- Igor Yopsvoyomatsky, Editor of paranoiaisfact.com, Answers readers' questions.Dear Igor, My grandpa is in the garage cleaning out his combination orgone box/fallout shelter. He says that George W. Bush is planning to use his last gasp of presidential breath to get even with all the liberals, workers, minorities, secularists, environmentalists, journalists, economists, scientists, ...

- As the curtain mercifully falls on the Most Important Election of Your Lifetime, the nation breathes a collective sigh of relief. Or do they? Sure, there were enough Byzantine plot twists and darkly rich comic characters to exhaust Dostoyevsky’s older smarter brother. And I imagine more than a few of you are woke up spent, limp, barely able to grasp your coffee cup and raise it to quivering ...

- In early 2007, fishermen patrolled the Antarctic's Ross Sea looking for Patagonian toothfish (aka Chilean Sea Bass and please stop buying and eating it if you are so inclined; not enough is known about how it survives and it is being illegally caught and sold by less-than-honorable people in many cases...) when they noted an odd tug on one line. When they hauled it in, they found a colossal squid ...

- Well, the deed is done and once again the country has re-invented itself by electing an African-American, Barack Obama, as President of the United States. One could only wish MLK was alive to see it.Here in Vietnam, many of the expats were pulling for McCain simply because he has a history of helping US - VN trade relations, but at the same time, the idea of a Obama becoming president filled a ...

- Well, this is it. Election Day...We will now see how many of the campaign promises made by both candidates resonate with the general public and how much of the mud slung by the attack machine stuck to the intended target.For me, this election is 1000 times better than the last two, mostly because the choices are better. For all intents and purposes, McCain is a lot better than Bush and has the ...

- ``In an era when left-handedness was considered the devil's work and lefties were often forced to use their right hand, Leonardo was an unrepentant southpaw. It has been suggested that this "difference" was an element of his genius, since his detachment allowed him to see beyond the ordinary. He even wrote backwards, and his writings are easily deciphered only with a mirror.'' _ Museum of ...

- Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside...That famous verse from Emerson, Lake & Palmer's song "Karn Evil 9" could be a anthem for this year's election, but then again, so could "Won't get Fooled Again" by The Who.But the sad thing is, that a good percentage of Americans WILL "get fooled again" ...

- I don’t know which is scarier: The American landscape the next President of the United States is destined to inherit, the people who will make that decision (us), or the fact that these two guys seem to want it so bad. Or do they? Did you ever think of that? Maybe John McCain is deliberately trying to throw the election. “Let me get this straight. Ten trillion in debt? Losing two wars? Tampa ...

- If Obama wins, I will cry. His candidacy has been an astonishment, as the possibility that a black man could win the presidency has grown to odds-on likelihood. While his victory would not mark the end of racism, it would at least confirm in the most dramatic of ways that bigotry can be overcome. Obama’s emergence is all the more stunning for occurring when so much else— the global ...
