“Dubya” Joins Brother Jeb on South Carolina Campaign Trail

Posted by | Feb 12, 2016 | |

Jeb Bush can only hope it will help, but George W. Bush will be joining his brother to stump in South Carolina on Monday. The Republican presidential candidate needs a victory there to keep his struggling campaign alive. Considering how divisive his younger bother’s presidency was, it may be a bit of a Hail Mary, but Jeb seems pumped about it. “He’s going to campaign for me in South Carolina, I’m excited about that. The strategy is to not abandon who I am because I’m proud to be a Bush.” The former president has already been busy appearing in television and...

Stephen Colbert delivered a “feast” of one-liners as he broke down where each candidate in the race for the White House stands, post-New Hampshire Primary. The host of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” explained why the two top candidates, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, are just “a couple of bad boys from the wrong side of the polls.” You won’t leave hungry for humor as the comedian serves up 11 different sandwiches during the segment, playing off MSNBC‘s Chris Hayes’ on-air goof when he called Sanders Bernie ‘Sandwiches.” Bon...

Holy Hollywood! Pope Francis To Star in Feature Film

After releasing a pop-rock album last year, Pope Francis is now taking his talents to the big screen. His Holiness will star as himself in an Italian-made family movie called “Beyond the Sun.” He is the first pontiff to appear in a feature film. The film is being produced by Ambi Pictures and is a family adventure based on the Gospels. Ambi co-founders Andrea Iervolino and Lady Monika Bacardi were inspired to make it after the pope called on filmmakers to cater their efforts to children when they think about how Jesus’ message should be communicated. Bacardi says they...

The Latest Repug Nightmare: Ted Cruz

The Latest Repug Nightmare: Ted Cruz

Posted by | Feb 3, 2016 | , |

Donald Trump’s loss in the Iowa caucus gave the Republican establishment something to celebrate, but the GOP is hardly cheering about Ted Cruz. The Texas senator, known for his anti-establishment firebrand and desire to “carpet bomb” terrorists into oblivion, has little appeal to anyone except the extreme right.
