You Are What You Eat

This site reported last week on yet another example of RAI — Republican Attendance Inflation — where a commissioned count of the attendees at Glenn Beck’s White Civil Rights Rally pegged the number at 87,000, but Glenn Beck himself declared the number to be 300,000 to 500,000 people (naturally, Michele Bachmann wins the “most inflated […]

Talk to the Hand

© Ed Stein I love reading Ed Stein’s comics on his website, because he usually includes extra information. Here’s what he included for this one: It’s not even a question that the national economic policies of the last few decades have favored the wealthy at the expense of the middle class.

Deficit Reduction? How About Cutting Imperialism?

I’m not sure why Bill Maher was focusing solely on the space program for the first 90 seconds, but the rest of his rant is great: I love these quotes: The problem with the tea party movement … is that they want money for nothing and chicks for free. They want a deregulated free market […]
