Here in a small diner famous for it’s lemon meringue pie, I spoke to Dubuque’s shocked residents.

VP Debate Inspires Short Rant by Cranky Blogger: Changes Nothing

Oct 3rd, 2008 | By Leslie Fox | Category: Political Pinions

Irony isn’t dead, but its golden age has passed.  Now we enter days of meta.  Popping around the major news networks last night and the major newspapers this morning I found not a single story or dialog about what the candidates said.  Nobody was interested in truth or relevance of the debate, instead all efforts were directed … [continue]



PARTY! PARTY! PARTY!

Sep 6th, 2008 | By Leslie Fox | Category: Political Pinions

Now that the major party candidates have been vetted, selected, serenaded, and airbrushed into plastic perfection it’s time to get down to the business of actually voting for someone. Poling data shows that the average Receiving Me? reader is attentive, intelligent, ideologically focused, and my mother. People of such discriminating taste aren’t going to settle for what’s offered just … [continue]



At The RNC

Sep 3rd, 2008 | By Leslie Fox | Category: Political Pinions

ST. PAUL, MN – It was to be a triumphant night for presidential hopeful John McCain. Balloons were stuffed into net bags and dragged to the rafters in preparation for their release on to what would no doubt be an ecstatic sea of Republican delegates.ƒ Smoke machines and laser rigs were at the ready, and the … [continue]

Will The Real J-Biddle Please Stand Up?

Aug 26th, 2008 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: Political Pinions

BREAKING - Senator Joseph Biden (D-DE) has answered criticism that he is both out of touch with Barack Obama’s message of “change” and long past his prime with a sudden and dramatic makeover. Biden is calling his new look “radical garb,” which he describes as “a swingin’ combination of raw urban wear and sterile conformity.” He claims to … [continue]



Overlooked V.P. Candidates

Aug 24th, 2008 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: Political Pinions

Although Barack Obama has named Senator Joseph Biden as his vice presidential running mate, many deserving, talented individuals were overlooked in the process. The following is a list of some of the most viciously slighted, ranked in order from “please make this happen” to “Earthtopia”. Perhaps Senator John McCain will take note.

Dave Chapelle. What he lacks in reliability, … [continue]
