On John Huntsman, the former Republican Governor of Utah, whom Obama appointed to be ambassador to China, and who is considering a run for president in 2012: “I’m sure that him having worked so well with me will be a great asset in any Republican primary.” – Obama “It’s also good to see Jon Huntsman, […]
“A court has ruled that Rahm Emanuel is not legally allowed to run for mayor of Chicago, which in Chicago I believe means he won.” – Stephen Colbert “A Chicago court ruled former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel can’t run for Mayor of Chicago. However, according to Chicago law, he’s free to purchase […]

What could be more American than football and the Superbowl? Ironically football — as practiced in the US — is socialist. Now, this doesn’t mean I’m promoting socialism. I’m a hard core capitalist and I believe in free enterprise. But I’m also pragmatic enough to realize that there are situations where free market capitalism doesn’t […]
© Clay Bennett Once upon a time, about 50 years ago, we had higher taxes and spent it on things like education and space exploration, which led to the technology and products we enjoy today. But now, a majority of high school biology teachers don’t even teach evolution, ranking us 34th out of 35 developed […]

© Glenn McCoy There seem to be three possibilities for the general riots in Egypt: Mubarak crushes the dissenters, the dissenters force Mubarak to reform the government, or (like Tunisia) Mubarak leaves Egypt. What will happen, or even what would be best for Egypt, is anyone’s guess.
“Obama is huge in the polls these days. His popularity is soaring. Even conservatives are coming around. 30 percent of them now believe Obama deserves a Green Card.” – Bill Maher “It was quite a sight to see Obama next to President Hu. Obama has a Nobel Peace Prize in his basement, and Hu has […]
A democratic revolution in Tunisia. Pro-democracy demonstrations in Egypt. Foreign Policy magazine says “In one fell swoop, the candor of the cables released by WikiLeaks did more for Arab democracy than decades of backstage U.S. diplomacy.” How? They helped the Tunisian people realize that it was obvious to the rest of the world what they […]
© Rex Babin Monday, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia appeared at an event organized by the House Tea Party caucus and Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, but he didn’t attend the State of the Union address the following night. This has caused some people to claim that conservative justices don’t even feel the need to appear […]
This has got to be one of the most juvenile things ever done by Fox News. They took Obama’s State of the Union address and specifically edited it and inserted their own soundtrack of — literally — crickets chirping after Obama makes two slightly humorous comments. Then they make fun of Obama because his jokes […]
Most states have an official state flower, or bird. But a bill introduced in Utah wants to create an official state firearm. And their weapon of choice? The Browning M1911 semi-automatic pistol. Not every politician in Utah supports the measure, questioning whether they should honor semi-automatic pistols — the choice weapon for those who are […]
My question is, does Megyn Kelly actually believe the lies she tells, or does she simply not know the difference between reality and fantasy? ROUND TWO: Bill O’Reilly goes to the defense of Megyn Kelly and shows that he has an equally weak grasp of reality:
