“I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.” – Thomas J Watson, Chairman and CEO of IBM, in 1943. “We’re in the business of delivering what consumers want, and to stay a little ahead of what we think they will want. We just don’t see the need of delivering that to consumers.” […]

The Republicans seem to be spending more time trying to avoid blame for the sequester than on, you know, trying to actually passing a budget. They are mainly doing this by trying to claim that the sequester was Obama’s idea. However, Paul Ryan, the recent Republican candidate for vice president, has been strongly promoting the […]

Or are they just going to keep cutting off their noses to spite their faces? Ezra Klein sums up the current sequester situation well. Republicans have five goals/demands: Reduce the deficit. Cut entitlement spending. Protect or increase defense spending. Get rid of unnecessary deductions and loopholes in the tax code. Lower tax rates. Now, I […]

“They’re going to miss Pope Benedict. He’s very underrated. This is the guy who wanted to replace Communion wafers with unlimited bread sticks.” – David Letterman “It’s been reported that after the Pope retires he’ll receive a relatively small pension. So don’t be surprised to see an elderly German on the sidewalk with a sign […]

© Tom Tomorrow Somehow, conservatives have hoodwinked us into believing that there is some sort of financial emergency, and that in order to avoid cutting entitlements in the future, we have to… cut them now! This is nonsense. An excellent article in The New Yorker that explains the real situation, and gives a strong hint […]

“Sad news from the Vatican. As you know, Pope Benedict was fired a couple of weeks ago. They caught him stealing communion wafers” – David Letterman “The big question: Who’s going to replace the Pope? Where’s the new Pope going to come from? I think they should check out Whole Foods. I’ve seen plenty of […]

“Can President Obama get the support of gun owners? Yes, after a four-year waiting period.” – Stephen Colbert “Obama gave his State of the Union speech and went through a laundry list of things, most of them very centrist — like he said he wanted universal preschool.

“As you know, the Pope is resigning. He said he feels there’s just no room for advancement. It’s a dead-end job.” – Jay Leno “The Vatican said that as soon as the Pope resigns, he will no longer be infallible. The Vatican said it’s the same thing that happened to Oprah.” – Conan O’Brien “Big […]

© David Horsey I actually do think that if humanity were existentially threatened, that we would come together. But it would take something dramatic. I think at least part of our problem right now is that we are relatively really well off, and everyone knows that money is the root of all evil, right? But […]

“The Vatican was struck by lightning after the Pope announced he was retiring. That really happened. Sounds like someone’s not handling the breakup well.” – Conan O’Brien “Pope Benedict says he is resigning because of physical problems. Apparently it’s an old football injury from throwing all those Hail Marys.” – Jay Leno “With the Pope […]

Only on Fox News. Why let reality get in the way of defending the stranglehold large multinational oil companies have on our energy future? Fox and Friends was ridiculing Obama’s “failed” strategy to promote solar energy in the US, but there was the little detail of Germany to contend with. Germany is leading the world […]

“Today, Pope Benedict surprised everyone and announced that he is stepping down at the end of the month. Or as God put it, ‘Well, at least he gave me two weeks’ notice’.” – Jimmy Fallon “The Pope announced he is resigning. He doesn’t feel he is strong enough to continue with his papal duties. What […]
