“BP is putting a new cap on the leaking oil well. It could capture up to 90 percent of the disgusting filth that’s spewing from there. And if it works, they’re going to try the same thing on Mel Gibson.” – Craig Ferguson “On the latest Mel Gibson tape, he insults women and uses ethnic […]
The Gulf Oil Leak has been stopped, although not permanently. Federal estimates are that between 93 and 185 million gallons of crude oil were leaked, wreaking widespread ecological damage to the gulf. The original explosion that started the leak killed 11 workers.

What makes this doubly ironic is that the Republicans claim that extending unemployment benefits would only encourage people without jobs to avoid looking for work. […]
“Rush Limbaugh had an apartment here in New York City. He sold the apartment for $11.5 million. That is $2.5 million for the apartment and $9 million for what they found in the medicine cabinet.” – David Letterman “Rush Limbaugh just sold his penthouse in New York for $11 million. The apartment is amazing. It […]
Further evidence that when reality doesn’t match their political needs, Republicans will just ignore reality and lie. The tax cuts for the wealthy that Bush and the Republicans got passed in 2001 and 2003 were completely insane, marking the first time in our nation’s history when taxes were cut during war time. But now those […]
© Joel Pett When the right wing accused climate scientists of falsifying data, it was all over the media. But now that the so-called “ClimateGate” has been proved to be a hoax — there was no falsifying of data, and the accused scientists have been cleared of any wrongdoing — there is hardly any mention.

Reagan famously said “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem”. This quote has been taken out of context and twisted into implying that the government is incapable of solving problems, so the size of government should always be reduced by cutting taxes and eliminating government regulation. But if you read […]

Dana Milbank has an excellent list of the lies that are being told to stir up fear against illegal aliens: tall tales of beheadings, claims that border violence is increasing when it is actually decreasing, fantasy claims that Phoenix is the #2 kidnapping capital in the world, blaming illegal immigrants for most police killings, and […]
Rush Limbaugh has sold his Fifth Avenue condo in New York City, complaining about high taxes. And you know, the apartment, which takes up an entire floor of the building and even has its own entrance, is just like you would imagine Limbaugh would use to rest his weary head, after a long day of […]
© Matt Bors You know, I can almost believe that if a foreign power wanted to destroy America, they couldn’t do nearly as good a job as this. UPDATE: Commenting on the spy swap with Russia, VP Joe Biden said “I thought they’d take Rush Limbaugh”. Maybe they would have if we had thrown in […]
“Vice President Joe Biden made a surprise visit to Iraq on July 4. It was a surprise because Biden thought he was going to Des Moines for a fund-raiser.” – Jay Leno “While Vice President Biden was away, Republican Chairman Michael Steele was forced to take over the job of saying embarrassing things you have […]
Yes, the Republicans do have a plan for reducing unemployment: © Ed Stein One of the things I really like about Ed Stein’s comics is that he has a blog where he comments on them. His comments on this one are better than anything I could add: I’ve been accused of blindly blaming the Republican […]
