Jon Stewart asks, now that Obama is not defending the Defense of Marriage Act, why is he still enforcing it? Meanwhile, Rick Santorum puts his foot firmly in his mouth trying to defend DOMA.
Presidential candidate Rick Perry is so against federal regulations that he is campaigning against regulations that don’t even exist! According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, at two different speeches in Iowa this last week, Perry claimed “If you’re a tractor driver, if you drive your tractor across a public road, you’re gonna […]

“Some political analysts are saying that President Obama is making many of the same mistakes that President Bush made. Obama said, ‘That’s ridiculous, and if you’ll excuse me, ‘Spongebob’ is on.’” – Conan O’Brien “President Obama took campaign workers out for burgers yesterday and left a 35 percent tip. Man, that guy is so generous […]

Peter Waldron spent 37 days in prison in Uganda in 2006 after he was charged with terrorism for possessing assault rifles and ammunition. The sentence could have been life in prison, but the charges were dropped after the intervention of the Bush administration. Which was good news for Michele Bachmann, since Waldron is now a […]

© Tom Tomorrow I think the Republican primary is going to be very interesting. Can the Republicans wrest control back from not only the Tea Party they helped create, but also from Fox News?

“There have been huge riots in England the past couple of days. People are fighting, throwing rocks, smashing windows. And they’re doing it the hard way, without a soccer game.” – Jay Leno “Here’s what I don’t understand about rioting. If you’re going to destroy a city for no reason, why destroy your own city? […]

Jon Stewart points out the hypocrisy of the mainstream media. They even joke about the fact that they studiously ignore Ron Paul. What I don’t understand is how the media can not take Ron Paul seriously, when they seem to be able to take people like Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, and even Sarah Palin seriously. […]
© Jim Morin Of course, there are differences between Bush and Perry. For example, Bush mostly pretended to be a fundamentalist Christian, while Perry is a full tilt Dominionist, who believes that Christians have a God-mandated right and duty to rule all earthly institutions according to God’s law. UPDATE: Jon Stewart on Rick Perry (including […]
A recent PolitiFact article reminded me of an old saying attributed to Mark Twain: “Figures never lie, but liars figure”. The article rates the truthfulness of a statement by Mitt Romney during the Republican presidential debate last week, where he said that under president JFK “government took up” 27% of the economy, while today it […]
“Newsweek used a photo to make Michele Bachmann appear crazy. That’s what her words are for.” – Jon Stewart “Michele Bachmann is on the cover of the latest issue of Newsweek. Did you see the picture? That’s when you know it’s bad, when even you look surprised you’re running for president.” – Jimmy Fallon “I […]
This comic is from June 1952. I guess the Tea Party has been around for a while.
How can anyone call it class warfare when the case against the rich is being argued by one of the richest men in the world? Warren Buffett is one of the most successful investors ever, and yet he makes an iron-clad case that the US is coddling the super-rich. Buffett points out that he pays […]
© Pat Bagley There have been quite a few comics recently about the riots in England. On one side, the rioters are declared to be low-life criminal scum. On the other side, the rioters are reacting to the destruction of their jobs and way of life by the bankers. Are both views correct?
© Jim Morin Have the Republicans actually done anything at all to create jobs? Well, other than their very tired and utterly refuted refrain that cutting taxes will fix our economy and increase jobs? After all, if cutting taxes leads to job creation, then the end of Dubya’s presidency should have seen employment increasing instead […]
“The United States’ credit rating was downgraded to AA+. Am I the only one who thinks that doesn’t sound so bad?” – Jimmy Kimmel “Standard & Poor’s has lowered our credit rating to AA+, which means no one will lend us money or go to 2nd base with us.” – Conan O’Brien “S&P downgraded the […]
