Stephen Colbert Spoofs Bill O’Reilly

The 20-year-old Bill O’Reilly Rage video that has been running around the web wasn’t all that surprising — I used to work in TV and have seen far worse than that from weather-persons.  But Colbert’s take-off is priceless. UPDATE: Someone did a dance remix of the original Bill O’Reilly Rage video. Should we call this […]

No fiddling while Rome burns for Bush

This is another one of those stories that you just couldn’t make up. In an interview Tuesday, Bush revealed a personal way in which he has tried to acknowledge the sacrifice of soldiers and their families.  He gave up playing golf. “I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.” http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0508/10314.html

Things are looking down

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., greets Obama supporter Doris Smith during a campaign stop at Tudor’s Biscuit World in Charleston, W. Va. Monday, May 12, 2008. ‘Oh, I didn’t want to do this,’ Smith said, embarrassed, who was wearing the Obama T-shirt as Clinton walked into the restaurant. ‘I didn’t know she […]

Ironies Abound!

(sometimes these stories just write themselves) In one of the more ironic episodes of the Bush Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation last week raided the office and home of the senior official in charge of protecting Federal whistleblowers on suspicion of whistleblower retaliation within his own agency – while he was investigating possible criminal […]

Reverse Psychology

In response to claims that she has no chance of winning the nomination, Clinton has asserted that pledged delegates are allowed to switch sides and vote for her at the convention. Unlike Superdelegates, who are free to support either candidate, pledged delegates are supposedly promised to a specific candidate. Well, we now know that Clinton […]

The Change You Deserve!

Saddled with a very unpopular president, and losing elections even in heavily Republican districts, the Republicans are trying to grab a piece of the “change” mandate. So on Wednesday, Congressional Republicans will start rolling out their new policy agenda, complete with a new slogan (drum roll please…) “The Change You Deserve“. Unfortunately, the Republicans seem […]

13-year-old steals Dad’s credit cards to buy hookers

Ralph Hardy, a 13-year-old boy, confessed to ordering an extra credit card from his father’s existing credit card company and taking his friends on a $30,000 spending spree, including playing “Halo” with a couple of prostitutes in a Texas motel. The prostitutes told the arresting officers they suspected something was up when the kids (who […]

11-year-old boy gives $440 to Clinton campaign

Last Friday (days after the pundits had already declared the race over) 11-year-old Dalton Hatfield presented a check for $440 to former President Bill Clinton. Hatfield feels so strongly that Hillary Clinton should be the next president that he sold his bicycle, some video games, and other items to raise money. “I was thinking one […]

Obama claims he’s visited 57 states

UPDATE: In honor of this flub, the Suitably Flip website is actually selling flag pins with 57 stars. As they say, it’s the perfect accessory for the ironic Obama supporter, and a wonderful “substitute for true patriotism”! And Marc Ambinder at The Atlantic points out that if McCain had made the same flub, it would […]
