“A new Gallup poll shows that Mitt Romney now has a 7 point lead on President Obama. That’s right, Romney leads by 7 points among people who still answer landline calls from a blocked number.” – Seth Meyers “Gallup had Romney ahead today by 7 points nationally. Big Bird was depressed, he was just pecking […]
The Des Moines Register had a phone call with Barack Obama about 14 hours after his debate with Mitt Romney, in order to help them decide who to endorse for the presidency. They liked the frank and revealing conversation they had with the president so much that — even though this conversation was off-the-record — […]
I know the season of prevarication is going on longer that most people can stand, but if you want a straight-talking rant, Helen and Margaret are on a roll. They’ve had six delicious posts this month. The first one started out like this: Well Margaret, once again I am going to say what the media […]
I’m sure by now everyone has heard about Mitt Romney saying that our Navy has fewer ships than any time since 1917, and Barack Obama’s quick retort that we also have fewer horses and bayonets (not to mention more aircraft carriers and submarines). But did you know that Romney’s advisor on Navy issues has personally […]

Before the debate tonight, Senator John Kerry, who played the role of Mitt Romney in debate practice with Barack Obama, discussed how he had changed his strategy after the first debate, saying “I was chosen from binders of senators and I learned my job well enough that when I went home my dog was growling […]
One of my heroes, Roger Ebert, has written a must-read rant in his online journal. It is short, so I’ll repeat it in its entirety, but you should visit his site to read the comments. A depression has descended upon me. I look at the blank screen, and those are the words that come into […]
Republican Senstor Lindsey Graham said today the Obama administration’s handling of security for the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, where four Americans were killed is a “case study in failure” of the current American foreign policy. On Fox News, Graham said “This is Exhibit A of a failing national security policy. This is failed presidential […]
PolitiFact is widely acknowledged as non-partisan, and to many people even a bit conservative. Even so, it should come as a surprise to nobody that their truthfulness ratings for the presidential candidates are pretty dramatically skewed: That’s right, the Republicans lead in “Pants on Fire” lies, False, and Mostly False, while the Democrats lead in […]
This billboard has suddenly appeared in black, Latino, and university areas in the battleground states of Wisconsin and Ohio: It is a blatant attempt to suppress the vote among groups that tend to vote Democratic.
