© Clay Bennett A must read article on Juan Cole’s website by Anthony Orlando points out that not only has the theory of trickle down economics been completely disproven, but there never was any evidence of it. A quick look at the historical record shows that. Economists at the International Monetary Fund looked at 140 […]
The GOP has gone off the deep end. There is no other way to report this than with humor, and Jon Stewart is the best.
It looks like the once hard-hitting “60 Minutes” news program has completely lost its way. I already posted about their fluff piece for Amazon (and I love Amazon!). Then they totally bungled a report on Benghazi. And now they do an even worse fluff piece on the NSA, even letting the NSA control what everyone […]
“Some are saying that while at Nelson Mandela’s memorial, President Obama flirted with the female prime minister of Denmark right in front of Michelle Obama. Man, if President Obama felt that the flight to South Africa was long, can you imagine the way home?” – Conan O’Brien “Obama is facing a lot of criticism after […]
[excerpted from “The Everlasting GOP Stoppers” by Marc Belisle] BREAKING: US Navy Strikes North Pole, Obama Declares ‘War on Christmas’, Claus’ Fate Unknown In a tense press conference with the conservative media, President Obama announced late Tuesday that US Navy destroyers deployed in the Arctic Circle were firing Tomahawk cruise missiles in a campaign to […]
A hilarious factoid in The Economist from a poll of married couples, asking whether both spouses always voted the same way. 73% of the married men said yes. “The wives’ response? Just 49% said yes.” Also interesting is that unmarried women, who accounted for nearly a quarter of all votes cast in the 2012 presidential […]
“This winter storm has left thousands without electricity. It’s as if President Obama had taken over the power companies.” – Jay Leno “Last week a man was locked in an airplane for several hours after he fell asleep during a flight and nobody woke up him up when it landed. But other than that, Joe […]
If you watched the videos in the previous post, you saw Megyn Kelly claiming that Santa is white. Well, here’s Kelly defending her remarks by (as usual) going on the attack. She claims that her comments were “tongue in cheek” and that the people who got upset about them have no sense of humor: Since […]
The Daily Show weighs in on the War on Christmas: But it just keeps getting stranger. Fox News informs us that Santa Claus is white. That’s right, Fox News is actually arguing about the ethnicity of a mythical person. Oh, and Jesus was white too. Remember, Fox News says that you can’t change facts to […]
© Ruben Bolling Sometimes real life is stranger than fiction. The inspiration for this comic started with a small disagreement in a small town in Texas over what to call the holiday party at an elementary school. As in the comic, Fox News jumped on this and printed a story that may have a teeny […]
“Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is an entertaining fellow, the gift that keeps on giving. According to police reports, Ford once did heroin with gang members. In his defense, Ford said, ‘We had to, they were completely out of crack’.” – Conan O’Brien “Toronto Mayor Rob Ford reiterated that he should be re-elected mayor of Toronto […]
Despite the fact that the vast majority of climate scientists agree that climate change is real and is caused by man-made emissions — and a strong majority of Americans agree — the GOP is still deep in denial. Why? Probably because their corporate benefactors tell them to be. But ironically, it may not matter. Because […]
“Obamacare is still struggling to get off the ground. Experts now say the success or failure of Obamacare will depend on whether young people sign up. Which is why as of today it covers medical marijuana.” – Conan O’Brien “Today gang members were caught on wiretaps saying they have photos of Mayor Rob Ford doing […]
© Tom Tomorrow Where have all the compassionate conservatives gone?
How can conservatives put up with their pundits, who are such self-righteous whiners? Ironically, as Christians fight for the right to freely express their religion, they are opening up the door to free expression of other religions. After all, doesn’t the constitution guarantee the same rights to Muslims as it does for Christians? Indeed, The […]
