“The Democrats need 216 vote to pass health care reform. So you know, they have these little charts. And in the latest count, seven Democrats who were against it have now flipped. Four, after arm twisting by Obama. And three after tickling by Eric Massa.” – Bill Maher “The Democrats are working overtime to get […]
David Axelrod, one of Obama’s closest advisors, claims that Scott Brown’s upset victory in Massachusetts, which cost the Democrats their supermajority in the Senate, actually helped get health care reform passed. After the election, Republicans gleefully declared reform dead, since the Democrats didn’t have the votes to stop a Republican filibuster. But instead, in the […]
© Matt Davies Davies titled this comic “Cage Fighter”, I suppose because they are fighting for the right to be screwed over by insurance companies. It is one of life’s little ironies that members of the tea party will likely be helped more than average people by health care reform.
“Yesterday, President Obama appeared on Fox News to pitch his health care. Obama was on Fox. That’s like George W. Bush being on The Learning Channel.” – Jay Leno “You guys excited for March Madness? Had some great matchups so far. B.Y.U. versus Florida. Old Dominion versus Notre Dame. Obama versus Fox News.” – Jimmy […]
First, an “open letter to conservatives” calling them out on their rude and unhelpful behavior, and inviting them back into the fold. Read it. Or if you prefer video, Olbermann pretty much saying the same thing: Will the Republicans be able to back themselves out of the looney bin? It isn’t looking very likely right […]
“Today we celebrate Saint Patrick, the guy that drove all of the Toyotas out of Ireland.” – Jay Leno “It was a beautiful day here in New York for the Saint Patrick’s Day parade — over 60 degrees outside! I guess it’s just that old ‘Luck o’ the Global Warming.’” – Jimmy Fallon “To celebrate […]
Today I watched a video where RNC chair Michael Steele again claimed that the US people were against the health care reform bill. And that is technically true. Even in today’s poll, only 39% favored the bill that just passed, while 59% were opposed to it (2% had no opinion). But what Steele isn’t mentioning […]
[I’m reposting this for Centrist Zealot — check them out.] President Barack Obama, using a surgical technique first performed by Franklin Roosevelt and later perfected by Lyndon Johnson, forcibly attached a pair of testicles to the Democratic Party yesterday. The operation, which took an agonizing 15 months and much of the nation’s patience, was labeled […]
“And I’m sure you remembered to turn your clock ahead an hour, unless, of course, you’re a Democrat working on health care. Then you might want to turn it back a year and start all over again.” – Jay Leno “Congress is getting ready to vote on President Obama’s health care bill. It’s going to […]
The Republicans fought against health care reform as if it were all out war, so it is no surprise that even with the bill (finally!) passing last night, they are trying to claim they will get their revenge in the November elections. A piece in the Washington Post goes so far as to claim that […]
I have to apologize. Something has gone wonky with my commenting system and ALL comments are being labeled as spam. I’m trying to fix the problem, but meanwhile my only option is to manually go through my spam queue and save non-spam comments. But this means that your comments will not appear immediately. Unfortunately, turning […]
We love to complain about how Washington is broken, that it is too tied up in partisan politics and has forgotten how to actually govern. And ironically, we also complain about Obama and the Democrats not standing up to the Republicans. Or, in plainer words, we attack them for not being partisan enough. And yet, […]
Things have been looking pretty grim for birther-in-chief Orly Taitz. Every lawsuit she has filed to try to prove that Obama was not born in the USA (and is thus ineligible to be president) has been thrown out of court, she was fined $20,000 for making frivolous filings, Hawaii is considering a law that will […]
