Creep Of The Week: Donald Trump

Donald Trump made history at the Republican National Convention by daring to utter a string of five letters: LGBTQ. More specifically, he said, "Only weeks ago, in Orlando, Florida, 49 wonderful Americans were savagely murdered by an Islamic [...]

Creep Of The Week: Mike Pence

Was anyone really surprised that Donald Trump picked Indiana Governor Mike Pence as his co-captain for the most terrifying boat ride since the Titanic? Pence may be best known for signing Indiana's "just say no to gays" law, the intention of which [...]

Creep Of The Week: Raul Labrador

With the massacre of men and women at a gay club in Orlando barely behind us, one could perhaps be forgiven for thinking that this horrific hate crime had inspired some soul searching for members of the United States House. You know, "We are [...]

Creep of the Week: James Dobson

I went to go see Finding Dory with my son and I feel compelled to report that there is no transgender stingray featured in the film. I repeat: there is no trans-ray featured in the film. At least not that I saw. I mean, one scene features hundreds [...]

Creep of the Week: Donald Trump

So much anti-LGBT dumb fuckery has emerged after the shooting of 102 people, of which 49 were killed, by a man with a military-style assault weapon at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando. There has also been much love and support for LGBT people and [...]

Creep Of The Week: Omar Mateen

No one on an FBI watch list should be able to easily buy a gun. No one should be allowed to buy a gun designed for the military to kill as many people as possible as quickly as possible. If you want to hold an AR-15 or something like it, join the [...]

Creep of the Week: Tim Wildmon

Happy Pride Month, everybody! Or as right-wingers like to call it, End Times. As you may know, President Obama has once again issued an official proclamation that June is Pride Month and that for 30 glorious days all flags shall be rainbow, all [...]

Creep of the Week: Louie Gohmert

A few months ago I watched "The Martian" starring Matt Damon as an astronaut who crash lands on Mars and is left for dead. Only he isn't dead, everybody just thinks he is. I was exhausted and couldn't stay awake, but I'm pretty sure that he has to [...]

Creep of the Week: Glenn Beck

OK, I'm not trying to alarm anyone, but I think Glenn Beck is planning on molesting kids at Hersheypark (you know, the amusement park where everything is made of chocolate, I'm pretty sure). I know that sounds alarmist. But hear me out. On May 20, [...]

Creep of the Week: Steve King

If you've never listened to Caffeinated Thoughts Radio, let me get you up to speed. It sounds a lot like one of those drive time morning shows with the chattering hosts who think they are hilarious and laugh at themselves a lot. Except Caffeinated [...]

Creep of the Week: Michael Brown

My 6-year-old son has two moms. For Mothers' Day (and, yes, that's where we put the apostrophe) he gave both my wife (a.k.a. "Mommy") and I cards with "coupons" for things like "let the dogs owt" and "serv dinr." At school he drew both of our [...]

Creep of the Week: Ted Cruz's Face

Ted Cruz is creepy. That's not only a widely held opinion, it's scientific fact. George Washington University neurology professor Dr. Richard E. Cytowic wrote in Psychology Today, "It's hard to look at Ted Cruz's face." It's kind of like that old [...]
