Posted on July 10, 2008 by Ricky Shambles

Black Mark for McCain

Posted on June 24, 2008 by Ricky Shambles

Posted on June 6, 2008 by Doug Marquardt

Barack Obama, the Antichrist

Posted on June 6, 2008 by Ricky Shambles

I’m not joking. Welcome to the nutter cavalcade. We have a dedicated blog, a Snopes post (false!), and even Glenn Beck, resident douchebag, is seriously asking the question. Unmentioned at all sources: how the book of Revelation, source of Antichrist … Continue reading →

Posted on June 6, 2008 by Kate Chase

Not Exactly Hugs Between Hillary And Barack, But That’s OK

Posted on June 5, 2008 by Kate Chase
