Wasted

© Steve Sack After spending an hour interviewing Democratic Congressman Eric Massa, who was just forced to resign, Glenn Beck admitted “America, I’m gonna shoot straight with you. I think I’ve wasted your time. I have wasted an hour of your time. And I apologize for that.” Shouldn’t he end every one of his shows […]

“Record ratings for the Oscars last night. Kathryn Bigelow won best director for her film about the Iraq war. But in her speech, she forgot to thank the two people without whom this film could never have been made — Bush and Cheney.” – Jay Leno “Now this year, the Academy Awards had a salute […]

An Unexpected Benefit of Health Care Reform

On his radio show, a caller asked Rush Limbaugh what he would do if the health care bill passes. Limbaugh replied: I’ll just tell you this, if this passes and it’s five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented — I am leaving the country. I’ll go to Costa Rica. I don’t know […]

Late Night Political Humor

“There’s a story today in the entertainment trade papers that Sarah Palin is shopping a reality show with the producer of ‘Survivor’, Mark Burnett. That’s why she quit being the governor of Alaska. I find it strange that Sarah Palin would be shopping a reality show considering the fact that she hasn’t shown much interest […]

The Sins of the Father, Revisited

Many people have theorized that Dubya wanted to invade Iraq in order to gain retribution for (or just one-up) his father’s failure to topple Saddam Hussein during the Gulf War. Well, it seems like we might have something of the same thing going on between Liz Cheney and her father. Dick Cheney was chronically unpopular […]

Why Hasn’t There Been a Tea Party Protest Against This Socialism?

Conservatives in general, and tea partiers in particular have decided that anything that even smells like socialism is evil, and must be protested vigorously. However, they seem to have overlooked a bastion of corporate socialism in the US. Why aren’t they protesting this? Are they closet socialism fans? I am talking (of course) about the […]

Late Night Political Humor

“New Yorkers are desperate. They’re trying to get Paterson to leave early, and I said to myself, ‘That sounds like a job for Jay Leno.’” – David Letterman “But I don’t know how serious this is. I won’t believe that there’s real trouble with the governor until I hear that he’s told his staff he’s […]

The Senate health care reform bill doesn’t fund abortions

One of the big issues surrounding health care reform is whether or not it will provide funding for abortions. Even in this blog, I’ve had people claim that the Senate health care bill would “force everyone to tithe to abortion providers”. Many people are opposed to this bill only because they believe it funds abortions. […]

Everything you thought you knew about the Bush administration is wrong

Dana Milbank has a scathing review of Karl “Bush’s Brain” Rove’s new book in the Washington Post. Apparently Rove misses being the master of doublespeak, and so is rewriting the history of the Bush administration. Here are some quotes from Rove’s book: “Did Bush lie us into war? Absolutely not.” “The president never authorized torture. […]
