Late Night Political Humor

“Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are both against gay marriage. Really, against gay marriage? I tell you, the problem with this is they’d make such a cute couple.” – David Letterman “Rick Santorum looks like a guy running for student council.” – David Letterman “Newt Gingrich is against same-sex marriage. Well, actually, he’s against same-marriage […]

We’ve been Framed!

© Lee Judge At the recently held Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) a panel session discussed that the fight against birth control wasn’t working. As this comic points out, how can the Catholics call birth control a deeply held religious belief when not only have 97% of Catholic women used birth control, but a majority […]

Honest Graft

Insider trading is bad, illegal, and morally wrong. Unless of course if you are a member of Congress. Then it is just “honest graft”. Why go to all the trouble of bribing a Congressperson with campaign contributions, when you can just give them some insider information that can make them rich, legally?

Late Night Political Humor

“Congratulations to Mitt Romney. He got an honorary Grammy for best spoken word for being able to speak out of both sides of his mouth at the same time.” – Jay Leno “Some election news. This weekend was the Maine caucuses. And here’s the crazy part — Adele actually won that, too.” – Jimmy Fallon […]

Religion is Big Business

© Brian McFadden I’m definitely not anti-religion, but it seems crazy to me that we give huge (as much as 100%) tax breaks to churches to run normal businesses, and they even get to make profits. Doesn’t that violate the establishment clause since it allows the government to decide what is a religion, and then […]

The Power of the Internet

© Matt Bors I don’t know about the Matrix, but the big question about the Internet is how long it will take for corporations to figure out how to co-opt it, the same way they did the media, restaurants, and rock & roll.

Late Night Political Humor

“We have a new frontrunner for the Republicans, Rick Santorum… the little creep that could.” – Bill Maher “Rick Santorum said he was concerned about the Pentagon’s new policy allowing women closer to front-line combat, noting that men would have emotions seeing a woman in harm’s way, which I have to say is a compelling […]

Supreme Constitutionalist

The conservative rag American Spectator is calling for Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to resign. They say “If she can no longer support and defend the Constitution, as she is sworn to do, she should leave — and take the New York Times with her.” What brought this on? It turns out that during […]

Selective Religion

Republicans have been accusing Obama of waging war on the Catholic Church, if not on religion in general, because he won’t let the church have its way on issues like birth control. However, the same politicians who are attacking Obama have voted against the Catholic Church in a number of other (even bigger) policy issues. […]

Late Night Political Humor

“Mitt Romney said today that he learned something. There are things that money can’t buy — like Colorado, Minnesota, Missouri.” – Jay Leno “Romney’s campaign is in such bad shape, today he moved the part in his hair even further to the right.” – Jay Leno “This Saturday is the drawing for one of the […]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Bain Capitalism Run Amok

© Tom Tomorrow I usually don’t like comics like this, where they make fun of a politician for something they didn’t actually do (especially when there are plenty of things they did do that are just as bad). But this one is making a good (albeit subtle) point. The vampire capitalism practiced by companies like […]

Late Night Political Humor

“Mitt Romney lost all three of the primaries. Today, he begged Donald Trump to take back his endorsement.” – David Letterman “Romney was at a loss to explain why he dropped the ball. In fact, his wife is now blaming it on the New England Patriot receivers.” – Jay Leno “It was a big setback […]

Babysitting While White?

Everyone has heard about the common offense (at least in police eyes) of “Driving While Black” but this is a new twist. A white man who is babysitting his 5-year-old black granddaughter is hassled (more than once) by police. Mind you, we are only seeing one side of this story, but his account certainly has […]

O’Really?

Has anyone checked the temperature in hell recently? Fox News host Bill O’Reilly has written a column that I completely agree with! In fact, it is downright reasonable. O’Reilly defends JC Penney’s right to hire Ellen DeGeneres as a spokesperson. She is openly gay, and at least one conservative group is calling for JC Penney […]
