President Obama was on top of his game at Monday night's presidential debate. In their last primetime meeting before election day, Obama walked circles around his challenger Mitt Romney on everything from the government's progress in the war on terro…
With ample space to prance around and puff their chests out, Obama and Romney got into it last night on Strong Island, where things got hot, quick. It was like Candy Crowley was emcee'ing a rap battle or something. We're talking Libya, gun violence,
A couple days ago, I wrote a post about the recent phenomenon of liberal Facebookers inexplicably finding out they'd unknowingly 'Liked' Mitt Romney. The post got picked up by Slashdot, which brought over a small flood of readers from a broad backgro…
A typical election season comment drifted through my Facebook feed the other day: "Just got the shock of seeing how many of my friends 'like' Mitt Romney's page. Wow." I laughed, made a sarcastic remark on the post, and then read the comments that we…
The two top presidential candidates have been notably silent on one of the most urgent issues of our time, but Barack Obama and Mitt Romney weren't always so tight-lipped on climate change. Back in their 2007-2008, for instance, when both men were al…

Mitt Romney may not know a hell of a lot about energy, but he does remember that people seemed to enjoy raising their fists into the air and yelling the words 'Drill, Baby, Drill.' He'd always wished that he could be onstage at one those rallies; tho…
All presidential candidates must be chameleons, of course; big ticket elections are largely a contest to see who can best blend their egomaniacal personas in with the 'average' American zeitgeist. Mitt Romney, angling to fit in with the deeply conser…
With the narrative of the 2012 presidential race pretty much set in stone -- both President Obama and challenger Mitt Romney will ceaselessly hammer each other on the economy, and little else -- the biggest question of the summer has been who Romney
How fair is it to hold 17-year-old Mitt's actions against today's candidate? After all, the current president has admitted to both eating dog meat and doing "a little blow when [he] could afford it" in his youth. And really, is forcibly removing a pa…
On Monday night, Mitt Romney's wife, Ann, discussed a “scandal” that has been plaguing her husband’s campaign: During road trips with his family of seven in the 1980s, her husband used to habitually strap their Irish Setter, Seamus, to the car roof i…
An amusing video editing gig b-side and some YouTube success has led to a new, very timely kind of political cartoon, one that makes some sense out of the babel of the political carnival by giving politicians words that aren't exactly theirs. That's
