I’m on vacation for a few weeks. I will try to post a few stories while I’m away — they will appear after this post (I made it sticky so it will stay at the top). While I’m gone, please visit the many fine and funny websites listed under LINKS (down and to the right […]
After all the crap that the Republicans have thrown at Obama, he is still a class act to them. At a speech in New Orleans, he thanks Gov. Bobby Jindal and the crowd boos, and he defends Jindal for working hard and doing a good job: In a different speech, he does comment about some […]
© Chip Bok The bill coming out of the Senate Finance committee mandates everyone to have health insurance, and even has teeth — a fine if you fail to have insurance. But no provisions to control costs, so now the health insurance companies will be able to charge whatever they want (like they do now), […]
“People still upset that Barack Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize. And today the head of the Nobel Prize Committee defended the decision to give Obama this year’s peace prize, saying that Obama’s already accomplished quite a bit. When asked for an example, the committee chairman said, ‘Come on, he won the freaking Nobel Peace […]
© David Horsey Horsey’s comic captures the irony of Congress’ efforts at health care reform. They keep arguing over nit-picky issues. Wouldn’t it be much simpler, cheaper, more effective, and save more lives to just extend Medicare to everyone?
“Hey, President Barack Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize. How about that? Meanwhile, right now at an Arizona senior citizens center, John McCain is screaming, ‘Bingo!’” – David Letterman “Congratulations to President Barack Obama. Won the Nobel Peace Prize. Very exciting. Hang on now. Don’t get too excited. He hasn’t actually collected it yet. Let’s […]
The current situation where some states allow gay marriage, and some states (vigorously) don’t is causing some interesting problems. Take the case of two men who were legally married in Massachusetts, but then moved to Texas, and now they have decided to split up. The only wrinkle is that Texas won’t allow them to divorce. […]
After trying to blame Obama for the current economic mess (which happened even before Obama was elected), now that the economy is showing signs of recovery, Fox News host Neal Cavuto is trying to give credit for the recovery to Bush. Maybe Fox News is just an arm of the Republican Party. Don’t they know […]
© Steve Breen Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine became the first and only Republican in Congress to actually vote for Health Insurance Reform, although it was a vote to move the bill out of committee, not the vote of the full Senate. Even though Snowe has not said that she would vote yes on the […]
At the Supreme Court today, Justice Scalia was either playing straight man to give the ACLU lawyer the laugh line, or else he is just showing why people call him the most conservative justice on a very conservative court. The case involves a large cross that was erected on public land as a war memorial. […]

“Congratulations to Barack Obama — he has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. Apparently, the Nobel committee wanted to recognize the president’s fine work in bringing peace to a black professor and a white cop through the strategic use of beer. ” – Jay Leno “President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The committee […]
Last month, we reported on how Newt Gingrich’s organization, American Solutions for Winning the Future, had named Allison Vivas, president of a porn superstore, a 2009 Entrepreneur of the Year and invited her to a private dinner “in recognition of the risks you take to create jobs and stimulate the economy”. But they must not […]
