I keep hearing progressives complain because they say Barack Obama is not liberal enough. For example, they say he gave up on single-payer health insurance too easily (I guess he should have wasted all his political capital on single payer like the Clintons did). Or that he should have closed Guantanamo immediately. Or pushed other […]
Lewis Black has a good rant about the media coverage of the death of Whitney Houston.
Given all the screaming going on that Obama is increasing the national debt, it is enlightening to see that the independent Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget released a study today that estimates that the economic plans proposed by Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Mitt Romney would increase the debt by between $250 billion and […]
“Rick Santorum released his tax returns this week, and under withholding he wrote ‘oral sex’.” – Bill Maher “Rick Santorum’s tax returns show that last year, he paid doubled the tax rate that Mitt Romney paid. Romney is much more clever with the deductions. He writes off poor people.” – Jay Leno “Rick Santorum doesn’t […]
© Tom Toles And not just Palin; The Donald has said he would consider running if Rick Santorum gets the Republican nomination.
© Matt Bors Wow, this makes more sense than most of what Santorum actually says. Or if you want to see more silly quotes from the candidates, try this political quote generator.
© Chip Bok Maybe the Fiat company knows something that we haven’t figured out yet — that American workers are just fine, it is just American top management that sucks. But it is ironic that Clint Eastwood first got famous by starring in Italian spaghetti westerns, and now he is creating a stir by doing […]

In 2002, then Illinois state senator Barack Obama gave a stirring speech where he said these (now-famous) words: I don’t oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul […]
“President Obama’s approval rating is up to 50 percent. Only half the country dislikes him. Apparently his strategy of not being any of the Republican candidates is paying off.” – Jimmy Kimmel “Here’s how he stacks up against others. Obama is at 50 percent positive. Mitt Romney is at 42 percent positive. Ice cream is […]
© Joel Pett This is exactly how I feel every time I hear someone who wants to restrict access to birth control. Didn’t we move past this a long time ago? The same politicians who tell you that if you don’t like something a company does you have the choice to not buy things from […]
Arizona Sheriff Paul Babeu is a rising star in the Republican party, largely because of his strong stance against illegal immigrants. His first moment of fame was in 2010 when he appeared in a television ad with John McCain calling for the US government to “complete the danged fence” along the southern border. He’s also […]
“They announced the winner of the Westminster Dog Show, and tomorrow the winning dog gets to ride on the roof of Mitt Romney’s car.” – David Letterman “After disputes over its nuclear program, Iran is threatening to stop exporting oil. Which means the U.S. may have to tap into its backup reserve: Mitt Romney’s hair.” […]
The Colbert Report is off the air for a few days. News is scarce, but apparently there is a serious illness in his family, possibly Colbert’s mother. Colbert also tweeted his thanks for everyone’s thoughts and prayers. Rumors that Colbert’s show got yanked because he pissed off too many Republican power brokers are false. Nothing […]
