Dial 1-800-Douchebag: On Feb. 19, ‘Maryanne’ called Bill O’Reilly’s nationally syndicated radio show and shared her words of wisdom: ‘Michelle Obama is an angry woman.’ What makes Maryanne so sure? ‘Well, I have a friend who had knowledge of her and said to me months ago, ‘This is a very angry,’ her word was ‘militant,’ woman.’
‘It’s not fair at this point for you to say, ‘My friend said X and Y,’ because we just don’t know,’ O’Reilly answered.

Sure, why not? But what else was going on around them that made it feasible?’ The connection between mixed-race couples and communists is about as sound as the correlation between Apollo and aliens, WMDs and Iraqis or Schiffern and sense.
Who let the dogs out? Douchebags! Douchebags! Douchebags!: ‘If we can’t be the voice of the people anymore, let us be the voice of animals,’ said small-town Texas ex-mayor Grace Saenz-Lopez. Last July, Saenz-Lopez’s next-door neighbors asked the animal-loving ex-mayor to watch their sick Shih Tzu. A little later, she told the Gutierrezes that their precious Puddles had kicked the bucket. Then she took the purloined pooch
