A None Too Subtle Shift
[ by Michael T] [Rantings & Ravings] October 02, 2007Readers of this website may have noticed a none too subtle shift in what we’ve written about in the past year. As we have watched in horror at the ineffectiveness of Democrats to both get out their message and effectively prove countermeasure to the Bush Administration, we have come to the conclusion that our government has gone past incompetence straight to criminal negligence. As such, OutrageNation has begun to take a new direction, one where we are less than sympathetic to hapless Democrats even though at least 2 of us are registered in that party.

A Simple Solution to the Tyranny of Spam
[ by Michael T] [Rantings & Ravings] December 07, 2006I remember when spamming was a big topic of discussion. The government even weighed in, in its patently useless way. These days we don’t hear anything about how to solve it. Meanwhile, we slog through piles of it every day. So I have decided to reignite the debate. Simply put, we need the death penalty for spammers.

November 03, 2008On Saturday Night Live, John McCain gave the performance of his life in the opening segment spoofing Obma’s informerical - McCain’s took place on QVC.

October 26, 2008One of the central challenges of the next president will be to restore a sense of justice to America’s justice system, if ever there was one. Our puritanical culture is so obsessed with control and punishment that we spend as much on prisons as college and we can’t even manage to prioritize the arrest of rapists.

The Democratic Future [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
October 09, 2008The more I think about this election, the more I think we are either right on the money or dead wrong. Can America vote for Republicans yet again?
