© Ed Stein The economy is stuck in a weird Catch-22 right now. Corporate profits are soaring and businesses are sitting on mountains of cash. Historically, when business profits go up, workers share in the bounty; they get raises and more workers are hired. Not this time. Businesses want to see the economy to turn […]
“Christine O’Donnell released a commercial in which she says, ‘I’m not a witch.’ That’s pretty good, though not as effective as her opponent’s slogan, ‘I’m not Christine O’Donnell.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Christine O’Donnell is the Senate candidate from Delaware who’s against masturbation and has dabbled in witchcraft. She’s fighting back against the charges she’s a […]
© Jen Sorensen Are the voters really this fickle, or are we just more susceptible to propaganda than we would like to admit (like, are Fox News/Glenn Beck/Rush Limbaugh now in charge)? Whatever it is, I’m depressed about the future of our country.
© Ben Sargent This is a pretty good representation of how I feel about the political parties today. Some people are calling for new political parties, but I can’t help but think how much better things would be if we didn’t have political parties at all. Even George Washington warned against them.
Some recent polls: From Public Policy Polling: Even though only 4% of Republican voters support building a mosque 2 blocks from ground zero, 21% of them say they would support building a strip club in the same place. From Opinion Research / CNN: Americans are now almost evenly divided on their opinion of Obama versus […]
© Rex Babin It has already become a virtual truism that people who are virulently anti-gay are probably acting out of their closet. With the recent revelation that that anti-immigrant hardliner Meg Whitman employed an illegal alien as a housekeeper for nine years, it seems that the same thing applies to people who condemn illegal […]
“The White House has issued an alert for American tourists traveling in Europe over fears of a terror attack. But the joke’s on you, terrorists. We can’t afford to go to Europe.” – Jimmy Fallon “The State Department has issued a travel warning. They’ve warned Rick Sanchez not to travel to Israel.” – Jay Leno […]
The District of Columbia created an electronic system to make it easier for overseas and military voters to cast ballots over the Internet. I want to point out that this is not some complicated electronic voting system, it is very simple: The voter goes to a website and they get a PDF file of the […]
Recently, Dana Milbank wrote a column about long-time Republicans politicians who are being forced out of office by more radical tea-party candidates. He used as examples, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Bob Bennett of Utah. But a reader wrote him a letter challenging the idea that these were “faithful conservatives” and even accused them of […]
I have nothing but respect for the “chamber of commerce” — the thousands of local organizations that help small businesses and consumers, but most people don’t realize that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (USCC) is completely different. The USCC has become a blatantly partisan organization, running the largest campaign against Democrats in the upcoming election: […]
© Keith Tucker Not just the house, but three dogs and a cat died in the fire. While firefighters were ordered to stand there and do nothing. To me, that is criminal. Especially since the homeowner stood there with an open checkbook and offered to pay whatever it cost to put out the fire. The […]
“Today we found out that a third college that Christine O’Donnell said she attended has no record of ever knowing her. I’m starting to wonder if she ever really went to Hogwarts.” – Bill Maher “I feel bad for my part in this, and then the feeling passes when I imagine her in the Senate […]
© Tom Tomorrow Yes, believe it or not, this really happened. By the same infantile liar who brought down ACORN with his heavily edited and misleading video.
Last week, a home in Tennessee caught fire and the firefighters arrived, but they let the house burn to the ground because the owner had not paid his $75 “subscription fee”. Even when the owner offered to pay the firefighters to save the house, they refused. What’s next? Police who refuse to stop a crime […]
