“A new national poll found that Hillary Clinton is now more than 30 points ahead of Bernie Sanders among Democratic voters. I don’t want to say Hillary is overconfident, but at her last rally, she just stood behind the podium and drank champagne. ‘I got this.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Tomorrow is the third Democratic presidential […]
During Sunday night’s Democratic debate, the Republican National Committee did something unusual. They sent out four real-time emails to reporters defending Bernie Sanders against attacks from Hillary Clinton. One of the emails defended Sanders’ single-payer health care plan. Another offered a rebuttal to Clinton’s attack on Sanders over gun control. A third defended Sanders’ argument […]
“Last night was the fifth Republican debate, and at one point Donald Trump was interrupted by a heckler yelling at him from offstage.

Like most Republican candidates, Marco Rubio condemned Obama’s negotiated release of prisoners from Iran, just like they condemned the nuclear deal that Obama negotiated to lift sanctions against Iran in exchange for Iran giving up their nuclear weapons ambitions. Iran released five prisoners, including Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, who was convicted of espionage. In […]
[I’m a bit behind on posting these. Sorry. Ironically, the jokes are still all pretty much the same. – iron] “A new poll found that Hillary Clinton is now increasing her lead over Bernie Sanders. Experts say Bernie would need something major to regain people’s attention. Then Bernie was like, ‘All right, leak the sex […]
A few gas stations in Michigan have lowered their price to below $1/gallon. Thanks Obama! Actually, I’m serious about thanking Obama. After all, his agreement with Iran has paved the way for them to start selling their oil, which is driving prices down. Iran has the fourth largest oil reserves in the world.
© Ruben Bolling Another sendup of one of my favorite ironic things – how Americans are scared shitless by relatively minor risks, while ignoring other risks that kill orders of magnitudes more people all the time. We are willing to spend trillions of dollars fighting this thing called “terrorism” (despite the fact that we aren’t […]
“Some good news for the White House. They just announced that Obamacare added a million new customers in its third open-enrollment season.

During the Republican debate this week, Ted Cruz referred derisively to Donald Trump’s “New York Values“. So New York gave Cruz the city’s official bird: The New York Post got in a jab against Cruz as well, saying about his “New York Values” jab: That line aimed to get Iowa voters to contrast him with […]
“I saw that after his recent comments about Muslims, Donald Trump was fired as a global ambassador for Scotland. Which is ironic, ‘cuz if there were ever a human version of bagpipes, it’s Donald Trump.” – Jimmy Fallon “A Middle Eastern retail chain called Lifestyle announced that it’s pulling Donald Trump’s home decor products from […]
I guess you can’t get much more odd than the current presidential candidates, so you may as well bet on the odds. And you can. For the first time ever, the Atlantic Lottery Corporation (located in Canada) is taking bets on the US presidential election. Here are the current payouts, based on a bet of […]
“Donald Trump skipped an RNC event here in New York City today called the Presidential Trust Dinner, even though his campaign said he would go. Then Chris Christie said, ‘So, does that mean there’s an extra plate at the dinner?’” – Jimmy Fallon “Last night was the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on CBS, and […]
On Tuesday I did a post about Ted Cruz, asking how conservatives could be fooled by his flimsy tea party credentials when he is married to an investment banker who works for Goldman Sachs. Well, it is worse than that. In a story published on Wednesday, the New York Times discloses that the Cruzes lied […]
© Pat Bagley Here’s a good summary of Obama’s final State of the Union address. Right-wing media has convinced a lot of people that Obama is destroying our economy, sending illegal immigrants to take our jobs, waging war on Christmas, and plotting to take away our guns. But when you are dealing with voters who […]
“The most popular reality TV show in America right now is Donald Trump’s campaign for president. Trump, yesterday, proposed a ‘total and complete shutdown’ of Muslims coming into the United States.
