“The president cancelled a fundraising trip to California next week because of the Syria situation. That’s when you know this is serious.” – Jay Leno “On Tuesday President Obama is planning to address the nation. Instead of calling his plan to attack Syria ‘a war’, he is calling it a ‘limited military intervention’ — which […]
“All eyes are on Obama because of Syria. He wants to use military strikes. Even his allies don’t agree with him. Britain wants to use economic embargoes. France wants to use sarcasm.” – Craig Ferguson “If President Obama really wants to hurt the Syrian government, don’t send cruise missiles. He should end over some of […]
Why are all the pundits upset that we might avoid a war in Syria? Isn’t it a good thing that we might be able to work together with Russia to get a brutal dictator to give up his chemical weapons? I think this is great! What is wrong with us?
“You know what, folks? I miss George W. Bush. That man knew how to sell a war. Obama has hard evidence of weapons of mass destruction and he can’t even get England to go along with it. Meanwhile, President Bush got an international coalition with nothing more than Colin Powell’s reputation and half a test […]
I’m sure most everyone has already seen this, but apparently fewer people than the number who watched the original fake video. My only question is, how much stuff that you and I see on the internet is faked, and how much of that is taken seriously by the so-called journalists in the mainstream media?
© David Horsey The one thing we do know for sure is that no matter what Obama does about Syria, the Republicans will attack him for it. Ironically, because Obama has no really good options, at least from a political viewpoint, this means that he can pick the option that he actually believes is the […]
Republicans claim to be the party of personal responsibility. They don’t need Obamacare, they can take care of themselves, right? Which is why it is ironic that a poll found that significantly more Republicans are taking advantage of the provision of Obamacare that requires insurance plans to insure children up to the age of 26. […]
“The United States has no choice but to attack Syria because Dictator Bashar al-Assad is killing his own people with chemical weapons. Before, he was just killing them with bullets. But if America cared about shooting people, we’d be invading Chicago.” – Stephen Colbert “I guess we’re getting ready to attack Syria. But if we […]
Just a few years ago, California was a laughingstock. It was nearly bankrupt, its infrastructure was crumbling, and you couldn’t get the two political parties to agree on anything. Sound familiar? Kinda like our national politics now? Just two years ago, the idea that California could be a global model for anything was laughable. When […]
© Ruben Bolling Why do we keep assuming, against all evidence to the contrary, that we can just waltz into a country, kill some people and leave, and everyone will live happily ever after. It’s almost like a fairy tale, where every stubborn political problem has a simple military solution. Or maybe it does, if […]
It makes me sick to read about televangelist (and former presidential candidate) Pat Robertson scamming hundreds of millions of dollars from followers to supposedly save lives after the crisis in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) in 1994. Instead, very little of that money was used for aid, with a large part […]
“Anybody ever studied at Donald Trump University? The attorney general says it’s a fraudulent operation. Here’s all I know. It’s the only college where you can actually major in condo flipping.” – David Letterman “The attorney general of New York is now suing Donald Trump for $40 million claiming that Trump University is a fraud. […]
© Matt Bors I’m not sure what to think about Syria. But I pretty much have the same questions about Syria as I did about Iraq. What is the goal of our attacking Syria? Is it to depose Assad, like we did with Saddam Hussein? If so, what happens after we do that? Do we […]
“U.S. warships are heading toward Syria. It’s going to be kind of an enjoyable switch for Obama. Now he can start a war that the next president will be stuck with.” – David Letterman “Vice President Joe Biden said today that ‘Syria must be held accountable.’ Unfortunately, the Obama administration has never employed an accountant, […]
