It is over.” – Jay Leno “Of course, the storm is the big story, it is unbelievable. It actually paralyzed Washington more than Joe Lieberman. In fact, there was so much white powder in D.C., people […]

For several reasons, I found this post on National Review to be completely ironic and hilarious: Congratulations to Captain Picard! [Mike Potemra] Palace sources say Patrick Stewart is about to be knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.

Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) said on Sunday: What the American people ought to pray is that somebody can’t make the vote tonight. That’s what they ought to pray. Coburn was hoping that a Democrat would not show up for the vote on health care reform and the vote would fail. But he forgot to specify […]

And really, what better Christmas present could Obama give the country than the gift of not having to talk about healthcare anymore?” – Jimmy Fallon “President Obama says that Congress is very close to getting a new health care plan, but […]

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) takes Republicans to task for lying to the American people: When it turns out there are no death panels, when there is no bureaucrat between you and your doctor, when the ways your health care changes seem like a good deal to you, and a pretty smart idea, when the American […]

“Santa Claus, as you know, has a plan to fly around the world to deliver toys to all the good little boys and girls. Unfortunately, it’s being blocked right now by Joe Lieberman.” – Jimmy Kimmel “Clearly, Lieberman has gone from having Joe-mentum to having Joe-mentia.” – Stephen Colbert “The other night they had that […]
