Jon Stewart is definitely on a roll: I think Newt Gingrich has actually invented a new propaganda technique. I guess the Republicans were using the “Big Lie” too much, so now we have the “Humongous Hypocrisy” technique. Seriously, is there anything Gingrich stands for that is not hypocritical? Serial philanderer Gingrich is now the family […]
© Daryl Cagle I just couldn’t resist posting (and “stealing”) this ironic comic. But Cagle does have a good point — there are lots of people who depend on licensing intellectual property for their livelihood and they should be protected. The question is what is the best way to do that, and balance their rights […]
“Mitt Romney is coming under fire because even though he is a multimillionaire, he only paid 15 percent in taxes. That’s not a tax, that’s barely a tip.” – Jay Leno “Mitt Romney is quite a guy. At one point he and his wife bought a zoo and fired all the animals.” – David Letterman […]
© Brian McFadden The real joke is probably going to be on us. At the same time the Internet was protesting SOPA and PIPA, Hollywood was already pivoting to support ACTA, the Anti-Conterfeiting Trade Agreement. The entertainment industry has the money, time, and political power to keep pushing these bills until they get what they […]
© August J Pollak I had an interesting conversation the other day with someone who is fairly conservative. We were both trying to figure out how Republicans in South Carolina could have voted for Newt Gingrich, someone who is a serial philanderer, lobbyist, Washington insider, ethically challenged, and can’t even run a presidential campaign without […]
© Matt Wuerker Despite his staggering loss in South Carolina, most pundits still expect him to win the Republican nomination. I guess the old maxim “follow the money” still applies. Thank goodness we still have Stephen Colbert pointing out the corruption funding our elections.
Yes, this really is from Rick Santorum‘s website. Come on, can anyone be this clueless? Or is it a Freudian slip?
“Mitt Romney, whose father was born in Mexico, is now talking up his Mexican heritage. Not to be outdone today, Newt Gingrich said he once cheated on one of his wives with a woman named Juanita.” – Jay Leno “And so it was that on Martin Luther King Day, Newt Gingrich shared his vision of […]
The battle between old media and new media is becoming interesting. Y Combinator, the famous firm that invests in early stage companies, has issued an RFS (Request for Startup) that they are looking to fund companies that can help (in their words) kill Hollywood: Hollywood appears to have peaked. If it were an ordinary industry […]
© Adam Zyglis In December, Congress tucked a provision into the bill extending payroll tax reductions that required Obama to make a decision within two months on the Keystone XL project — an oil pipeline from Canada all the way across the US to the Gulf of Mexico. But they weren’t actually expecting the Obama […]
“When Mitt Romney heard a story about people getting pissed on, he launched into his defense of venture capitalism.” – Bill Maher (regarding the video of American soldiers urinating on Afghan bodies) “During a campaign event on Saturday, Mitt Romney reached into his pocket and gave cash to a woman who said she was broke. […]
Now it’s the Obama Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. This is pretty silly, but who can resist:
© Drew Sheneman I can’t blame politicians and corporations for having the desire to control the internet. If they succeed in sneaking these laws past us, we have only ourselves to blame. Interestingly enough, it seems like support for SOPA and PIPA — at least prior to Wednesday — was one of the few things […]
“President Obama met with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in the Oval Office yesterday. And after they left, Obama checked the White House to make sure Sasha and Malia were still there.” – Jimmy Fallon “Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt visited the White House. There was an odd moment when they tried to adopt President […]
The mainstream media loves a good horse race, and they are sure getting one in the Republican primaries. Just a couple of days ago, Romney had won two races and was on his way to a double-digit knockout in South Carolina. But it looks like he might get Rickrolled. Today Iowa finally announced their official […]
