Looks like a Duck, Quacks like a Duck?

© Rosemary Mosco I think this comic is being too kind — “greedy narcissistic sociopath” would be more accurate. Scientists are in almost total agreement that climate change is caused by human activity, and that it will have disastrous consequences. It is already costing us billions of dollars. Anyone who denies this, just to get […]

Parables

© Ruben Bolling That’s the ironic thing about the Bible. It can be used to justify almost anything. Isn’t that why the founders were careful to separate church from state? Not that I’m anti-religion. I just want to be able to cherry pick the parts I believe in like everyone else. What parts do I […]

Late Night Political Humor

“Yesterday, the White House confirmed that President Obama will meet with Pope Francis during his visit in September. Some experts are wondering if they’ll discuss their disagreement over contraception. Then Joe Biden said, ‘I didn’t even know they were dating.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Yeah, the president will meet with Pope Francis at the White House […]

John Fugelsang

I want to welcome John Fugelsang to my blogroll. Well, at least his twitter feed. Fugelsang got my attention recently with the quote “Ted Cruz is the Abraham Lincoln of Sarah Palins.” His motto is: “Jesus never called the poor ‘lazy’, fought for tax cuts for the wealthiest Nazarenes or asked a leper for a […]

Death Row

Anthony Ray Hinton spent 30 years on death row, the whole time proclaiming his innocence. The evidence used to convict Hinton of two murders was always poor. There were no eyewitnesses, no fingerprints, no physical evidence at all other than a supposed link between a set of bullets and a gun owned by Hinton’s mother. […]

It is almost enough to make you feel sorry for Jeb Bush. The headline in the New York Times reads “Jeb Bush Seems to Shift Tone in His Praise of Indiana Law“. Yes, presidential candidate Jeb Bush is now backing away from his formerly full-throated support for the Indiana “religious freedom” law that is causing […]

Late Night Political Humor

“Yesterday presidential candidate Ted Cruz said that he will in fact be signing up for Obamacare despite saying earlier that he wants to repeal every word of it. It’s a good thing he’s signing up, because Cruz just went to the hospital in hypocritical condition.” – Jimmy Fallon “Ted Cruz is signing up for Obamacare. […]

First Church of Cannabis

At first I thought this was an April fools joke, but the original article was published in the Washington Post on March 30, so I assume it is legit. In the wake of Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration act, which prevents the state from “substantially burdening” a person’s exercise of religion (even if it violates the […]

Late Night Political Humor

“During a recent interview, President Obama revealed that he doesn’t always get enough sleep. And I think I speak for everyone when I say, ‘Good! We pay you to worry about stuff so WE can sleep. That’s why you are the president.’” – Jimmy Fallon “President Obama admitted that he doesn’t get enough sleep. But […]

GOP Insults

There is a new “insult generator” that has an interesting twist. Insult generators are those websites that string together random words to insult someone or something. But the new one doesn’t do it randomly. It is the “Tea Party Insult Generator” and the twist is that it uses actual insults posted on John Boehner’s Facebook […]
