“Donald Trump has been all over the news this week, but he’s still struggling to be seen as a legitimate candidate by Republicans. In fact, now Trump is threatening to start campaigning as a third-party candidate if the Republican Party doesn’t become more supportive. Of course, a lot of Republicans say you need to give […]
Jon Stewart says goodbye to the Daily Show tonight. The way I see it, if Donald Trump gets elected president, it will be Stewart’s fault (just kidding!). On the other hand, if Trump becomes president, I’d bet Stewart will regret leaving the Daily Show. It is not often one receives a gold mine like that. […]
Does anyone else find it strange and inappropriate that Fox News gets to choose the candidates that will appear in the first Republican Presidential debate? It doesn’t help that they have been less than transparent about how they are picking, and the results of who they picked surprised a few people. Shouldn’t it be up […]

“A major Iowa newspaper published an op-ed against Trump calling him a ‘self-absorbed, wholly unqualified feckless blowhard.’ Or as Trump put it, ‘You forgot very rich … I’m a very rich, self-absorbed, wholly unqualified feckless blowhard. Very, very rich.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Donald Trump’s children released a statement this week calling their father a ‘true […]
This is pretty darn funny. Barack Obama calls up Jimmy Fallon Donald Trump to give him advice about the upcoming debates: Does anyone else find it funny that there is no way to parody Trump? The real Trump is a better parody of himself than any fake one. Another good read is “Boy, was I […]
Bloomberg put together a focus group of twelve Republican and independent voters to find out why Donald Trump is so popular. I’ve gotta wonder what reality these people are living in. Saying “Trump tells the truth”? I’m having trouble finding a single thing on PolitiFact where Trump earned a “true” rating.
A recent article in Salon starts with a headline that says it all: “Sean Hannity is killing the GOP: Fox News & conservative media have the party in a stranglehold“. At one point the Republicans might have thought Fox News was on their side, but one has to wonder what the GOP is thinking now […]
“Donald Trump’s not backing down. Yesterday he said he doesn’t need to be lectured by the other Republican candidates, who he says have no business running for president. Not to be confused with Donald Trump, who ran for president and now has no business.” – Jimmy Fallon “In a speech in South Carolina, Donald Trump […]
Techdirt has a stunning article showing how corrupt we have become. The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) was trying to force Google’s search engine to stop linking to content that MPAA didn’t like. Search engines are supposed to search for websites, but the MPAA wanted the power to make sites they don’t like simply […]
“Donald Trump got in some trouble for saying that John McCain is not a war hero, and said, ‘I like people that weren’t captured.’ Not good. In fact, Trump’s people are telling him to lay low for a while until this all combs over.” – Jimmy Fallon “On Saturday Donald Trump had some unkind words […]
Republican politicians figured out a long time ago that running for president was a good way to get lots of publicity (often for free). This resulted in the 2012 Republican primary having a mind numbing total of 20 television debates and a slew of additional debate-like events, including a Twitter debate sponsored by TheTeaParty.net. The […]
As part of Obama’s effort to increase transparency and participation in government, the website whitehouse.gov allows people to submit petitions, and guarantees that if any petition receives more than 100,000 signatures, it will receive a response. It is somewhat ironic then that the response to a relatively popular petition was used to strike a blow […]

“Donald Trump’s campaign has raised about $100,000 in donations during the second quarter. Which raises an important question: Who is giving Donald Trump money? That’s like giving your money to a pile of money.” – Jimmy Fallon “In a recent interview, John McCain addressed Trump’s campaign rally in Arizona and said that he just quote, […]
