Sometimes I wonder if Matt Taibbi is the only political pundit not just with any brains, but with any common sense. First, go read his blog post “OWS’s Beef: Wall Street Isn’t Winning – It’s Cheating“. Go ahead. It’s short and should be required reading. I’ll wait for you here… OK, you’re back. How blind […]
I know I’ve said it before, but Jon Stewart is brilliant. And he’s on a roll with this one, pointing out the utter hypocrisy of the chicken hawks.
© Jen Sorensen I’m not sure I buy the argument that people would pay more attention to the Occupy Wall Street protestors if they dressed up in business suits. After all, we seemed to pay plenty of attention to the Teabaggers. And a majority of Americans already agree with the Wall Street protests.
© Tom Tomorrow I’m not sure why this is a comic — it sound just like things I’m actually hearing on the news.
Adbusters, the group that is largely responsible for the Occupy Wall Street protests, has come out with their own idea for a simple demand: On October 29, on the eve of the G20 Leaders Summit in France, let’s the people of the world rise up and demand that our G20 leaders immediately impose a 1% […]
[Written by Fred Wickham] Right wing commentators have been trashing the Wall Street Occupiers. “What is it they stand for?” they’re demanding. And, frankly, it is about time they took one simple stand. My suggestion is that the protestors demand the reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall act. That is the piece of legislation from 1933 which […]
© Dan Wasserman As Slate Magazine points out, voter fraud is statistically extremely rare. Heck, it’s hard enough to get legal registered voters to just go vote. So why are Republicans suddenly passing all kinds of laws that put roadblocks in front of voters to prevent voter fraud? One guess.
“Earlier this week, a protester at Occupy Wall Street proposed to his girlfriend. His exact words were, ‘Will you occupy my parents’ basement with me until I get a job?’” – Conan O’Brien “Herman Cain is out there, he says a lot of provocative things. He said America should build its own Great Wall of […]
Jon Stewart on the end of the Libyan war and the Republican reaction to it. The best part is the second half.
“Big news in the Republican ranks, there is a new front-runner: Herman Cain. The Republican establishment is freaking out because their token black guy is in the lead now. It’s like an episode of Star Trek where the black guy beams down to the planet and lives.” – Bill Maher “Herman Cain’s plan to save […]
A very enjoyable conversation between Jon Stewart and Al Sharpton about the Wall Street protestors, national discourse, the media, Obama, Herman Cain, Clarence Thomas, and irony. In two parts:
I don’t want to celebrate the death of Muammar Gaddafi even though he was responsible for the Lockerbie bombing, one of the worst acts of terrorism (other than 9/11). But I do want to point out something hypocritical. When Obama decided to help out the Libyan rebels who were fighting Gaddafi, he was repeatedly criticized […]
Well, we don’t have to guess any longer. In June, Alabama passed a tough immigration law and it was immediately challenged by the Obama administration, as has been done in other states. But unlike other states, a federal judge declined to block the Alabama law, leaving Alabama with the toughest law against illegal immigration in […]
Jon Stewart doesn’t have to tell us about the hypocrisy of Republicans condemning the Wall Street protests, he lets them tell us themselves using their own words:
