“President Obama said he’d be OK being a one-term President. And with that he shoved an iPhone down his pants and pressed ‘send’.” – Conan O’Brien “When asked about the Congressman Weiner scandal, President Obama said that if it were him, he’d resign. When Bill Clinton was asked about the same thing he said, ‘If […]
Robert Reich explains what went wrong with our economy in just over two minutes: Reich was Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton, when the economy was booming and the deficit was eliminated. He also served in the administration of Republican President Ford. And you know what? Despite all the misinformation being thrown around right now, […]
An article in ABC News points out the hypocrisy of how our political system deals with scandals. Representative Anthony Weiner has resigned, but what was strange about this whole episode was that both Democratic and Republican leaders immediately called for Weiner to resign. Nancy Pelosi has never called for a fellow Democrat to resign, until […]
A huge fight is happening in New York State over a bill legalizing gay marriage, introduced by Governor Cuomo on Tuesday. Leading the opposition is Catholic Archbishop Timothy Dolan, who equated the bill (without irony) to life in China or North Korea, where “government presumes daily to ‘redefine’ rights, relationships, values and natural law. Please, […]
© Jim Morin The Republicans keep repeating the lie that the Democrats don’t have a plan to balance the budget, but they do, and it is a surprisingly good and balanced plan. Not only does it do all of the things listed in the above comic, it eliminates the deficit in 10 years. This is […]
© Henry Payne If it weren’t so pitiful and cowardly, it would be funny. Especially watching Mitt Romney trying to explain how Obama’s health care reform is completely different from his own health care reform, which mainly boils down to “mine isn’t called Obamacare“. Does it scare anyone else that Michelle Bachmann came off during […]

According to an article in Politico, if you don’t like the political opinions expressed by conservative talk radio hosts like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, or even Rush Limbaugh, you can pay them to have different opinions. Limbaugh regularly promotes the Heritage Foundation, and even encourages people to contribute money to it. Same thing for Hannity. […]
“Congressman Weiner has entered a treatment program. Amazingly, it’s the only thing he’s entered during the entire Weinergate scandal.” – Conan O’Brien “Congressman Anthony Weiner has just checked himself into a treatment centre for people battling chronic sexual dysfunction. Checked in? He’s already there, it’s called Congress.” – Jay Leno “It’s so sunny today that […]

House Speaker John Boehner is a fierce critic of government spending, but that didn’t stop him from improperly spending half a million dollars of money on an outside law firm to defend DOMA — the defense of marriage act. According to the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), Boehner violated the […]
“Democrats and Republicans are calling for Congressman Anthony Weiner to resign. Late night comedians are asking him to hang in there.” – Conan O’Brien “The Chairman of the Republican Party Ed Cox said that he would use the incriminating pictures from Anthony Weiner to defeat him. So now we have Cox versus Weiner. This just […]
© Tom Toles Republicans, who voted against every single bill that Obama came up with to help jumpstart the economy, spent their debate last night attacking Obama for not doing enough about the economy. But their only answer is lower taxes, which ignores the fact that one third of the cost of Obama’s stimulus bill […]
© Clay Bennett Tell me again why everyone is calling for Weiner to resign? Did he do something illegal? He never even had physical sex with any of these women, and the sexting was consensual. How can Democrats or Republicans call for Weiner to resign, when Bill Clinton didn’t resign (or get removed from office) […]
