It looks like the Republican nominating process is even more of a mess than we already knew it was. In fact, there is a chance that it isn’t actually over yet. For example, first Romney was declared the winner in Iowa, then Santorum, and now it looks like Ron Paul actually won. In 1920, Warren […]
© Adam Zyglis Once upon a time, the word “conservative” came from the same root as “conservation”. But today, the only thing conservatives are trying to conserve is their bank accounts. For thirty years prior to 2000, earthquakes in the central US averaged 21 a year. But after oil and gas drilling operations started using […]
In March, Rush Limbaugh lost most of his national advertisers because of his sexist remarks about Sandra Fluke after her Congressional testimony. But now at least one national advertiser has resumed advertising on his show. Ironically, that advertiser is Angie’s List. I wonder what Angie Hicks would have to say about that. And doubly ironically, […]
“That Secret Service sex scandal keeps growing. Here’s the latest: Three of the Secret Service agents involved in the sex and cocaine scandal are now leaving the agency. On the bright side, they’re going to have one hell of a going-away party.” – Conan O’Brien “Reporters are in Colombia digging up anything on the Secret […]

In an interview Sunday night, former presidential candidate Jon Huntsman had some things to say about the current state of the Republican Party. At his first presidential debate, he was struck by the question “Is this the best we could do?” Apparently it was, since any deviation from party dogma was swiftly punished. When he […]
Follow the money: Conservative talk show hosts Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Michael Savage all work for Premier Networks. Premier Networks is owned by Clear Channel Communications, which is the largest owner and operator of radio stations, and also owns various other media outlets, including billboards. In 2008, Clear Channel was bought by […]
© Matt Bors The obsession with trying people in the media is truly evil. It rarely leads to true justice, ruins lives, cost millions if not billions of dollars, and distracts us from real issues and problems. And why do certain cases trigger a sustained media obsession, while thousands of equally compelling cases go completely […]
“President Obama is gearing up for his presidential campaign. He’s creating a new series of ads. The first ad boasts “just last week my Secret Service created jobs for 11 Colombian women.” – Conan O’Brien “The Secret Service prostitution scandal has gotten worse because apparently agents were also snorting cocaine. However, in the agents’ defense, […]
Mitt Romney gave a speech at a shuttered Gypsum plant in Ohio yesterday, using it as a backdrop to claim that Obama has failed to create jobs. There are just a couple of problems. First of all, the plant was closed four years ago, before Obama was elected. And second, when Obama was sworn in, […]
“This year the government will spend a trillion dollars more than it will take in. Experts say 32 percent of our taxes go to defense. And the rest buys hookers for the Secret Service.” – Craig Ferguson “In case you’re wondering where your tax dollars go, 21 percent goes to Medicare and Medicaid, 20 percent […]
© Tom Tomorrow Yes, the Supreme Court really did rule that it was ok for jails to use routine strip searches, even for people arrested for minor traffic violations. Why should we be afraid of body cavity searches if we have nothing to hide?
“Did you hear how they caught those Secret Service agents with prostitutes in Colombia? Apparently the men were walking around wearing nothing but their sunglasses and those earpieces.” – Conan O’Brien “President Obama talked about the Secret Service prostitution scandal, saying he’s reserving judgment until all the facts are in, or at least until he […]
© Brian McFadden Let the election begin! It’s going to be the dirtiest campaign you’ve ever seen. I would say: Hide the children and check the plumbing because you’re going to have to shower several times a day. – Charles Krauthammer
