If we want to cut off funding to the terror mosque we Must Stop Watching Fox News

So, is this the most absolutely stunning lying hypocrisy ever perpetrated by Fox News, or the stupidest, worst, most mind-numbingly idiotic reporting ever done by Fox News? We report, you decide. When Fox News attacked Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal as the shady, terrorist-loving funder of the ground zero mosque, did they truly not realize […]

Glenn Greenwald makes the point that the “mosque” debate is not a distraction

A few days ago, I said I wasn’t going to talk about the Park51 Islamic cultural center (aka the “Ground Zero Mosque”), because it was being used as a distraction by the Republican party. But Glenn Greenwald makes the point that this has grown far beyond a simple distraction, and is showcasing growing American religious […]

No Birth Certificate? What about no Mouth?

[Satire from Andy Borowitz] In what might be the most serious challenge to Barack Obama’s legitimacy as President, a new poll shows that one out of five Americans are not convinced that Mr. Obama exists.

New Proof that 20% of Americans are Below Average

The recent poll results that nearly one in five Americans believe (incorrectly) that Obama is a Muslim is just more evidence that a small but significant percent of Americans will believe just about any cockamamie story. Of course, it doesn’t help when you have people like Rev. Franklin Graham (son of Billy Graham) spouting nonsense […]

Is the cold war over yet?

I believe that we should end the embargo against Cuba, not because I like the Castro brothers and their government, but because the embargo is counter-productive. In fact, the US embargo is ironically the main reason Fidel and Raul have been able to remain in power, long past the expiration date of communism in the […]

It took some people two hours to get home from work, when it usually only takes 96 minutes.” – Jimmy Kimmel “I don’t understand […]

The Politics of Distraction

I have started wondering why Republicans decided to make a big deal out of some Islamic cultural center being built in an old Burlington Coat Factory store site.
