It isn’t that Raj Patel’s life hasn’t been interesting. Naomi Klein called his first book “dazzling” and his latest book is a fascinating analysis of our recent financial meltdown. And appearing on The Colbert Report to promote his new book is ironic all by itself, but that’s when things got really weird. Apparently, a little-known […]
In the wake of the passing of health care reform, bricks were thrown through windows, a gas line was cut, protesters spat on a Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, chanted “nigger” at Congressman John Lewis, and called Congressman Barney Frank a “faggot”. Faxes have been sent containing a drawing of a noose, and Congressman Russ Carnahan even […]
© Tom Toles I’ve been looking for a comic about the simmering violence underlying the GOP response to health care reform, but until now none of them had just the right amount of irony. This one is perfect. The Republican party is now controlled by their extremists, and it will only get worse. The main […]
“Defense Secretary Robert Gates has ordered the armed forces to initiate changes to their policy of discharging homosexuals. They’ve changed from the ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy, to the ‘If you think he’s gay, look away’ policy.” – Jimmy Kimmel “Secretary of Defense Robert Gates announced today that the Pentagon will ease up on its […]
Most of the time I feel like the less I hear about Sarah Palin, the better. But this one is just too funny to pass up. Someone has created a website called factsaboutapalinpresidency.com that has all the facts you need to know about what it would be like if Palin were POTUS. Like: The U.S. […]
“According to Men’s Health magazine, 21 percent of men surveyed would rather have a sexier nurse than a more competent doctor when they’re in the hospital. I say, why not have both? The government’s paying for it now. Who cares?” – Jay Leno “An entire day has passed since the healthcare reform was enacted, and […]
“Well, today, President Obama signed the landmark health care reform bill into law, or as President Obama refers to it, ‘The Rush Limbaugh Deportation Act.’” – Jay Leno “President Obama, boy, he’s feeling like a Toyota driver today. There’s no stopping him.” – Jay Leno “How about basketball? Anybody here suffering from March Madness? Well, […]
© Mike Luckovich Mitt Romney is now condemning the health care reform bill, even though it is pretty much the same as the system he championed in Massachusetts.
As you have probably heard, 14 states are filing suit against the health care reform bill, calling it an “unprecedented encroachment on the sovereignty of the states”. They claim that “The Constitution nowhere authorizes the United States to mandate, either directly or under threat of penalty, that all citizens and legal residents have qualifying health […]
“A lot of upsets over the weekend. Kansas lost to Northern Iowa. Georgetown lost to Ohio. Republicans lost to the Democrats.” – Jay Leno “Yesterday in Washington, D.C., history was made. Congress actually worked on a Sunday.” – David Letterman “Well, as you know, health care reform was passed by the House last night. Supporters […]
© Lee Judge Unfortunately there isn’t enough room on that blackboard, because I can think of a whole lot more of these. For example: Apocalypse = When Democrats pass a bill that is virtually identical to one passed by Mitt Romney, not to mention one Republicans proposed back in 1993 Fascist = What to call […]
