“As you know, Vice President Biden got in a little bit of trouble yesterday when he suggested that people should avoid commercial flights and subways if they want to stay healthy. Yeah. Today, President Obama recommended that Biden avoid microphones and TV cameras for the very same reason.” – Jay Leno “Well, there are now […]
And remember that Sean Hannity hasn’t said a word since he agreed to be waterboarded.
The GOP rolls out their grand effort to rebrand themselves — a “listening tour”. Sometimes I think that if Rush Limbaugh came out and declared that the earth is flat, the Republican “leadership” would fall over each other to agree with him. Great video of rank hypocrisy in action: Thanks to the Huffington Post. UPDATE: […]
The term “blowback” was originally used by intelligence services to describe violent, unintended consequences of covert operations. A big example of this was the CIA financing and training insurgents in Afghanistan to fight a guerrilla war against the USSR, who then turned around and joined al-Qaeda. Indeed, Osama bin Laden himself was one of those […]

The GOP is taking their role as the opposition party very seriously. In fact, they have already come out against Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court, despite the fact that nobody (probably not even Obama) has any idea who that nominee will be.

Chrysler, but it really took off under his younger brother, Jesus H. Chrysler, who’s I guess like some kind of marketing genius.” – Jimmy Kimmel […]
This video from Letterman about Cheney’s recent criticisms of Obama is absolutely hilarious: As for how Obama is doing, this article in the Washington Post is all good news: The economy? Recovering. Warren Buffett declares the economy is “out of the quicksand”. Construction spending up for the first time in five months. House Sales? Higher […]
As proof of the need for tax breaks for the rich, I keep hearing a statement bandied about that the biggest earners in the US are paying an increasing share of the nation’s income taxes. You can read it here in the Wall Street Journal, in an article by Bush’s former press secretary, Ari Fleischer. […]
It is nice to know that politicians are still adept at the art of doublespeak. The latest example of this is from Senator James Inhofe (R-OK): There is no evidence more visible that the American people are already rebelling against the far-left agenda than Senator Arlen Specter switching parties to become a Democrat [sic].
