A Quote Everyone Can Agree On

A dead-on quote from Matt Taibbi that I think everyone, regardless to where they fall on the political spectrum, can agree: What we Americans go through to pick a president is not only crazy and unnecessary but genuinely abusive. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent in a craven, cynical effort to stir up hatred […]

Debate Practice

Maureen Dowd has a hilarious column pretending to be post-mortem debate practice for Obama on what he should have said in the first round. The whole column is worth reading, but here’s an excerpt: Opponent: I want to take that $716 billion you’ve cut and put it back into Medicare. Obama: The $716 billion I’ve […]

Are Republicans Really Fighting Voter Fraud? No, They Are Committing It.

The Republican Party has been waging a loud and destructive war against voter fraud for years. They defunded ACORN, and more recently Republicans have passed voter ID laws that will make it more difficult for 10% of the US population to vote. All in the name of fighting voter fraud.

Fox Shoots the Messenger — Themselves

In the face of overwhelming polling data that shows Obama with strong leads in both the popular vote and in the electoral college, Fox News naturally goes on the offensive, claiming that all those polls that show Obama ahead are insidious propaganda from the obviously liberal media. The only problem? Fox News’ own polls show […]

How do you Satirize Satire?

© Ruben Bolling Cartoonist Ruben Bolling has been drawing Hollingsworth Hound for nine years, but since Romney’s 47% video was released people have been telling him that Mitt Romney had become his fictional character. Hollingsworth was meant to represent “a privileged plutocrat comically clueless about the struggles of ordinary Americans, let alone the poor.” Bolling […]
