You can’t have it both ways

© Tom Toles So which is it conservatives? Do you want Obama to stop the oil spill and clean up after it, or do you really want the federal government to stay out of it? You can’t have it both ways.

Another Hole to Plug

© Brian Fairrington During Obama’s press conference on the Gulf oil catastrophe, he remarked that his daughter Malia had asked him “Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?” But apparently that remark unleashed another gusher. Glenn Beck went on the attack, making fun of her for the remark, questioning her education, and even bringing race […]

If Obama Holds a Press Conference, and Fox Doesn’t Cover It, It Didn’t Happen!

The Fox Nation website claims that Obama hasn’t held a press conference since July 2009, and that he is hiding from the media. The same claim was made by Newsmax. But Media Matters points out that Obama has held two full press conferences this year, one on February 9 and another on April 13, where […]

Bush – the Gold Standard for Screw-ups

This entire video is great, but it really gets interesting around the 4:50 mark, when Jon Stewart points out the stunning irony of conservative pundits comparing Obama to Bush; for example, claiming that the nomination of Elena Kagan is “Obama’s Harriet Miers”, the oil spill is “Obama’s Katrina”, health care is “Obama’s Iraq”, and on […]

But that’s politics. It doesn’t bother me. Beside I happen to know that my approval […]

Due Process of Lawlessness

The Obama administration has authorized the CIA to kill a US citizen. We aren’t talking about a soldier in a war (or even anywhere near a battlefield), and there will be no trial or any due process at all. In other words, our government claims the right to murder anyone it pleases. It is judge, […]

Political Spin We Can Believe In

Throwing Them a Bone?

© Lisa Benson Is Obama’s decision to allow increased offshore drilling really a political gambit to bait the right? Or is it a measured, science-based decision taking into account our energy needs and balancing them with our environmental needs?

Let’s make a deal!

© Tom Toles Obama took single payer off the table, so we could get a public option. But we didn’t get a public option. Now we have offshore drilling and nuclear energy. Are we going to get a climate bill and an energy bill?

Late Night Political Humor

“Former Gov. Sarah Palin has been very busy. She’s been campaigning for select Republicans, including John McCain, who’s in the middle of a tough Senate race in Arizona. How does he introduce her? ‘And now, the young woman who cost me the presidency, Sarah Palin!”‘ – Jimmy Kimmel “You know who is out campaigning now […]

Ugly Kid Syndrome

Tea Party Freedom

© Matt Davies Davies titled this comic “Cage Fighter”, I suppose because they are fighting for the right to be screwed over by insurance companies. It is one of life’s little ironies that members of the tea party will likely be helped more than average people by health care reform.
