Over at The Daily Beast, they're having a good old time thanks to John McCain. Typical of the liberal media to turn the screws to an old war hero who got pushed aside in the name of change and… Correction, the article is about Meghan McCain's pitiful dating life after her dad (Republican Senator John McCain) lost the election. Oooo, let's pour a little salt on their wounds, because we (the liberal media elite) are a bunch of sore winners… Correction, it's a blog about Meghan McCain's pitiful dating life. Just what we need, some flaming left-wing … Read More

Have you heard the news today? According to the National Enquirer (the terribly reliable Enquirer not your daddy's lie factory, we're being led to believe), Cindy McCain was seen getting lovey with another dude.

Before we go any further, we'd like to state that we hate that the National Enquirer is now a source that we can't completely discount. Damn you, John Edwards' libido. Was that Sarah Palin affair that they alleged ever proved or disproved?

The Senator's wife has been photographed in the company of a man that has been described as a "washed up 80's … Read More

Hey, howaboutthat? A skinny kid from a broken family with a funny last name is the next President of the United States. Not only that, he has the kind of mandate and goodwill that we haven't seen since September 2001, and a former opponent that seemed sincere and ready to follow in his concession speech. Many of us haven't seen that in our lives.

But how much do we really know about Barack Obama? We know that he's from Chicago, was some kind of lawyer, and has a good-looking wife. (Sorry, I find Michelle Obama attractive.) We know … Read More

A friend of Barack Obama says the President-elect has grown closer to his wife during the 21-month campaign, according to an Us Weekly report confirmed by Obama’s sweet shout out to Michelle Obama during her husband’s post-election acceptance speech.“I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years, the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady,” he said.Aw! He shouldn’t have!Scratch that. He certainly should have! After all, Michelle did leave her $273,618 a-year bread-winning job as … Read More

Sex and politics? Although the combination may sound strange, the two controversial subjects met yesterday at the New York Museum of Sex.

The third presidential debate aired last night on every news network and also on screens inside the museum. AFP reports that, "The session of naked politics took place in a hall where dozens of TV screens only minutes earlier had been filled with quite a different kind of nudity."

Approximately 200 New York democrats piled in the building to catch the heat between Obama and McCain. The … Read More

Huffington Post has rounded up a slideshow of Grandma and Grandpa...oops, I mean,  John McCain and his wife, Cindy...showing public displays of affection.   Compared to the Obamas, who sizzle and crackle with passion, the Republican couple could use a little, um, stimulation.

Just looking at the lack of sparks between John and Cindy, suggests the would-be president's one true passion is cutting taxes.  Little pecks on the cheek here, pats on the arm there, a couple tight-lipped smiles -- the McCains are downright prudish!

But I'm not trying to suggest anything particularly snotty or nasty here … Read More

The New York Times agrees with Tango: teen marriages don't last. In fact, they're about two-and-a-half times more likely to end in divorce. According to the Times, in the 1950s the female marrying median age was 19, and nuptials in the second decade of life were so common the phrase "teen marriage" wasn't commonly used. Today the median age is 25.5.

Teen brides may be less common today because fewer teen girls are getting pregnant, however the Times points out that there's no way to know how many of the 19-year-olds … Read More

You probably heard that news that John McCain's VP nominee Sarah Palin has a seventeen-year-old daughter, Bristol, who is pregnant and plans to marry the father. In today's New York Times there's a piece with the headline, "In Political Realm "Family Problem" Emerges as Test." Swap in the word "relationship" instead of "political," and you could be describing the experience of meeting your significant other's family.

The questions in both the political and relationship realms are these: How much is someone's family a reflection of them, and should your lover's … Read More

Check it out: Huffington Post has a photo gallery and a bio of Sarah Palin, John McCain's newly anointed VP running mate. She's a former beauty queen who is currently serving her first term as governor of Alaska.

We'll learn more about Palin's marriage in a Tango feature next month, so for now we'll present some fact and speculation based on HuffPo's post.

Fact: Palin married her high school sweetheart, Todd, and the two danced together at the Alaska Governor's Inaugural Ball this past January.

Speculation: As they were dancing Palin whispered, "Honey, that's … Read More
