Ted Nugent once was a great rock musician. Now he’s just astonishingly crazy and mean, inflammatory for the sake of cruelty and outrage. This fits his role as one of the new mega-mouthpieces of the crazy and mean Republican Party. If one takes Nugent’s writings and regular public utterances even half seriously, he is by […]

And his loathing of auto-workers is probably one of a few reasons the person once known as the Motor […]

He has a hate on for Steven Chu and wants the agency destroyed. Nugent, who never pays attention to anything, makes the assumption that federal agencies never report to the US […]

Crazy mean Ted Nugent was at Northern Michigan University recently. To talk to students. It’s amusing on many levels, since Ted’s a gold-plated fool and schools are theoretically supposed to be devoted to broadening one’s horizons, rather than narrowing them to a Nugent-y crabbishness. On the other hand, a Nugent lecture could be considered mind-expanding […]
