Parrot repeats the praises of Obama

Hillary backers, just give it up already. Obama’s more or less wrapped up the nomination, barring a revelation he enjoys grinding up the bones of children to put in his coffee every morning. And I doubt that is going to happen. Plus, he’s got a parrot that can recite his catchphrase, “Yes, [...]

Breaking news: Hillary does not have a penis

Back in early January, Clinton remarked that Vladimir Putin, as a former KGB agent, by definition, “doesn’t have a soul.” Ben Smith, on his Politico blog, notes that Putin was asked about Clinton’s comment at a press conference yesterday and wasn’t pleased. His response: “At a minimum, a head of state should have a head.”
Naturally, [...]

Theoretical Polls

In a typical election, the Super Tuesday haze fades and we are left with a Democratic front-runner and a Republican front-runner. Things are a bit different this year. With, technically, three candidates left running from each of the two parties we are beginning to see results from theoretical polls.

Super Tuesday’s Winner: The Democrats

I know that I was glued to CNN from the minute I got home from work last night until I finally called it quits around 2:30 in the morning. California numbers were pouring in; New Mexico still hasn’t been given to either of the Democratic candidates. I imagine several people reading this enjoyed similar nights.

Some Super Tuesday videos

You thought our Super Bowl coverage was suffocating, just wait until tonight! We here at NBN are well aware of how political (read: nerdy) NU’s student body is, and, to appeal to the pimply masses changing their Facebook profile pics to Barrack Obama to show they are like every other college student in [...]

Hillary: The Movie!

The conservative advocacy group Citizens United’s new documentary, Hillary: The Movie, could be coming to a theater near you! The film, which opened in Washington, D.C. on January 16, is, according to the website, “the first and last word in what the Clintons want America to forget.”
The problem? The Federal Elections Committee has put restrictions [...]

Who backs whom politically in the musical world

Apparently there was a debate last night for a little tiny thing called the presdiency. Or, more appropriately, who would represent the Democrats on the ballot. I’m not a very political person (I almost stole a Dole-Kemp sign I saw on the side of the road in 1996 becasue it looked rad, and [...]
