“Much to the dismay of many Republicans, a new report said Donald Trump is still leading in the polls, and one voter was quoted as saying, ‘Unfortunately, I’m leaning toward Trump.’ Even worse, that voter was Jeb Bush.” – Jimmy Fallon “A word association poll found the words most associated with Donald Trump are idiot, […]
Can it really be true? Is the famously anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church actually condemning Kim Davis and saying that she should issue marriage licenses to gay people? They actually accuse her of causing gay marriage to become legal. Along with a number of tweets, the “church” published the following statement, saying that they were going […]
“Lawyers for Kim Davis say the embattled county clerk was given a secret audience with Pope Francis last Thursday. And since it was a workday, her schedule was wide open.” – Seth Meyers “While visiting America, Pope Francis secretly met with Kim Davis, the county clerk who denied marriage licenses to gay couples. At first […]
I like Bernie Sanders, and I’m really happy he is running for president. He brings a breath of fresh air to a country where the conversation has sometimes swung way too far to the right. But the debate last night highlighted why I would rather he not win the presidency. He conflates two things that […]
Actual sound clips from Donald Trump, acted out by your drunk neighbor. You know, that guy who lives near you who has a drinking problem:

“President Obama and Vladimir Putin met yesterday at the U.N., but the White House and the Kremlin have been disagreeing about who asked whom to meet. For my younger viewers, that means they were arguing about who swiped right first.” – Jimmy Fallon “While in New York City, President Obama and Vladimir Putin met and […]

“Pope Francis wrapped up his trip to the U.S., and while he was in Philadelphia, the Pope visited a prison. He said he couldn’t believe how dirty and overcrowded it was, then his assistant said, ‘This is just the Amtrak station, we haven’t gotten to the prison yet.’” – Jimmy Fallon “People went absolutely gaga […]
One additional ironic note to the GOP fight to destroy Planned Parenthood. Did you know that originally, the Republicans were the strongest supporters of Planned Parenthood? Historically, the Catholic Church were the major opponents of birth control. In fact, in 1921 a Catholic Archbishop sent the police to raid a public meeting of the American […]
“Yesterday as Pope Francis rode down Fifth Avenue, Donald Trump actually stepped out of Trump Tower with his son, Donald Jr., and got booed by the crowd. Then Trump was like, ‘I guess they really don’t like you Donald, Jr.!’” – Jimmy Fallon “This morning, Pope Francis addressed the U.N. General Assembly, and rode around […]
That the Trans Pacific Partnership was negotiated in total secrecy should be enough to give one pause, but now, a single chapter was leaked by Wikileaks. This is the chapter on Intellectual Property Rights, which controls copyrights, the internet, medicines, and biological patents. In almost every way, this chapter alone would be a complete disaster. […]
“I saw that Pope Francis held his first-ever prayer here in New York City earlier this evening. I guess it was halfway through his first New York City cab ride. ‘Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners…’” – Jimmy Fallon “Pope Francis is in America. Can you feel it? There is a certain […]

It has been weeks since Martin Shkreli promised to lower the price of Daraprim, but apparently that might have been a lie just to stop the outrage. How long does it take to lower the price of a drug (especially when there are people whose lives depend on it)? Well, the NY Times article that […]
