Newt Gingrich doesn’t think the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are bad enough. On Thursday, Gingrich twice said that the US should attack North Korea and Iran. But the best part is his reasoning — we need to finish what Dubya started when he created the phrase “Axis of Evil”: I believe he was right […]
© Keith Tucker The next time a Republican politician claims to be pro-business, ask them why they killed a bill that would help small businesses get loans? I guess it is more important to keep the economy in the shambles so you can blame it on Obama.
American politics has become a cynical blame game. The left-wing blames Obama for not doing enough, the right-wing blames Obama for everything (which is their coward’s strategy for getting votes, since it is easy to blame the party in power, and doesn’t require to to have any, um, ideas). My favorite conservative, Andrew Sullivan has […]
“A new poll shows that Congress’ approval rating is at a record low of 11 percent. The other 89 percent are going to withhold judgment until Congress actually does something.” – Jay Leno “There’s a report that Kate Gosselin and Sarah Palin are taking their families camping together in Alaska. And it must be true, […]
© Clay Bennett Here’s a good review of the latest legal wrangling.
There seems to be a bug that makes any comments sometimes appear, and sometimes not appear. I’m not having much luck tracking down the bug. Might be some kind of caching bug. My apologies. It does seem that if you are logged on to the site, you will see the comments, and if you are […]
© Tom Toles The Republicans are filibustering a bill that would require political ads to disclose who funded them. Democrats need only a single vote to break the filibuster, but not a single Republican will support the bill. This bill is a small thing that would reverse some of the Supreme Court decision (“Citizen’s United“) […]
A post from ‘Niceguy’ Eddie got me thinking: Since I don’t let an ideology do my thinking for me, I don’t really care what positions fall under which label. I really, just DON’T CARE. I’m not trying to Liberal here, I’m just trying to be RIGHT. (As in “correct,” not “wing.”) And the way I […]
On the other side, there are reports that the leaked documents reveal the names, and sometimes the location, of Afghanis who worked as informants for the US military. If this is true, then lives will have been put in danger by these leaks.
© Kevin Siers The release of US military records on Afghanistan is being compared to the 1971 leak of the Pentagon Papers by Daniel Ellsburg, with one important difference. The media no longer cares, and even if they did, hardly anyone is surprised to learn that Afghanistan is a mess, or even that we may […]
“The brother of former President George Bush, Jeb Bush, is running for president. Yep, and the campaign slogan is, ‘I’m going to finish what my brother started.’” – David Letterman “So Jeb Bush is running for president. I don’t know about the rest of the country, but thank God, ladies and gentlemen, the comedy recession […]
From MoveOn.org. Although I don’t think they went far enough. Breitbart doesn’t just “heart” terrorists, he is a terrorist.
© Tom Toles Yes, I know that weather is not the same as climate, but since conservative pundits repeatedly called global warming a big hoax every time there was a snow storm last winter, I wonder if they are saying anything now that this year is turning out to be the hottest in recorded history.
