The Monkey and I once again dive into the murky world of the MSNBC to Digital Tier on Comcast Conspiracy. Verdict? Here’s an excerpt: “In short, the Monkey and I now agree that MSNBC is totally in on this deal. I think that they wagered a bet, a fully researched wager, no doubt, supported by a team of economists, ad sales execs, and Nielsen numbercrunchers…”

Bush is one of the most unpopular Presidents of all time. With the country reeling in financial turmoil, involved in two untidy wars, and his Administration mired in scandal, incompetence, and [...]

The Monkey and I made some pretty bold predictions this year that turned out to be true:
1) that Barack Obama would win the Presidency in a landslide, and
2) in so doing, he would rewrite the red state/blue state electoral map.
With the confidence boost at our heels that only presaging political events accurately can provide, we [...]
