Teens Are Being Trapped in Abusive 'Drug Rehab Centers'
The methods used at these facilities are arguably traceable to an anti-drug cult in the 60s called the Church of Synanon. Their method was to abduct addicts and then “rehabilitate” them through beatings and humiliation. Former patients have been airing...
Mitt Romney Needs to Go on an Apology Tour
Weeks later, the failed candidate should finally account for his wrongdoings, instead of continuing to blame his loss on “gifts” Obama supposedly gave minorities. Isn’t it time for Romney to do something truly drastic and redemptive? I think so. The...
David Frum Is (Still Just) a Canadian Conservative
David Frum appeared on the American mainstream political scene in 2000 as a speech writer for George W. Bush. He helped pen the expression “axis of evil,” and in 2004 co-wrote "An End to Evil" with fellow neocon Richard Perle. Today, Frum has re...
On the Road with Obama and Romney - Reelection
It's a little underwhelming, a re-election. We wake up and, give or take a few Senate seats, we're exactly where we were. Wednesday was a sunny day in Cincinnati, though I slept through most of it. I went out in the afternoon to buy the paper and pack...
Florida's Election Hangover
By about 11:15 PM, the election was over and Floridians were still voting. On the bright side, that meant Florida didn't even have a chance to fuck this one up. In fact, many Floridians missed the election results because they were still in line...

Voting in Florida: Not a Total Shit Show... Yet
It's ludicrous that Election Day isn't a national holiday. A friend who was called for jury duty was told by a clerk that voting is not a legitimate excuse to miss it. You can only perform one civic duty at a time, so vote today and risk contempt of...
The End of America as We Knew It
We’re finally done. No more debates, no more speeches, no more ads, no more polls. Now you—you Americans—will vote (or not) and this long, national nightmare will finally be over.
Paul Ryan: What Stupid People Think a Smart Guy Sounds Like
His popularity among voters isn't much of a surprise. Ryan's good-looking and articulate. Most importantly, he can convince people there's intellectual gravitas behind his words. It’s sort of like the Ross Perot phenomenon, a man for whom 20 million...
Don’t Kill Yourself if Your Candidate Loses
According to some people, every election is the most important election of all time, every battle is the final battle, the United States of America is always coming to an end. Don't give into this madness.
Every Politician Lies—but Not as Much as Mitt Romney
Romney's easy comfort with making chameleon-like changes in response to short-term political opportunities makes him almost as dangerous as a true-believing right-wing nut.
'Four More Beers for Obama,' Sings Africa
Remember that time those Malawian guys emailed us a video pleading with the British public to make Nirvana Christmas number one? Well, they are back, and this time they've grown a political conscience.
