© Tom Tomorrow I can’t think of anything I could possibly add to Tom Tomorrow’s brilliant review of this most crazy of years, except that there will be a part 2 next week. If you enjoy TT as much as I do, I can highly recommend that you join Sparky’s List.
© Ruben Bolling Any time I hear someone say “the government shouldn’t pick winners and losers” I have to laugh. Almost everything the government does picks winners and losers. When something becomes illegal, the people who were doing that thing become losers. When Congress gives tax breaks, the people who receive those breaks become winners. […]
Despite all the noise about renewable energy sources — solar, biomass, wind, geothermal, and hydropower — not yet being ready for prime time, Yale University points out that all of the additional electricity-generating capacity added in the US in November came from renewable energy sources. Lest you think that was a fluke, in October 99% […]
“Fox News host Megyn Kelly now says she was just kidding when she said Santa Claus is white. However, she’s standing by her statement that the Grinch who stole Christmas, definitely Jewish.” – Conan O’Brien “Is Santa Claus an American? Well he is fat and wears a velvet track suit.” – Stephen Colbert “More snow […]
Once again, reality proves that it is stranger than fiction. There is a war going on, but it is not a War on Christmas. First the facts. A week ago, a satirical website called The National Report printed a fictional piece (designed to look like a real news story) about a (fictitious) school involving one […]
© John Backderf And just why are we arguing about the race of various mythical and/or dead people? Are we really that race obsessed? And even if she was kidding, did Megyn Kelly really think that kids would be traumatized if someone told them that Santa Claus is not white? Things are even worse than […]
“This week President Obama attended Nelson Mandela’s memorial service in South Africa. Hundreds of world leaders were there. President Obama said it felt strange to listen to these leaders in person rather than eavesdropping on their phone calls.” – Jay Leno “Yesterday everybody reported on the fake sign language interpreter at the Nelson Mandela memorial. […]
© Clay Bennett A must read article on Juan Cole’s website by Anthony Orlando points out that not only has the theory of trickle down economics been completely disproven, but there never was any evidence of it. A quick look at the historical record shows that. Economists at the International Monetary Fund looked at 140 […]
The GOP has gone off the deep end. There is no other way to report this than with humor, and Jon Stewart is the best.
It looks like the once hard-hitting “60 Minutes” news program has completely lost its way. I already posted about their fluff piece for Amazon (and I love Amazon!). Then they totally bungled a report on Benghazi. And now they do an even worse fluff piece on the NSA, even letting the NSA control what everyone […]
“Some are saying that while at Nelson Mandela’s memorial, President Obama flirted with the female prime minister of Denmark right in front of Michelle Obama. Man, if President Obama felt that the flight to South Africa was long, can you imagine the way home?” – Conan O’Brien “Obama is facing a lot of criticism after […]
[excerpted from “The Everlasting GOP Stoppers” by Marc Belisle] BREAKING: US Navy Strikes North Pole, Obama Declares ‘War on Christmas’, Claus’ Fate Unknown In a tense press conference with the conservative media, President Obama announced late Tuesday that US Navy destroyers deployed in the Arctic Circle were firing Tomahawk cruise missiles in a campaign to […]
A hilarious factoid in The Economist from a poll of married couples, asking whether both spouses always voted the same way. 73% of the married men said yes. “The wives’ response? Just 49% said yes.” Also interesting is that unmarried women, who accounted for nearly a quarter of all votes cast in the 2012 presidential […]
“This winter storm has left thousands without electricity. It’s as if President Obama had taken over the power companies.” – Jay Leno “Last week a man was locked in an airplane for several hours after he fell asleep during a flight and nobody woke up him up when it landed. But other than that, Joe […]
If you watched the videos in the previous post, you saw Megyn Kelly claiming that Santa is white. Well, here’s Kelly defending her remarks by (as usual) going on the attack. She claims that her comments were “tongue in cheek” and that the people who got upset about them have no sense of humor: Since […]
