In the aftermath of the crash of the housing bubble, banks went on a foreclosure spree, even foreclosing on houses on which they didn’t hold a mortgage. But supposedly they cleaned up their act. Or did they? According to publicly available records, one Bank, the Bank of America, in a single county alone, has sued […]
According to a story by Seymour Hersh in The New Yorker, between 2005 and 2007, US was secretly training members of a known terrorist group. So if someone (like you or me) donated some money to the group, they could be jailed for supporting terrorism, but the US government provided training in the use of […]
This is not only ironic on so many different levels, it is hilarious and yet serious at the same time.
Ranker has a funny round-up of Rick Santorum jokes. Here are a few they collected from Twitter: Breaking: Rick Santorum to “suspend” his presidential campaign. But he won’t terminate it without forcing it to get an ultrasound first. “For a few short months back in 2012 ‘Santorum’ meant shitty banal rube, not shitty anal lube. […]
© Clay Bennett I’m almost afraid of posting comics like this one, since it might give the Republicans an idea.
“The earth’s population is now well past 7 billion people. And still, the Republicans can’t find one candidate they really like.” – Jay Leno “Rick Santorum’s campaign is now formally calling on Newt Gingrich to drop out of the race. But you know Newt. He has vowed to stay in. And believe me, when Newt […]
Every candidate (reportedly) endorsed by God has now lost to Mitt Romney. I believe this is the final nail in the coffin for celebrity endorsements for political candidates. The end — sorry, um, suspension — of Rick Santorum’s presidential campaign is a major milestone in the primary race, clearing the way, as it does, for Mitt Romney […]
© Tom Toles I wonder how many people the Obama campaign has going over what Romney said during the primary campaign and ready to compare it to what he says during the actual election. Quite a few, if this is any indication. This is going to be interesting.
Now that Rick Santorum has officially suspended his campaign, the only things in the way of Mitt Romney are Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich. In other words, we now know who the Republican candidate for president will be. So I guess it is time to start examining the record of Mittens in earnest. We all […]
The Supreme Court may have a chance to reconsider their decision in Citizens United. The state of Montana claims that they have the right to limit corporate spending in state elections. It will be interesting to see if the court has the guts to reverse their boneheaded Citizens United decision. Or as two of the […]
Reagan and Obama agree on the Buffett Rule. I guess Republicans will oppose anything Obama does, even if it means disagreeing with their Saint Ronnie. UPDATE: Picking up on this, Obama has offered to change the name of the bill to the “Reagan Rule“: Some years ago, one of my predecessors traveled across the country […]
© Keith Knight I’m waiting for a definition of “activist judge” that isn’t just “does things I don’t like”.
“Congratulations to Mitt Romney, the big winner in yesterday’s primary. He won in Wisconsin. Rick Santorum finished second. Newt Gingrich came in fourth behind Ron Paul. But Wisconsin was not a total loss for Newt. He did make off with a 45-pound wheel of cheese.” – Jay Leno “Last night Mitt Romney went three for […]
While the Republicans seem to throw all their energy into winning political battles, they have a very short attention span when it comes to actually governing. Their emphasis is on tactics, not on strategy. So while they somehow managed to win the 2010 midterm elections, they fumbled the ball after that. And overturning health care […]
