I had to think twice about posting this article, because my posting this is itself ironic (isn’t it my job to be making fun of other people’s irony and hypocrisy?). But here goes anyway. It has long bothered me that the mainstream media often gives a platform to people who really don’t deserve one, because […]
“Nation, last night, once again, the political stage was set on fire by a brilliant orator, a man whose charisma even I have to admit can only be rivaled by a giant Brad Pitt made out of puppies. I’m speaking of, of course, of Bobby Jindal.” -Stephen Colbert “”Now, it’s clear the Republican party has […]
Quotes from the annual conservative CPAC conference in Washington: From Newt Gingrich: The great irony of where we are today is that we had a Bush-Obama big-spending program that was bipartisan in its nature. … We got big spending under Bush, now we’ve got big spending under Obama. Saul Anuzis (who campaigned for the chairmanship of […]
Fox News tries to play up a minor gaffe by Biden but fails miserably. There’s even an extra special bonus from them — their own gaffe. Jon Stewart reports:
Andrew Tobias has a brilliant article about taxes. You should read the whole thing, but if you’re too lazy, here’s just the start of it: Be honest: Is the reason you’re not investing in stocks these days (a) the prospect of having to pay 15% capital gains tax? Or (b) the fear of further losses? […]

Obama focused on the three most critical things he wants Americans to understand: first, that the economy is in a lot of trouble; second, that the road to recovery won’t be easy; and third, that it’s all President […]
As if the Republican Party weren’t in enough trouble, now the party is starting to punish representatives who don’t vote the way the party wants them to. The National Republican party just unveiled its new fundraising program for the 2010 elections that will hold members accountable for their votes if they expect any reelection campaign […]
Several sites have mentioned that when Bobby Jindal gave the Republican rebuttal to Obama’s Congressional address last night, he sounded like the clueless hillbilly Kenneth the Page from 30 Rock. I might be showing my age, but to me he sounded like Mister Rogers addressing young children (except more patronizing). What do you think? Also […]
“It is our first show back since the Obama administration. Or, as Rush Limbaugh calls it, ‘End Times.’” -Bill Maher “I’ve got to tell you people, I’m a little nervous tonight. We started 16 years ago with ‘Politically Incorrect’ in 1993, moved over here to HBO with ‘Real Time’ in 2003. In all those years, […]
Speaking of gloating, I just want to point out that two weeks ago, when most progressives were complaining bitterly about Obama trying to be all bipartisan with the Republicans, I posted an article pointing out that Obama was cleverly painting the obstructionist Republicans into a corner. The pundits and bloggers now seem to have figured out this […]
