Bait and Switch

© August J. Pollak Pena also said that if Riddle’s bill passes without the exception “With things as they are today, her bill will see a large segment of the Texas population in prison.” A spokesperson for Riddle claims that the exception was to avoid “stifling the economic engine” in Texas. Have these people become […]

Late Night Political Humor

“Gov. Scott Walker’s dispute with Wisconsin’s labor unions is making him unpopular with his constituents, who feel like he’s attacking his own people. That’s not good, because the only other guy doing that right now is Moammar Gadhafi.” – Jay Leno “Protests continue in Libya. It was reported that most of the protests are being […]

God for President

© Joel Pett I just had a bizarre thought — wouldn’t the GOP be better off if they just ran God for president? After all, the Republicans already worship Reagan as if he were a mythological being.

Late Night Political Humor

“The Senate has sent President Obama a spending bill that gives the government enough money to keep going for two weeks. Our Congress has the financial planning skills of a college sophomore.” – Conan O’Brien “Oprah has been invited by Egypt’s new government to do a show from Cairo.

Do as I say, not as I do

In this week’s conservative hypocritical moment, likely presidential candidate Mike Huckabee condemned Oscar winner Natalie Portman for “glamourising” her out-of-wedlock pregnancy: One of the things that’s troubling is that people see a Natalie Portman or some other Hollywood starlet who boasts of, “Hey look, you know, we’re having children, we’re not married, but we’re having […]

For Whom The Road Tolls

If you attempt to pay a highway toll Florida with a 20 dollar bill (or larger), you could be detained and not allowed to leave until you provide identification. That sounds inconvenient, but detaining someone without legal authority is actually a serious crime. So Florida resident Joel Chandler called and emailed the Florida Department of […]

Late Night Political Humor

“The Middle East has their own Charlie Sheen right now: Moammar Gadhafi.” – Conan O’Brien “Moammar Gadhafi is starting to sound a little crazy. Al-Jazeera canceled his show, ‘Two and a Half Shiites.’” – David Letterman “They’re saying Gadhafi is ‘disconnected from reality.’ According to the State Department, Gadhafi thought this year’s Oscars were fantastic.” […]

You can bank on that

© Matt Davies We know why the states are facing big deficits — because the collapse of the economy lowered tax revenues. And we know who caused the economy to collapse. So why are we punishing state workers? I’m guessing that if you took all those bonuses that were awarded to bankers, it would more […]

More Unnecessary Deficit Spending

A few days ago, I posted a story about the Republicans unanimously voting to give $5 billion a year in subsidies to big oil companies, which even oil company executives said they didn’t need. Well, it happened again. This time, Congress voted to spend $13 billion on not one but two weapon system programs, which […]

Late Night Political Humor

“On a rambling call to a TV station, Gadhafi ranted about his enemies and blamed others for his problems. He said he feels fine and is ready to go back to work. He’s now the Charlie Sheen of Libya.” – Jay Leno “People complained that the Oscars were too dull. They’ve already named the hosts […]
