“There was a big storm down in the Washington, D.C., area, and it toppled a tree. A giant, ancient tree toppled over. This is how crazy things are. When the tree toppled over, somebody contacted former Vice President Dick Cheney, and he said: ‘See, well, there it goes. It proves that President Obama is soft […]
Obama promised a new era in transparency in government. He even complained about all the oil company executives who visited the White House to write Dubya’s Energy Bill (code named “No Oil Well Left Behind”), even though Obama voted for that bill. But now, MSNBC reports that the Obama administration is trying to block access […]
There is a new website http://iamdrtiller.com/ devoted to the memory of Dr. George Tiller, the abortion doctor who was shot and killed in his church. The site contains letters and photos sent in from people. In some (but not all) of the photos, people are holding signs saying “I am Dr. Tiller” over their faces. […]
US District Judge Jeffrey White has ruled that Jose Padilla has the right to sue John Yoo, the government lawyer who wrote the memos that approved the torture of terrorists, including torturing Padilla (according to his suit).

© Jim Morin No, this is not a joke. There are a number of neocons who really do want Ahmadinejad to be re-elected president of Iran. Daniel Pipes even said that he would vote for Ahmadinejad. Their reasoning seems to be that if Iran becomes more moderate, then it will be harder to talk the […]
“The first detainee from Guantanamo Bay arrived in New York City for trial. You know what that means? He’ll be back on the street tomorrow.” – David Letterman “It’s crazy the way things work. They bring the guy — he’s locked up down there for four years in Guantanamo Bay — they bring him to […]
First there was that study that showed a correlation between being a conservative and low intelligence. Now this: Are you very bothered by the sight of a cockroach, the smell of urine, coming into contact with a toilet seat in a public restroom, or accidentally drinking from a stranger’s soda can? If so, then you’re […]

“The newest nominee for the Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor, broke her ankle at LaGuardia Airport. Broke it in three places. And listen to this, at least two of those breaks have to be approved by the Senate.” –David Letterman “This morning, Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor fell and broke her ankle at LaGuardia airport.

Rush Limbaugh talking about Obama’s plan to reform health care in the US: I’ll tell you why Obama wants to hurry. I’ll answer my own question. If he doesn’t get it done now he’s not going to get it done because everything he’s doing is falling apart. Everything he’s doing is crumbling. He’s in a […]
“I am Stephen Colbert, and I am reporting for duty. Folks, right off the top, I want to thank the USO for bringing me and my show to our brave men and women in uniform in Baghdad, Iraq. Thank you so much. I have to say, this place is great. I’ve always loved the beach, […]
Karl Rove is out with a new column in the Wall Street Journal called (unabashedly) “How to Stop Socialized Health Care“. What’s completely hypocritical of this is that Rove was one of the main promoters of the Medicare prescription drug benefit in 2003, which was the biggest move in 40 years toward what Rove now […]
