Who says bipartisanship isn’t alive? Last week Congresscritter Steve Scalise (R-LA) admitted that in 2002 he spoke at a white supremacist organization founded by former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. Not overly surprising. Heck, not that long ago Louisiana was as racist as they get. David Duke himself had served in the state legislature […]
“Today President Obama announced that the U.S. is working to improve its relationship with Cuba in an effort to normalize full diplomatic relations. For instance, today they released one of our prisoners and in return we sent back one of their shortstops.” – Jimmy Fallon “The White House announced plans to begin normalizing relations with […]
© Keith Knight If there is one thing I believe, it is that we need to have balance. We need to listen to people willing to have serious conversations, no matter their political leanings. If we learned one thing from the midterm elections this year, it is that even though people voted for conservative candidates, […]
“President Obama recently said that his day is all about politics, so in the mornings he likes to watch ESPN. So if you get the feeling he’s repeating himself every half hour, that’s where he learned it from.” – Jimmy Fallon “The Danes are causing a bit of trouble. The kingdom of Denmark claimed the […]
I’ve been wanting to move Political Irony to a new server for a while, and I might do it in the next few days. If I do, Political Irony will go down for a day or two while I move everything over. After that, it should run much better. I can’t believe that I’ve been […]
“Sony was the victim of a massive cyber attack from hackers presumed to be based in North Korea. In an embarrassing email, a producer called Angelina Jolie a minimally talented spoiled brat. Which makes this all seem like a high school drama more than an international act of cyber terrorism.” – Jimmy Kimmel “Producers at […]
© Steve Breen © Scott Bateman I’ve been seeing a number of comics like these lately, expressing the opinion that 2014 just totally sucked. Really? Personally, as far as I can tell most of the really bad news was completely overhyped by the media with the express purpose of scaring you into reading their websites […]
“Joe Biden will assist in the 35th annual lighting of the National Menorah at the White House. When he heard that, Smokey Bear said, ‘Hold my calls. This is not gonna end well.’” – Jimmy Fallon “This week Biden said that he will decide on a potential 2016 presidential campaign by the spring or the […]
Sometimes we are penny wise but pound foolish. Like when we “deinstitutionalized” our psychiatric hospitals and dumped all our mental patients out on the street, exacerbating the homeless problem. But now we are finding out that kicking people out onto the street doesn’t save any money at all. A new study shows that the cost […]
America is Awesome! The U.S. economy grew at a rollicking 5 percent rate in the third quarter. Oh, and it added 320,000 jobs in November, the best of its unprecedented 57 straight months of private-sector employment growth. Just in time for Christmas, the Dow just hit an all-time high and the uninsured rate is approaching […]
I love Tom Tomorrow’s annual year in review comics. Here’s part one: © Tom Tomorrow I hope everyone had a great year, and a very merry Christmas.
© Tom Tomorrow The Irony. New survey polls done by The Washington Post, ABC, and CBS show that either Americans have mixed feelings about our use of torture, or else that they really don’t want to think about it. For example, 69% of Americans consider waterboarding to be torture, but despite this, 59% think the […]
Time Magazine published an excellent article by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar about the kerfuffle going on in New York city over two policemen who were murdered. The NY police are blaming the deaths on the people who are protesting against several high profile cases of police racism. They are also accusing the mayor of NYC and even […]
The mainstream media is continuing its descent into mediocrity. I mean, we are told by the mainstream media that they have fact checkers, editors, and all that other stuff that means that we can trust them, right? But then something like this happens. Greta Van Susteren of Fox News found confirmation of her suspicions that […]
