Battle for the White House
FREE BRISTOL PALIN!
Monday, September 8th, 2008Good afternoon, everyone. We here at American Heresy have been faced with a moment of opportunity that will be taking us away from our more general activities here at the Newsblog. For the time being, we are focusing our efforts on organizing FreeBristolPalin.com.
We’d like to say a few words about our involvement there. First, we’re [...]
My God! A national candidate will TALK to the PRESS!
Monday, September 8th, 2008I just finished watching Amy Goodman talking about her arrest at the RNC when I continued through the feeds and found much! breathless! self-congratulation! that ABC’s Charlie Gibson had made himself tolerable enough to the media-disdaining McCain campaign to be an acceptable interviewer, in their eyes.

Long known for their unique ability to program VCRs, teenagers are also weirdly adept at hacking into government networks, and appear to be the only real threat posed to the infrastructure of capitalism.
So when an Icelandic [...]
Has Lou Dobbs always been this obnoxious?
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007Because I thought his job was to read off a teleprompter, not to bomb the American public with willful misunderstanding.

Fundies drink own kool-aid, consider third party
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007Really? You mean some of you people really do think abortion is the only issue that counts when deciding on the most influential office on the planet?
Looks like the fundagelicals trotted out Focus on the Family’s James Dobson (who we don’t link to as a matter of policy) to focus some woman-hating on the likes [...]
