The Economics Party

In one of those articles that would be even more hilarious if it didn’t make so much sense, Scott Adams proposes a new political party called the Economics Party. “You don’t even have to stop being a Democrat or Republican or whatever to join. The Economics Party won’t have its own candidates. All we’ll do is […]

Rumsfeld, Master of Irony

While investigating their shocking story about the Pentagon planting military analysts in major news outlets, the NY Times came up with this interesting quote by Don Rumsfeld from December 2006: [Iraqi militias] know the center of gravity of the thing is here in the United States.

Late Night in Politics

“Huge political fireworks today after President Bush went to Israel and he talked about American politicians who might want to talk with Hamas or other leaders.

Part three of the ongoing comedy. Senator Joe Biden reveals that the Bush administration has engaged in unconditional direct talks with some of the worst terrorists around, which kind of makes Bush a hypocrite for slamming Obama for wanting to talk with countries like Iran.

Impersonation – the sincerest form of flattery

Three months ago, a 36-year-old man showed up in Gerald, Missouri claiming to be a federal DEA officer. He drove a car with a siren bar and a police radio and wore a black t-shirt with “Police” emblazoned across the chest. He carried a gun and had a federal ID card and an official-looking badge. […]

Why Don’t Republicans Support Our Troops?

The next time the Republican party accuses someone of not supporting the troops, remember this: http://www.theseminal.com/2008/05/15/morning-topic-why-dont-republicans-support-our-troops/ John McCain (and most other republicans) are refusing to support a bill to restore veteran’s benefits to the levels they were at after WWII.

More Change You Deserve

Here is Jon Stewart’s take on the rebranding of the Republican party: I notice that he missed the fact that Effexor XR comes in a Republican red pill with a large “W” on it, which we reported on four days ago. You heard it here first, folks!
