(did I say billions? I meant trillions) Dubya threw money at the banksters. Obama threw even more money at the banksters. We were told we “had to do it” or our economy would collapse. And that all that money we threw at the banks would trickle down to us. Hah! We fell for that one […]
Michael Tomasky has an interesting article about the biography of Mitt Romney, and the ironic fact that the life of the man who might end up our next president is almost completely a liability — his childhood, his career, his faith, even his mostly undistinguished stint as governor. It seems like the only thing that […]
“President Obama just played his 100th round of golf since taking office. You could tell it was Obama, because he finished about 14 trillion over par.” – Jimmy Fallon “They say President Obama played golf a hundred times in his first administration, a four-year period. So he played on Father’s Day. Donald Trump – always […]
© David Horsey I love it when cartoonists include commentary with their comics. I was sad when Ed Stein stopped drawing editorial cartoons with commentary, but now it looks like David Horsey is taking up the slack. Horsey has an interesting take on Obama’s thrust on immigration, and how the Republicans are being a bit […]
“Regular guy Mitt Romney is on a bus tour…he’s on a bus through the Midwest called ‘Believe in America’ because ‘Mormon Thunder’ was taken.” – Bill Maher “Do you know the difference between a Mitt Romney bus and Mitt Romney car? The bus has a greyhound on the side.” – Bill Maher “Republicans Yesterday launched […]
For a while, I’ve been noticing the irony of Republicans at the state level taking credit for improving economic conditions, while at the same time GOP candidates at the federal level condemning Obama for the bad economy. Apparently I’m not the only one who noticed this. Mitt Romney’s campaign has asked Republican Governor Rick Scott […]
Today on Fox News, Karl Rove complained about Obama’s use of executive privilege over a set of Department of Justice internal documents, calling it an “overreach” and saying “I’m not certain that that’s what the Founders thought about when they talked about executive privilege.” Rove conveniently forgot that the very first time Bush invoked executive […]
© Keef Knight As someone recently pointed out, at some point how much money you have becomes meaningless, except to compare yourself to other people (mainly other people richer than you are). Or to give yourself bragging rights. UPDATE: What has “trickle-down economics” given us? Corporate profits just hit an all-time high, while at the […]
“Happy birthday to Donald Trump, who is 66 years old today. The first thing he did this morning – he demanded to see his own birth certificate.” – David Letterman “Happy birthday to Donald Trump, who turned 66 years old today. He didn’t want a big party so he just invited a few close friends […]
[This is from one of our regular readers. It is a follow-up from an earlier post.] From: The Office of Mike Lee, Chocowinity, NC To: Mr. Mitt Romney, Campaign Trail 2012 Dear Mitt, I have not heard from you yet but I’m sure you are very busy on the campaign trail. I imagine just tying […]
© Derf This much is true — the US has pulled funding from the Pakistani version of Sesame Street on the basis of an anonymous call to their anti-corruption hotline. The family-run Rafi Peer Theater Workshop, which competed against more than 300 applicants in 2010 for the US funded contract to run the show, says […]
Facts are stubborn things, but that hasn’t stopped some people from ignoring things like evolution and (especially) climate change. But here’s a new twist. If you don’t like the facts, you can just propose a law that changes them! In North Carolina, the state’s Coastal Resources Commission has calculated that the sea levels along the […]
“The White House softball team played the pro-marijuana lobbyists’ team and lost 25-3. Still no word yet on which side President Obama played for.” – Jay Leno “President Obama is coming to Chicago this weekend. Obama is introducing his new economic plan as part of the Just For Laughs Festival.” – Conan O’Brien “TV icon […]
© Brian McFadden And with the amount of money being thrown at this election, it is just going to get worse. Sigh.
“Pundits are saying that President Obama is starting to lose support among his own party. To give you an idea of how bad it’s gotten, today Jimmy Carter compared him to Jimmy Carter.” – Jay Leno “Betty White met with President Obama at the White House. President Obama invited Betty personally because she’s great with […]
