On Wednesday, the Supreme Court discussed severability — whether overturning the individual mandate in the health care reform law would require overturning the entire law. Justice Antonin Scalia scoffed: If we struck down nothing in this legislation but the — what’s it called, the Cornhusker kickback, okay, we find that to violate the constitutional proscription […]
“Jeb Bush has come out and endorsed Mitt Romney. He said it was the hardest decision he’s had to make since endorsing his brother, George W.” – Jay Leno “Mitt Romney got a big endorsement this week. The bad news: It was from Etch A Sketch.” – Jay Leno “Mitt Romney’s adviser actually compared him […]
Reliable sources say a Super-PAC craze is sweeping the nation. Don’t get left out. Stephen Colbert will help you start your own Super PAC, for just $99. According to the Federal Election Commission, “more Texans have donated to Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow [Colbert’s Super PAC] than to the pro-Romney Restore Our Future.”
© Jim Morin The individual mandate was originally a Republican idea, and they introduced two health care bills that included an individual mandate. Romneycare includes it. Ironically, Barack Obama in 2008 was opposed to it. But when Obama changed his mind, the Republicans suddenly became against it. So the Republicans are desperately fighting to repeal […]
[reprinted from The Borowitz Report] WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – The following message was released today by the National Alliance of Funeral Directors: This week, several Republican Supreme Court Justices have argued that the Affordable Care Act supported by the Obama Administration is unconstitutional. At the National Alliance of Funeral Directors, we couldn’t agree more. […]
Hollywood is making a movie about Eugene Allen, the White House butler who served from 1952 (under Harry Truman) to 1986 (Ronald Reagan). The all star cast being assembled reportedly includes Liam Neeson as Lyndon Johnson, and John Cusack as Richard Nixon, Forest Whitaker as Allen and Oprah Winfrey as his wife. But the best […]
“March Madness started again today with the start of the round known as the Sweet 16. President Obama’s bracket was in the top 2 percent of everyone who makes picks on ESPN.com. I guess it helps when you can send the CIA in to scout the teams.” – Jimmy Kimmel “President Obama did this last […]
© Kevin Siers Is anyone else worried that after such insane decisions as Citizen’s United, the Supreme Court is going to do something really stupid to health care reform? I may have to move away again after all.
Matthew Spaccarelli was upset about the fact that AT&T guaranteed him “unlimited” bandwidth on his iPhone, but then slowed down (in their terms, throttled) his service. So he sued in small claims court, and won. Score one for the little guy. What happened next is interesting. AT&T said they would appeal, and sent him a […]
“Today is Ann and Mitt Romney’s 43rd wedding anniversary. This means that 43 years ago Mitt proposed to his wife and due to a weak field of candidates, she said yes.” – Conan O’Brien “Rick Santorum wants to ban pornography. That’s one of the few thriving industries America has left.” – David Letterman “John McCain’s […]
© Matt Davies I’m sure someone would blame Obama for rainy weather if they could. Ironically, Fox News said it best when they declared “no President has the power to increase or to lower gas prices” and that the best way to reduce gas prices is to reduce consumption, so Americans should “get rid of […]
“This Wednesday Mitt Romney goes one-on-one in a debate against the one man who stands in the way of his nomination: Mitt Romney.” – Jimmy Kimmel “Massachusetts moderate squares off with die-hard conservative Romney on the issues. Man versus machine. Romney versus Romney.” – Jimmy Kimmel “Rick Santorum said he’s not worried about unemployment. Well, […]
Paul Ryan explains how his new budget will work for America, returning our country to what it was under the founding fathers: “Under this plan, if you lose your job and have your house foreclosed, the government isn’t going to bail you out any more.” Instead, any American who can no longer compete in the […]
© Joe Heller It is ironic that Republicans don’t like Mitt Romney for changing his positions, when they do the same thing about candidates trying to find “Anyone but Mitt”. I’m often confused about the whole “flip-flopping” deal. Voters want candidates who respect their wishes. When Romney was running in a pro-choice state, he was […]
