“During a campaign event, former presidential nominee Bob Dole told the crowd that Mitt Romney should run for president in 2016. If there’s anyone who knows that the third time is a charm, it’s a guy who lost three times.” – Jimmy Fallon “While Mitt Romney was in Nebraska at a campaign rally to support […]
Russell Brand has an excellent rant because a 90-year-old Florida man was arrested for feeding the homeless at his church. Fort Lauderdale recently passed a law prohibiting sharing food with hungry people. Seriously. So much for Christian charity.
“Halloween is just a few days away and the Obamas have invited children to go trick-or-treating at the White House on Friday. It will be fun until the Secret Service tackles a kid and says, ‘We finally got one. He’s dressed like a ninja turtle and tried to get in here.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Over […]
The supposed truce between Obama and the GOP continues to go down the drain:
I hope everyone reading this blog also keeps up with Matt Taibbi, one of my heroes. Taibbi just published another article in Rolling Stone, pointing out once again (and with lots of facts) how our government is so completely owned by the banking industry. The article tells the ongoing story of a former manager at […]
“Yesterday yet another person jumped the White House fence. It happened again. On the bright side, at least Michelle Obama is finally getting more Americans to exercise.” – Conan O’Brien “Maybe people would stop trying to jump the fence if the first lady weren’t taunting us by growing gardens full of that sweet, sweet kale.” […]
Wednesday afternoon, Obama gave a press conference where he congratulated Republicans on their victories, and laid out specific policy issues where he thinks the two sides can and must work together to solve problems for the American people. It is short and I recommend you go watch it. Some Republicans, including the new Senate Majority […]
Far more Americans believe that climate change is real and is happening as a result of human activity, and say that the government should act to control the problem, than deny climate change. In fact, a recent survey shows that only 12% still deny climate change. The number of people who think we need to […]
When longstanding political issues start to shift, once the ice is broken the change can happen relatively quickly. A recent example is the legalization of gay marriage, which I had hoped would happen, but until a few years ago never thought would take place in my lifetime. But now, a majority of US citizens live […]
“At a polling station while President Obama was standing next to a woman, a man shouted out, ‘Hey, Mr. President, stay away from my girlfriend.’ He didn’t say this because Obama was flirting with her, but because his girlfriend is a Democrat running for re-election.” – Conan O’Brien “Over the weekend President Obama told Americans […]
The Daily Show has a new sponsor, and Jon Stewart welcomes them as only he can:
“The head of the TSA is stepping down after more than four years on the job. Well, he actually stepped down a while ago, but he’s been going through security for three and a half years.” – Jimmy Fallon “TSA Chief John Pistole announced that he is stepping down. So whoever takes his place is […]
According to Nate Silver, the Republicans now have a 73% chance of taking over the Senate (that’s a whopping 46 point lead). So Barack Obama will face a hostile Congress, including a Senate that probably won’t confirm any of his nominees. But in this video, Hillary Clinton (or at least, someone playing her) finds something […]
If you’ve been paying attention, you’d know that the Supreme Court decision making political bribery campaign contributions protected as free speech was a very bad idea. But an article in BuzzFeed points out that there is one way where money is the same as free speech, a way that has been used since the Roman […]
“The Pentagon just announced that its fight against ISIS will be called ‘Operation Inherent Resolve.’ They came up with that name using ‘Operation Random Thesaurus’.” – Jimmy Fallon “The Pentagon has picked ‘Operation Inherent Resolve’ as the name for its fight against ISIS. Unfortunately, two terrorists got away while they were busy thinking of that […]
