NPR photographer Robb Hill wondered who would be interested enough to attend the meeting where 22 senators gathered to start working on overhauling healthcare in the US. So he took four photographs of the audience, and is inviting people to identify the people in the photos. So far, the public has identified eight lobbyists (plus […]
After Fox News labelled disgraced Governor Mark Sanford as a Democrat (when he is a Republican), Intershame pointed out that this happens far too often to be an honest mistake:
Personally, I think the sex life of anyone — including elected officials — is their own damn business, but you can’t help but shake your head at the behavior of people like Governor Mark Sanford and you may even enjoy watching him squirm. After all, he preached morality to others while sinning himself. He publicly […]
“You folks following the Iranian elections? Well, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is the winner. And lots of protests. And it got to be so crazy that Iran’s supreme leader actually spoke live on television last night. And it preempted Al Jazeera’s most popular show, their number one show over there, which is ‘How I Met Your Camel.’” […]
“The Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, said this election was not rigged, the results are final, and you can protest all you want, but if you keep doing it, we’re going to start cracking heads. Now if we could only get this guy to call Norm Coleman.” – Bill Maher “Today, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali […]

In other words, if your congress critter votes against the public option (or attempts to water it down), you can easily figure […]
Is becoming the party of white supremacists the best way for the Republican Party to attract new members? Pat Buchanan seems to think so, but the result was not just dripping with irony, it was positively drowning in it. Last Saturday, Buchanan hosted a conference — optimistically entitled “Building the New Majority” — on how […]

“They’re having a lot of trouble over there in Iran. They had the presidential election. And Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — it was controversial, they were tied, and now he’s claiming that he won by a landslide. So his opposition, they’re out on the streets. And you know, when you’re out in Iran, you’re not supposed to […]
They never say Colin Powell lied. They don’t say Condi lied. In an article in Time Magazine, Donald Rumsfeld proves that not only is he incompetent and a liar (lots of people have said that Powell and Rice lied), but that he is also a self-pitying coward whose main qualification to be Secretary of Defense […]
“Have you folks been following the Iranian elections? Well how about this Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? You know, he won, he has won the election now. And people are angry, and they’re demanding a recount. And as a matter of fact, the last unofficial account actually had Al Franken ahead. They’ve gone crazy.” – David Letterman “A […]
