© Rebecca Hendin I don’t get it. The Chicken Hawks seem to be claiming that the only way to avoid war with Iran is to go to war against them. Isn’t this the same logic that got us into trouble with Iraq and other countries? As the book said, “War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, […]
Amazingly enough, the Republicans have voted again to repeal Obamacare. The vote failed. Isn’t this the definition of insanity?
“Earlier this week Donald Trump gave an interview with CNN at a winery he owns in Virginia. It turns out Trump’s winery makes two different kinds of wine: white wine and not-white wine.” – Jimmy Fallon “A store in Houston is selling Donald Trump piñatas filled with candy. So finally something good is going to […]
[I’m quoting an article by Jim Wright from Stonekettle Station in its entirety (minus the addendum, which you should go read).] “The reality is that John McCain the politician has made America less safe, sent our brave soldiers into wrong-headed foreign adventures, covered up for President (Barack) Obama with the VA scandal and has spent […]
Courtesy of Daniel Kurtzman at About.com, here are the top 10 crazy, vain, stupid, and just plain wrong things that have come out of the mouth of Donald Trump. The Republican Party can’t distance themselves from him. Trump is the current GOP. “He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. […]
President Obama appears for an extended interview on the Daily Show, and discusses Iran, the media, partisanship, and public service. I wish more news were like this, and it is ironic that we have to watch a comedy fake news show to see it. And I also want to point out that the Social Security […]
© Lalo Alcaraz As the things that come out of the mouth of Donald Trump become uglier and stupider, the more popular he gets with Republicans. He is now polling ahead of all other Republican presidential candidates. Doesn’t that tell you pretty much everything you need to know about the GOP?
“Some bad news for Donald Trump. The controversial remarks he’s made since he began his presidential campaign have cost his brand as much as $80 million. You can tell things are rough for Trump because today he had to wipe his mouth with a napkin instead of a 20.” – Jimmy Fallon “After severing ties […]
The Republicans are desperately trying to get rid of Donald Trump. I mean they have even asked him nicely to shut up, or at least dial it back a few notches. But Trump continues to be Trump, and he keeps rising in the polls. What’s a GOP to do? Their plan was to wait for […]
© Chan Lowe Have all those Republicans who are condemning Obama’s nuke agreement with Iran forgotten it was Saint Ronnie who illegally and secretly sold weapons to Iran (even though Congress had passed an arms embargo against them) in order to fund a terrorist group in Central America? I guess when the GOP votes to […]
Jade Helm 15 is underway in Texas, and unfortunately there is no invasion in sight. Fooled them again, didn’t we?
“It was announced today that Iran has reached a deal with the U.S. to limit its nuclear program and send most of its uranium to Russia. Then Americans said, ‘That’s great! Wait, WHAT?’” – Jimmy Fallon “The Obama administration announced a deal with Iran that would prevent the Iranians from making a nuclear weapon. In […]
Finally! The Atlantic published an article titled “Blame the Banks” (written by a former banker), asking the question that I’ve been asking for a while. I keep hearing people accuse Greece of “reckless borrowing”. Why isn’t anyone accusing the banks of “reckless lending”? It is also interesting to note that people keep talking about financial […]

“Today Scott Walker announced that he is running for president, making him the 15th Republican candidate to enter the race. Which I think means we get the 16th one for free. I’ve got a punch card.” – Jimmy Fallon “Scott Walker’s campaign slogan is ‘Reform. Growth. Safety.’ Which is actually similar to Donald Trump’s new […]
