“NBC has suspended Brian Williams for six months without pay. Williams said he’s not worried because soon his veterans benefits will kick in.” – Conan O’Brien “NBC suspended Brian Williams for six months without pay for misrepresenting a story of something that happened to him 12 years ago in Iraq. I have a solution. They […]
It is one of those situations where the proverbial genie is already out of the bottle. Like we went shopping and dropped the very expensive fragile object and broke it. So now we own it. Is it too late to walk away? Because even if we do, we are still going to be blamed for […]
The election isn’t until November of 2016, over 20 months away, but the rhetoric has already started, and it doesn’t bode well for the future. For starters, some Republicans haven’t figured out that they are no longer running against Barack Obama. Take the words of Ted Cruz (on Fox News of course), who called Obama […]

“Never again will Brian Williams mislead this great nation about being shot at in a war we probably wouldn’t have ended up in if the media had applied this level of scrutiny to the actual fucking war.” – Jon Stewart “Despite the Brian Williams lying scandal, NBC News led in the ratings last week. Although […]
A new set of polls from NBC News and Marist College are even more surprising than expected. The expected parts are that Republican voters don’t like presidential candidates who support things like Common Core, immigration reform, doing something about climate change, or raising taxes on the wealthy. The surprise part is that opposition to gay […]
“Now people want Brian Williams to resign, but it could have a happy ending. Apparently what he said was such a blatant departure from the truth, today he got an offer from Fox News.” – Bill Maher “Brian Williams of NBC News has admitted he embellished a story about being in a helicopter that was […]
An interesting (and well worth reading) article in The Atlantic dives into some important questions: Why is there no conservative entertainer as funny as Jon Stewart, John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, or many others? And why is there no liberal talk radio host as successful as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, or many others? Theorists […]
© Ruben Bolling It’s true. Why is Brian Williams the only one to get in trouble for rewriting the Iraq war history? In somewhat related news, on Friday, Iceland actually jailed some bankers and CEOs. In the rest of the world, being rich and powerful still gives you a personal get-out-of-jail-free card.
“I view America like this: 70 to 80 percent [are] pretty reasonable people that truthfully, if they sat down, even on contentious issues, would get along. And the other 20 percent of the country run it.” “I’m not going to censor myself to comfort your ignorance.” “Religion. It’s given people hope in a world torn […]
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), in a craven attempt to burnish his ultra-conservative credentials (probably for the upcoming Republican presidential primary), has introduced a bill that would strip federal benefits from same-sex couples and leave it up to the states to restrict marriage as the union of one man and one woman. On his website, Cruz […]
“The CDC announced that there are currently 102 measles cases in the U.S. Some say it’s because people aren’t vaccinating their children. You can tell things are getting bad. Today Disneyland opened a new ride called ‘It’s a Smallpox World’.” – Jimmy Fallon “Health officials are saying the number of measles cases that originated in […]
Jon Stewart announced tonight he will be leaving The Daily Show sometime later this year. He has been host for 16 years! Tonight’s episode also talked about another news anchor who is departing. NBC News suspended Brian Williams for six months without pay. Between these two announcements plus Stephen Colbert, how are we going to […]
© Matt Bors In a strange, ironic way, it is comforting to know that it isn’t just conservatives who are anti-science. That way we can work together to address the problem. The other irony of vaccinations is that their effectiveness has led people to not appreciate them. I’m old enough to remember when childhood diseases […]
“During an interview last weekend, President Obama was talking about the next race for president and refused to choose between Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, saying quote, ‘Love ’em both’. Which was nice until he said he’d support the nominee, regardless of who she is.” – Jimmy Fallon “President Obama unveiled a $4 trillion budget […]
