Matt Taibbi has yet another brilliant article/rant in Rolling Stone about the Tea Party, where it came from, how it has been appropriated by corporate Republican power brokers, and just where that leaves us. Go read it. Just to get you to read it, here are two paragraphs from the end: Of course, the fact […]
“At the UN, President Obama called on other countries to help us track down and eliminate radicals and extremists. But they told Obama, ‘Hey, the tea party is your problem, buddy.’” – Jay Leno “Bob Woodward has written a book which states that the White House agonized over the decision to leave Iraq. Too bad […]
The Pledge to America was supposed to be based on the GOP’s much ballyhooed “GOP Listening Tour”, including their (taxpayer funded) “America Speaking Out” website where visitors submitted ideas that were voted up or down by others. But as Tiny Dupuy points out in “The Moderates’ Lament“, the most popular (by vote) ideas on the […]
“The Republicans released their ‘Pledge to America.’ It’s 21 pages of phony charts and bad ideas. Sarah Palin got a copy, and she said, ‘How am I supposed to fit all this crap on my hand?’” – Bill Maher “Sarah Palin was considering running for president, until she heard it was a four-year deal.” – […]
© Mike Keefe Back when Republicans had control of the presidency, both houses of Congress, and the Supreme Court, they ran up record deficits. They lied us into unnecessary wars, they rammed unfunded Medicare Part D through Congress, they passed out tax breaks to rich people. Why why why would anyone believe that they are […]
“The Republicans announced their Pledge to America, and here’s what it is: Less taxes, smaller government and act now and they’ll throw in the Dean Martin roast of Frank Sinatra.” – David Letterman “So two years ago America broke up with you, because you had badly mistreated her. … And you come back rapping on […]
CNN has a documentary that has a double helping of irony. The documentary is about Polish Jews who are coming out of the closet about their religion. Not only did communist governments try to suppress all religion, but in the years after WWII antisemitism was rampant in Poland, to the point where many Jews hid […]
The GOP is campaigning to repeal Obama’s health care overhaul bill, calling it socialist and a job killer. To support this, they quote polls that show that Americans oppose the reform bill by numbers like 40% against to 30% in favor (with 30% neutral). So it sounds like Americans want the GOP to kill Obamacare. […]
I don’t care what the pundits say about Jimmy Carter. I think he is the nicest, most genuine, and the most underrated president we ever had.
John Avlon has a wonderful article over on The Daily Beast about how comedians are taking over the job of what used to be considered “real” journalists. Stephen Colbert testifying in front of Congress. Bill Maher serving as a one-man opposition research division against Wingnut Queen Christine O’Donnell. Jon Stewart hosting a pre-election “Rally to […]
In the wake of the Supreme Court decision allowing corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money on political races, we are indeed seeing a huge upsurge in the amount of money being spent by third parties for the upcoming election. The NY Times has a couple of maps that show where the money is being […]
“In Delaware, they have a professional witch running for Senate, and she said at one time that she actually had a date on a satanic altar. Whoa! I mean, seriously, who hasn’t? … The date actually took place at Motel 666.” – David Letterman “As you know, Tea Party candidate Christine O’Donnell has come out […]
© Tom Tomorrow Wait a minute, I can’t seem to tell the difference between the Parallel Earth’s Tea-and-Crumpets Party and our very own Tea Party. Is Tom Tomorrow being ironic? Oh, and the article he mentions in the first panel is here.
