Janeane Garafalo Thinks Teapartyers are Racists
Posted by: | CommentsWow. If she could please explain the link between protesting tax-and-spend policies and racism, it might help me understand exactly what on earth she is talking about.

Mickey Rourke Should Have Won
Posted by: | CommentsSean Penn won the Oscar for Best Actor and made a passionate but predictable political speech. I was really hoping to see Mickey Rourke win for the pure entertainment value.
