Warning, this video is not safe for work, partly because you’ll laugh out loud — a dramatic reading with Jane Lynch of Congressman Anthony Weiner’s sexting:
“Comedy people sit around for years hoping for a scandal called ‘Weinergate.’ And then it happens.” – Conan O’Brien Congressman Weiner reportedly called Bill Clinton to apologize for his behavior. After Bill suggested that Weiner also call Hillary, Weiner said, ‘Don’t worry, I sent her a text.’” – Conan O’Brien “What?! The congressman had a […]
Daniel Ellsberg points out that thanks to the Patriot Act and similar laws, all of Nixon’s crimes would be perfectly legal today. Watergate would be legal, Ellsberg himself would probably be rotting in jail, and who knows when (or even if) the Vietnam war would have ended. We have not learned our lessons from history, […]
© Matt Bors Alabama governor Robert Bentley signed into law the nation’s nastiest immigration law, which requires local police to detain anyone suspected of being an undocumented immigrant. You can easily guess how that will end up — anyone who looks the slightest bit Mexican will get hassled and will have to carry citizenship papers […]
“The list of women who got sexy pics from Anthony Weiner keeps growing. As of now it’s a porn star, a single mom from Texas, a blackjack dealer, and a student from Seattle. Is this a sex scandal or the next cast of Survivor? ‘Survivor: Weiner Island.’” – Craig Ferguson “He said there were six […]

© Ed Stein The economy continues to lurch along, gaining a little bit of steam, then falling back again. Unemployment stays stubbornly around 9%, homes are still being foreclosed at a ferocious rate, and the housing industry remains in a deep funk, Meanwhile, official Washington is consumed with the debate over the debt ceiling. Will […]
Conservatives continue to claim that major institutions like the media and universities have a liberal bias. Minnesota Republican Michele Bachmann went as far as to introduce a law that would make it illegal for university professors to discriminate against students who hold conservative views. But a new study shows that this type of bias does […]
[Brilliant satire, reprinted from Bullseye Rooster by Fred Wickham] The Ryan Senior Voucher Plan has been pretty well misrepresented by the liberal-left-loonies-on-lorazepam battalions. Here’s what it isn’t: it isn’t pretty, but pretty doesn’t win sailboat races. Here’s what it is: it’s pretty sensible. You give us cash, we give you vouchers for up to 50% […]
Last night, someone hacked my website and destroyed the WordPress database. Luckily, I had a backup that was less than 24 hours old. I restored the database from the backup. While I did not lose any of my posts, unfortunately, any comments made yesterday were likely lost forever. Feel free to repost your comments if […]
© Tom Toles Bill Clinton was impeached not for having sex with an intern, but for lying about it. Likewise, people say they are upset at Anthony Weiner not because he tweeted a photo of himself in his underwear, but because he denied it. And yet — except about their private lives — people practically […]
“It’s official. It turns out it was Weiner’s weiner. At a press conference this afternoon, Congressman Anthony Weiner admitted that he tweeted out that photo of his crotch. During the press conference, Congressman Weiner was choked up and got a lump in this throat – not as big as the lump in his underwear, but […]
© Jeff Danziger No, I absolutely am not making this up. Rick Santorum, in his speech announcing he was running for the Republican nomination for president, declared that the D-Day Troops fought for freedom from Medicare. Almost 60,000 average Americans had the courage to go out and charge those beaches on Normandy, to drop out […]
Barack Obama has promised that he will not extend the Bush Tax Cuts again, saying that any deal to raise the country’s debt ceiling would include revenue increases. Republicans insist that any deal will be restricted to spending cuts and entitlement reforms. A showdown appears inevitable. Let’s make sure Obama keeps his promise. In order […]
An interesting article in the Washington Post talks about the increase in misquotes of the founding fathers, and blames it on the internet, where incorrect information is repeated so much that even politicians think it is true. Here are a few examples: “Thomas Jefferson wrote that government is best that governs least.” – Senator Rand […]
