© Matt Bors The NRA is proposing that the solution to school violence is to add more guns. Their proposal is to have an armed guard at every school. But they forget that at the worst school shooting in our history, Columbine High School, there was an armed guard there, and that wasn’t enough to […]
The vast majority of what has been reported as “voter fraud” has actually been voter registration fraud. For example, the supposed “voter fraud” cases that were used to destroy ACORN were actually cases where people who were paid to register voters submitted extra registrations in order to get paid more, and almost certainly resulted in […]
What happened to the American dream? The dream that anyone can make it if they work hard enough, and maybe have a little luck. That “you can make it if you try”. The dream that all men are created equal, and that nobody is above the law. As if it wasn’t bad enough that corporations […]
The joke used to be that people would say “I’m not a racist, but…” and then go on to say racist things. Well, the GOP apparently has a new version of that. It may not be acceptable to say racist things in public, but it is ok to accuse our first black president of having […]

“According to the Mayan calendar, December 21 marks the end of the world. Then why am I Christmas shopping?” – David Letterman “December 21, the end of the world, is a Friday. So it means dress is casual.” – David Letterman “Japan and South Korea are on high alert after North Korea successfully launched a […]
© Matt Bors Ironically, suggesting that we not talk about guns in the wake of a massacre is just as political as talking about them.
Is it my imagination, or do we seem to be having a spate of random and largely unexplained massacres lately? They are horrible, and I think that there are things we can do to prevent them in the future. But I’m afraid that we are unable or unwilling to have a reasonable conversation about how […]

“A close friend of mine said his doctor gave him less than two weeks to live. But it turns out his doctor’s a Mayan. He says that to everybody.” – Jay Leno “The Mayans have predicted the world is supposed to end on December 21. If the world doesn’t end on December 21, you can […]
© Drew Sheneman How can anyone believe there is a war on Christmas? I’ve been inundated with Christmas songs, decorations, and everything else for weeks already. If there is a war on Christmas, it is the effort to turn it into a consumer extravaganza, rather than a religious holiday.
“Did you see the Manny Pacquiao fight? He got knocked out by Juan Manuel Marquez in the 6th round. Pacquiao hit the canvas face first. Was that really that big of a deal? Passing out face first in Vegas — who hasn’t done that, really?” – Jay Leno “Mitt Romney, Snooki, and Steven Seagal were […]
© Clay Bennett Taxes are at historic lows since WWII. And we did pretty well while taxes were high. Why is letting them go back up to where they were during the Clinton administration such a issue? Yes, our population is aging, and this will be a problem for Social Security and Medicare, but the […]
“Today New Jersey Governor Chris Christie visited the White House. President Obama told him, ‘I’d invite you to lunch but the deficit is already too high.’” – Conan O’Brien “The unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest level in nearly four years. The bad news is that most of those jobs involve wearing a red […]
