“Here in California, our attorney general said he’s going to investigate whether a university foundation that hired Sarah Palin to give a speech violated public disclosure laws. They had some controversy. Some students found her contract rider in a dumpster. That is a list of demands a performer has when they appear somewhere. Usually you […]
Congratulations to Mark Fiore for winning the Pulitzer for his editorial cartoons (like this one). Ironically, Apple computer rejected an iPhone/iPad app that plays Fiore’s (Pulitzer winning) cartoons, because “it contains content that ridicules public figures”, and thus is “objectionable” and “defamatory”. Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch has praised the iPad, saying “There’s going to […]
“We may have another Oprah on our hands. Since leaving her job as the governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin has made more than $12 million. That is a lot of money for someone who can’t say words that end in ‘g’.” – Jimmy Kimmel “And they say $12 million is a conservative estimate. She may […]
Conservatives all know that labor unions are the root of all evil (well, besides community organizers like ACORN). So when 29 miners were killed at a mine in West Virginia, Rush Limbaugh couldn’t wait to attack the union, saying: Was there no union responsibility for improving mine safety? Where was the union here? Where was […]
© Kevin Siers Thank goodness that Obama finally called out Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell. Immediately after having several fundraisers with Wall Street executives, McConnell shifted position and is now absolutely against any banking reform. He even claimed that banking reform would lead to more bailouts. In other words, he is telling us that not […]
“Well, according to the Pentagon, Al Qaeda is in financial ruin. You know why they’re broke? Health insurance premiums.” – Jay Leno “KFC restaurants have unveiled the ‘Double Down,’ which is two slabs of fried chicken with bacon in the middle. Why not — we all have free health insurance.” – Craig Ferguson “Well, the […]
Yesterday (in honor of tax day), there was a Tea Party protest against taxes on the Boston Commons. But as usual, I’m only interested in the (obvious) irony and humor. Like how the Tea Partiers were protesting on the commons (as in communist), a place paid for by taxpayer dollars. Or that Tea Party protests […]
If you ever wanted to see what propaganda look like, here it is, in three easy steps: Step 1: Republican Senator Tom Coburn dismisses Fox New charges that people who don’t buy health insurance will go to jail, saying “The intention is not to put anybody in jail. That makes for good TV news on […]
“Alan Greenspan, the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, said of his time in office, “I was wrong 30% of the time.” Well that’s not bad – for a weatherman – or a free throw shooter – but you were the Chairman of the Fed. We need the Fed to be on the pill and […]
© Tony Auth Ever get the feeling that the Tea Party is missing something? UPDATE: CBS News reports that “taxes are at their lowest levels in 60 years” following Obama’s tax cuts in the stimulus package. And yet 64% of Tea Party supporters think the administration has raised taxes, even though Obama’s tax cuts went […]
An amazing opinion piece in the NY Times has sparked an even more amazing discussion. The piece is “The Price of Assassination” by Robert Wright. It makes an interesting point about Obama authorizing the assassination of a US citizen living abroad who is strongly suspected of masterminding terrorist operations. For a moment, ignore whether this […]
Fox News sticks up for the rich, and identifies the real villains — the poor! Jon Stewart has fun destroying their logic from every possible angle.
“President Obama signed a historic treaty with the Russian president today. Not everyone’s happy about it. Fox News said it was a ‘summit between a powerful communist leader and the president of Russia.’” – Craig Ferguson “The treaty is about reducing the number of nuclear weapons we have pointed at each other. I thought we […]
Not only is this very funny, it even has an element of irony since by blaming extremists, Cleese is using the same tactics of which he is accusing them. Even though this was filmed back in the 1980’s, if anything it is even more relevant today. But it is funny to see whom British extremists […]
