“The Obama administration has been slammed for a health insurance rule that forces Catholic organizations to provide contraception. Even more controversial, the church would also have to provide dim lighting, wine coolers, and an R. Kelly mix tape.” – Conan O’Brien “Former presidential candidate Jon Huntsman is on the show tonight. If you know anything […]
© Jim Morin © Lee Judge I’m still convinced that the Republicans will eventually come to their senses, and realize that Rick Santorum, while being the ideal ultra-conservative, is so far out of the mainstream that he has no chance of getting elected. I mean, someone who wants to outlaw birth control even for married […]
“President Obama has ordered new sanctions against Iran’s central bank for engaging in deceptive practices. I’ve got a better idea, how about sanctions against OUR banks for deceptive practices?” – Jay Leno “One of the most talked about [Super Bowl] commercials was the one with Clint Eastwood, where he said, ‘It’s halftime in America, and […]
© Adam Zyglis The whole bruhaha about birth control was just a political stunt. Twenty eight states already require the Catholic Church to cover birth control in their insurance policies, and 97% of Catholic women have used birth control at sometime in their life.
Since when does religious freedom equal the freedom for religions to control the lives of people, even people who don’t believe in their religion? Religious freedom is the freedom for people (not corporations as people, not churches as people, but real people) to practice whatever religion they please, without interference from the government. So how […]
I was pleasantly surprised by an editorial by conservative George Will condemning Republicans for saying that Obama is weak on defense. By George, Will wonders never cease! Here are two quotes from it, but the whole thing is short and definitely worth a read. The U.S. defense budget is about 43 percent of the world’s […]
© Derf In the current Republican race, what’s important is not the winner of the latest primary or caucus, what’s important is who is losing. After all, all of the current candidates have won at least once (except for Ron Paul). As candidates lose momentum and drop out, the winner will not be the person […]
“It is Mormon in America again. What a week Mitt Romney had. He won Florida. It looks like he’s on the way to the nomination. If only he could stop talking.” – Bill Maher “Romney won the Florida primary with 47 percent of the vote. Or as it’s known in Florida schools, a B minus.” […]
© Ed Stein Why in the world do we spend billions of dollars spying on people? How much do we spend on the CIA, or on spy satellites? All you have to do is set up a social network and people will tell complete strangers everything about their lives, including photos (who needs spy cameras?). […]
“Donald Trump announced that he’s endorsing Mitt Romney for president. It was really nice. Trump was like, ‘There’s only one man with the brains, the skills, and the charisma to be president — but since I’m not running, you might as well vote for Mitt Romney.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Romney was endorsed by Donald Trump. […]
The Susan G Komen for the Cure foundation has gone into full damage-control mode in order to reverse the perception that they let politics affect their charity work … by “getting help on crisis communication from Ari Fleischer“, former White House press secretary for the George W Bush administration. Sheesh. And be sure to read […]
“Mitt Romney is getting some heat today for something he said on CNN. He said he’s not concerned about the very poor. I’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to say that out loud. Romney said the quote was taken out of context. And that he absolutely cares about the poor. In fact, his campaign bus […]
It is going to be a bitter, nasty presidential election. This weekend a secretive 3-day long fundraising conference hosted by the Koch brothers netted $100 million in pledges to fund efforts to defeat Obama in the 2012 election. Most of this money will be funneled through super PACs to get around campaign financing restrictions, something […]
Clint Eastwood in a stirring commercial aired by Chrysler during the Superbowl: Ironically, Eastwood is a libertarian-leaning Republican who endorsed John McCain in the 2008 presidential election. UPDATE: Think this ad is political? Then you should read this. Why aren’t you complaining about the Skechers ad that is clearly a metaphor for Newt Gingrich’s campaign […]
“I don’t know whether Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich won but we do know one thing for certain: tomorrow both of them can go back to ignoring Latinos.” – Stephen Colbert “Despite his big loss in Florida Newt Gingrich vows to stay in the GOP race. And we all know when Newt takes a vow […]
