“For tomorrow’s debate, President Obama’s advisers have been working with him to keep his responses short. In fact, the only words the president plans on saying are ‘bin Laden’ and ‘dead.’ That’s it.” – Conan O’Brien “I understand they are going to have ‘fact checkers’ standing by — just in case either candidate happens to […]
© Matt Davies Less than two days after Romney complained that unemployment hadn’t dropped below 8% during Obama’s administration, the unemployment rate fell from 8.1% to 7.8%. So when Romney was saying that, unemployment was already below 8%. So of course, the Republicans respond by accusing the president of cooking the books, calling the unemployment […]
Steve Martin has created one of the most eccentric political endorsements ever:
I’ll let Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert have the last words on the debate:
“The presidential debate is on Wednesday. Mitt Romney has been preparing for the debate by debating a Republican senator who plays the part of President Obama. Meanwhile, President Obama has been preparing for Romney by debating an ATM machine.” – Conan O’Brien “The math behind how Romney can give everyone a 20% tax cut without […]

The National Memo did the math, so that you don’t have to (and because Romney won’t). Last night, Mitt Romney promised to eliminate our $1.3 trillion annual deficit without raising any taxes. How will he do this? First, reduce deductions for the wealthy. Well, that’s only $165 billion if you eliminate all deductions for the […]
“There are 40 days left until the election. A lot can happen in 40 days — Obama can make a gaffe, Mitt could win the debates, God can send a flood to destroy all mankind. So, there’s hope.” – Stephen Colbert “The presidential debates begin on Wednesday. Romney has taken two days off to prepare. […]
In the debate tonight, while I was happy to hear Mitt Romney actually own up to Romneycare and how it improved things in Massachusetts, in order to do it he had to lie. Romney claimed that he never proposed Romneycare as a model for national health care reform, but only for states. He’s lying. Secondly, […]
© Jen Sorensen It is true. After some early success in recruiting women into the field of computer science, the number of women receiving CS degrees has been going down dramatically since then — despite the fact that there is strong demand for computer workers regardless of sex. The study mentioned in the first panel […]
“Mitt Romney’s campaign said Obama is spiking the ball too early in Ohio after recent polls show Obama pulling ahead. Obama hasn’t earned that win yet, which is why today the NFL replacement refs just gave it to him anyway.” – Jimmy Fallon “Can prayer save this election? Picking Paul Ryan was certainly a hail […]
© Jim Morin This is the most praise they have given each other since the campaign started!
“A new poll found that Mitt Romney is behind in Florida by 1 percent. Which is weird because if there’s one group that loves Romney, it’s definitely the 1 percent.” – Jimmy Fallon “Mitt Romney’s campaign is $11 million in debt. This is the guy that’s going to fix our economy?” – David Letterman “I […]
Romney and the Republicans claim that they would be better at creating jobs, even though they recently blocked another jobs bill from Obama. Remember, their solution to creating jobs is to cut taxes on the rich job creators (well, that and outlaw abortion and gay marriage). And we know how well that worked when they […]
