© David Horsey UPDATE: In case you are wondering what this cartoon is about, it is interesting that even though Obama’s stimulus bill received virtually no Republican votes in Congress (absolutely none in the House), that Republican governors like Arnold Schwarzenegger of California, Charlie Crist of Florida, and others, actually have states to run and […]
“Happy Presidents’ Day, everybody. As you know, the banks were all closed today. I understand a few are expected to open tomorrow.” -Jay Leno “Today, of course, a very solemn day in America. We celebrate presidents past by getting a good deal on mattresses and big-screen TVs.” -Craig Ferguson “Presidents’ Day, of course, the day […]
“Members of Congress should wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers so we could identify their corporate sponsors.” –Zing “If I had done the things I’ve been accused of, I’d be too embarrassed to stand up here.” – Senator Roland Burris “Spending $800 billion to save or create 4 million jobs works out to $200,000 per job.

One of the interesting ironies about the economic stimulus bill that just passed is that by most any measure it is the largest tax cut in US history. It includes $282 billion in tax cuts over two years. In comparison, Bush’s largest tax cuts (in 2004/2005) totaled $231 billion. So why did the Republicans just […]
