Some really ironic t-shirt designs: © Jeremy Kalgreen p.s. Obama is left-handed.
If you can believe Karl Rove, he and Bush had a friendly competition to see who could read more books each year. According to Rove, Bush read 95 books in 2006, 51 in 2007, and 40 in 2008. That’s an average of more than one book a week over 3 years. Apparently, Obama is not […]
American politics has become a cynical blame game. The left-wing blames Obama for not doing enough, the right-wing blames Obama for everything (which is their coward’s strategy for getting votes, since it is easy to blame the party in power, and doesn’t require to to have any, um, ideas).

Apparently, Republicans are afraid of a drawn-out fight over their most prominent African-American leader during the build-up to the November elections. Instead, they are going to try to marginalize him. After all, his term as chairman is […]
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), currently touring Afghanistan, when asked about Michael Steele’s recent comments about this being “Obama’s War”: This is not President Obama’s war. This is America’s war. … I want to separate myself from that statement. And the good news is Michael Steele is backtracking so fast, he’s going to be in Kabul […]
© Jim Morin See also Jon Stewart weighing in on Republican protests against blaming Bush. Not to mention the fact that the top presidential scholars have just rated Bush the absolute worst president of the modern era, and the fifth worst president of all time.
© Tom Tomorrow Tom says that this strip was inspired by two columns by Glenn Greenwald: this and this. Also, Jon Stewart did a similar piece. And don’t forget this. However, Rachel Maddow has a contrary opinion:

[This is another story from Fred Wickham that I’m reposting. See his site for more.] On January 20th, 2008, a truckload of Whup-Ass was delivered to the White House. The pallets sat unbroken for nearly eighteen months until today, when President Obama had Rahm Emmanuel bring a box into the oval office. “How do we […]
