“Anybody ever studied at Donald Trump University? The attorney general says it’s a fraudulent operation. Here’s all I know. It’s the only college where you can actually major in condo flipping.” – David Letterman “The attorney general of New York is now suing Donald Trump for $40 million claiming that Trump University is a fraud. […]
© Matt Bors I’m not sure what to think about Syria. But I pretty much have the same questions about Syria as I did about Iraq. What is the goal of our attacking Syria? Is it to depose Assad, like we did with Saddam Hussein? If so, what happens after we do that? Do we […]
“U.S. warships are heading toward Syria. It’s going to be kind of an enjoyable switch for Obama. Now he can start a war that the next president will be stuck with.” – David Letterman “Vice President Joe Biden said today that ‘Syria must be held accountable.’ Unfortunately, the Obama administration has never employed an accountant, […]
Satirist Andy Borowitz is on a roll lately. I won’t even include any quotes — just go read them: REPUBLICANS OFFER SYRIA STRATEGY: “WE MUST DEFUND OBAMACARE” OBAMA SHAKEN BY BOEHNER’S SUPPORT
It is too bad that I don’t have a category for “sanity in an insane world”. This story definitely qualifies. Los Angeles County Sheriff oversees the largest jail system in the nation, and yet he travelled to Washington to lobby the government to give him less money, and instead spend the money on preschools, saying: […]
Washington Post published an editorial “Republicans should get out of the way of Obamacare“. Their argument is summed up by the last paragraph: Congress enacted the Affordable Care Act. The Supreme Court found most of its provisions to be constitutional. Republicans, having opposed the bill and supported the legal challenge to it, are entitled to […]
© David Horsey [Notes about the comic by David Horsey] When are America’s leaders going to step up and protect us from the most threatening terrorists, hedge fund managers? Sure, some Islamist nutcase might be able to set off a bomb on a bus or in a building, but, horrific as that may be, the […]
© Matt Wuerker “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” – Benjamin Franklin “Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its […]
“The state attorney general of New York is suing Donald Trump for $40 million, claiming that Donald Trump University is not a real university. The state claims it’s not a real college because students get very little education and were unable to find jobs after they graduated. Sounds like a real college to me.” – […]
© Jeff Parker First it was decided that Corporations are people and money is free speech. Then it was decided that the right to privacy only applied to the spies. I guess 1984 was just 30 years early. What I find really ironic about this is the news that even though Snowden was a lowly […]
“But it’s not all bad news for the former San Diego mayor. Today Bob Filner was offered a new job as a TSA agent at the airport. So, you fly often, do you?” – Jay Leno “Eighteen women are accusing Bob Filner of sexual assault. He even groped a great grandmother. Isn’t that awful? Even […]
I am told that when I was just a toddler my mother took me and we marched with Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Today is the 50-year anniversary of his famous “I have a dream” speech, so it is appropriate to take stock of how much has changed for the better in the last 50 […]
© Joel Pett I’ve been wondering when someone would point out the utter ludicrousness of right wingers claiming that Obamacare was going to force businesses to lay off employees and cut benefits. Like, did they think we wouldn’t notice that they’ve been doing that for years without Obamacare? Not to mention that just threatening to […]
Religious people often like to claim that without religion, people would abandon their morals and the world would descend into chaos. Or something like that. Of course, they don’t have to offer any proof of that because, well, they are religious, so they just take it on faith. But now we are finally hearing from […]
