© Jimmy Margulies Or as Palin puts it, she is “weighing a run” — anchors a-weigh! A former Palin insider explains why she runs. UPDATE: Sarah Palin gets basic civics information terribly wrong. One gets the feeling that she and reality are not good friends. Did she quit social studies class in school half way […]
© Tom Tomorrow Has anyone else noticed that when there was lots of snow last winter, there were lots of grumblings about global warming being a myth, but now with all the crazy weather-related disasters, there is eerie silence? The silence doesn’t bother me — weather is not the same thing as climate, after all […]
© Jim Morin According to Paul Krugman, not only is Paul Ryan lying, he is a sore loser. Republicans responded to modest and realistic cost control efforts in Obama’s health care reform bill with screams of “death panels”, but it seems that they don’t actually care about seniors dying. Not only would the Ryan budget […]
“One of Sarah Palin’s supporters is about to release a documentary about her called ‘The Undefeated.’ That’s like a documentary about Arnold Schwarzenegger called ‘The Faithful.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Someone made a two-hour documentary about Sarah Palin’s political life. In case you’re interested in watching a movie that’s longer than Palin’s actual political life.’” – […]
An article in the Christian Science Monitor draws an interesting comparison between the swaggering bravado of George W. Bush and his dressing up in a flight suit and declaring “Mission Accomplished” and Barack Obama, who actually accomplished the mission of bringing the perpetrator of 9/11 to (some kind of) justice. According to the former Afghan […]
“The world was supposed to end last Saturday but at the last minute, it was picked up for another season.” – Jimmy Kimmel “Harold Camping, who predicted the end of the world, says the new date for the apocalypse is October 21. If it rains, it will be October 22.” – David Letterman “The preacher […]

AmeriPAC, a conservative Republican political action committee, sent out a fundraising letter recently that accused Democrats of banning incandescent light bulbs: The Democrats have already voted to BAN our conventional lights bulbs (that you and I use even today!) in favor of DANGEROUS fluorescent light bulbs. … Help put an end to governmental interference in […]
“The pastor who incorrectly predicted the Rapture said it was a very tough weekend. To make it worse, his friends keep calling him saying, “Hey, it’s not the end of the world!” – Conan O’Brien “The good news is, the apocalypse did not happen. The bad news is, we thought it would so we don’t […]
“A Christian minister has crunched the numbers, looked at the 8 Ball, and in two hours, the Rapture begins. That’s when the really devout, extra-sure-of-themselves fundamentalist Christians will just disappear — or as I call it, a win-win.” – Bill Maher “Merry Apocalypse Eve. This minister says the world is going to end. I just […]
Vermont becomes the first state to take the first step toward single-payer health insurance for all. If all goes as planned, the state will adopt single-payer by 2017. Not only will the plan save money, but it will eliminate the need for employers to provide health insurance to their workers, creating jobs. And even more […]
Republicans complain loudly about deficits, and yet they still find lots of money to fund their pet projects. Here are some examples: Earlier this month, I posted a story about Texas wanting to give tax breaks to buyers of luxury yachts (costing over a quarter of a million dollars), while the state is running a […]
“Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver have put their former mansion on the market for $23.5 million. It’s not that clean though, because they had a maid but she was always busy doing other stuff.” – Jimmy Fallon “Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a child with a maid, and now the kid is mad at her for lying […]
