It seems like the Republican strategy recently has been to throw out an enormous number of negative memes about Obama, to see if any stick. First, they said that he was doing too much. Between cap and trade to roll back global warming, bailing out the economy with the stimulus bill, appointing a hispanic woman […]
Madame Speaker, I have words for Democrats and Republicans tonight. Let’s start with the Democrats We as a party have spent the last six months, the greatest minds in our party, dwelling on the question, the unbelievably consuming question of how to get Olympia Snowe to vote on health care reform. I want to remind […]
This is hilarious: via Melting Pot Project. Maybe instead of calling them red states, we should call states that are full of birthers and teabaggers “Yellow States”, after Big Bird.
ABC News seems shocked (shocked, I tell you) to learn from Michael Moore’s new movie that companies routinely take out life insurance policies on their employees and then benefit when they die.

“Hey, how about this? President Obama goes to Denmark and he’s trying to get the 2016 Olympics for the great city of Chicago. And he presented his case in a heartfelt manner but they weren’t buying it. And boy, do I know what that feels like.” – David Letterman “According to the latest Gallup poll, […]
Keith Olbermann has been absent from his show, taking care of his ailing father and having an unplanned first-hand experience with the US health care system. This is a long video — he dedicated his entire show to this special comment — but it is worth watching. Olbermann outlines the depth of how broken our […]
Republicans are fond of claiming that they have nothing against Obama personally (what, me racist?), it is just they don’t like his policies. So it is interesting to see that the right can’t contain their glee that Obama failed to get the 2016 Olympics in Chicago: The newsroom of the Weekly Standard burst into applause. […]
House Minority Leader John Boehner recently told reporters that he hadn’t been able to find a single American (other than a politician) who is in favor of a public health care option. This despite the fact that a majority of Americans are in favor of the public option. So in response, here is a video […]
“President Obama and his lovely wife Michelle are in Copenhagen and they’re making a pitch to bring the 2016 Olympics to Chicago. Barack Obama is … unusual. I mean, here the guy is on a business trip, with his wife. I mean, what is that?” – David Letterman “President Obama is now in Denmark to […]
“People in Alaska are looking forward to Sarah Palin’s memoir. They’re already calling it ‘The Book to Nowhere.’” – David Letterman “Sarah Palin just finished writing her memoirs. And her publisher says — this is a quote — ‘It’s her words, her life and it’s all there in full and fascinating detail.’ Yeah, then he […]
The New York Times has an interesting article today about the Simmons Bedding Company, which is about to declare bankruptcy.

Not to mention the employees, who are not only out of a job, but had their pensions converted into shares of company […]
