In the Republican’s new “Pledge To America” they say: We will allow small business owners to take a tax deduction equal to 20 percent of their business income. However, there are two common forms of “small business” that doesn’t pay any taxes already. Instead, in Subchapter S corporations and Limited Liability Companies and Partnerships (LLCs), […]
“There are 37 Republican candidates for the Senate. Not one believes global warming is real and man made. Except the one, Mike Castle, the guy [O’Donnell] defeated in Delaware.” – Bill Maher “I saw that new movie ‘Devil’ or as Delaware Tea Party candidate Christine O’Donnell calls it, ‘Roots’” – Jay Leno “There’s a clip […]
© Jen Sorensen Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin, and now Christine O’Donnell — is this what is going on? I guess Ronald Reagan completely legitimized actors as politicians, so now the Republicans are working on sexy women as politicians? Watch this video about the “Top 10 Mama Grizzlies“. By the way, no comments about the fact […]
“You know this Tea Party candidate, Christine O’Donnell, is causing a lot of controversy with her kind of unorthodox views. She’s come out against masturbation. You know what that means? She’s out of touch with those voters who are in touch with themselves.” – Jay Leno “Nation, I’ve have been a diehard supporter of Delaware […]
© Zach Weiner I would definitely support a law that requires anyone running for public office to supply sources for “facts” that they sprout.
PolitiFact, a non-partisan fact checking service, is one of my favorite sites for finding out the truth about politicians. Not only do they do the hard research and fact checking that the media doesn’t bother with anymore, but they do it with style and often a good sense of humor. A good example is their […]

“In Delaware, Tea Party favorite Christine O’Donnell won in a big upset in the primaries. She has an interesting background. Back in the 1990s, she mounted a campaign to stop masturbation. It didn’t work.” – Jimmy Kimmel “I don’t know a lot about Christine O’Donnell, but she has some interesting views. She has come out […]
You may or may not like Paul Krugman, but he has a must-read rant in the NY Times called “The Angry Rich“. Here are a few quotes, but the whole (fairly short) thing is worth a read: Anger is sweeping America. … No, I’m not talking about the Tea Partiers. I’m talking about the rich. […]
“Well-known, veteran politicians were upended by candidates from the Tea Party. It was especially shocking because I’ve been to a lot of tea parties with my daughter and most of the people there are stuffed animals.” – Jimmy Kimmel “It’s a great day for the members of the tea party. You know, the new political […]
© Tom Toles More and more I’m feeling like this. I mean, when I lived overseas and our government did stupid things like the Viet Nam war, people would console me by saying that the American people were good, it was just our government. But now it seems like we finally elected a president who […]
I’m testing out a fancy new anti-spam, caching mechanism that is supposed to speed things up for regular visitors, while making things much more difficult for spammers and other “evil doers”. Unfortunately, things can always go wrong, so if you have any problems with the site, please let me know — either leave a comment […]
What I want to know is why is Meg Whitman so desperate to be governor of California? She has already spent $119 million of her own money on the campaign, more than any other self-funded candidate in history. But now, Whitman has been caught staging a fake town hall meeting.
