Could this explain some of Michele Bachmann’s bizarre behavior? According to three people who have worked closely with Bachmann, the presidential candidate suffers from “debilitating” migraine headaches on a weekly basis that can “incapacitate” her for days. Not only that, but allegedly she is constantly medicated to try to prevent them. The migraines are so […]

© Wolf Grulkey The Republicans think that the worse the economy, the better they will do in the next election. After all, it worked in the 2010 election. How long before we wise up? Nineteen different polls since the start of 2011 show that Americans support raising taxes to reduce the deficit, often by a […]
Stephen Colbert advises Michele Bachmann to never apologize for her gaffes, but to double down:
© Jim Morin Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that Blago didn’t do anything that most politicians do all the time, he was just a bit more blatant about it. It seems his real transgression was that he didn’t hide the fact that he was just a money grubber for reelection funds […]

You may think of it as one of the pitfalls of being a moderate, but they call them “pitfalls” for a reason. © Tom Toles Toles has a funny observation to go along with this comic: Funny!

What isn’t funny is that 33 states — all with Republican controlled legislatures — have passed laws that make it more difficult to vote. How can you tell […]
© Henry Payne If it weren’t so pitiful and cowardly, it would be funny. Especially watching Mitt Romney trying to explain how Obama’s health care reform is completely different from his own health care reform, which mainly boils down to “mine isn’t called Obamacare“. Does it scare anyone else that Michelle Bachmann came off during […]
