The Search for Sanity … Out There!

© Tom Tomorrow The “journalist” in the last panel is David Gregory from “Meet the Press”. Who during a heated exchange did indeed ask Greenwald why he shouldn’t be charged with a felony. Gregory claimed that Greenwald “aided and abetted Snowden, even in his current movements”. Gregory seems to think it is the job of […]

“So former President George W. Bush had to go into the hospital, had a little heart surgery and he’s OK, but he blames it all on the fatty foods served by White House butler Forest Whitaker.” – David Letterman “Doctors told him to avoid any heavy exertion, so that means no reading. He had a […]

How to Think like a Birther

Tea Party Senator Ted Cruz was born in Canada (and is still a Canadian citizen), to an American mother and a Cuban father. So how are birthers who questioned Obama’s eligibility to be president responding to Cruz’s desire to run for the highest office? With an extra dose of irony, of course! The constitution is […]

False Flag?

Glenn Greenwald is accusing the UK government of purposely leaking damaging classified information and blaming Edward Snowden for the leak, in order to make it look like Snowden has been leaking damaging information (information that could place people in danger). I am going to reserve judgement about what is really going on, but it is […]

Stand Your Ground

© Lalo Alcaraz Does it mean that the 99% end up on the ground? I think this comic hit me mainly because of how terrorism laws are now being used to harass anyone the government doesn’t like, including journalists. Why wouldn’t we worry about laws that allow you to shoot someone if you feel threatened? […]

Republicans, you’re doing a heck of a job

According to a new survey done by Public Policy Polling in Louisiana, slightly more Republicans in the state blame Barack Obama for the inadequate response to Hurricane Katrina than blame George W Bush. Even though the hurricane that battered Louisiana occurred while Bush was president, and three years before Obama became president. Interestingly, the largest […]

“Some unelected, activist judge has rejected Stop and Frisk on the bizarre theory that minorities have the constitutional right not to be stopped at random and manhandled by strangers. Despite the fact that when the Constitution was written, minorities weren’t even invented yet.” – Stephen Colbert “Sixty-two percent of New Yorkers say they are embarrassed […]

Making an Example

Bradley Manning has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for being a whistleblower. The prosecution argued for a 60 year sentence, specifically to make an example of him to deter others from leaking classified information. Ironically, the example they are actually making is that being a whistleblower is considered as bad as being an […]

Why Republicans Will Not Repeal Obamacare

Meet Clint Murphy. Last week, while Newt Gingrich was explaining why Republicans couldn’t repeal Obamacare unless they came up with a better replacement, Murphy showed a more direct example of why they can’t repeal Obamacare. Murphy is a Republican foot soldier. The kind of party activist who has worked on Republican campaigns including Casey Cagle, […]

Transparency?

© Tom Tomorrow You know, I don’t blame Obama for all of this. After all, the Patriot Act was enacted before he was even elected, and anyone who voted against it was practically branded a traitor. We are paying dearly for our idiotic knee-jerk fear-ridden reaction to 9/11. But Obama sure seems to be doing […]

The 3 Pillars Come Tumbling Down

We have been reassured repeatedly that the three branches of government all have exercised extensive and rigorous oversight over the NSA spying program. Obama repeated this claim just last week: As President, I’ve taken steps to make sure they have strong oversight by all three branches of government and clear safeguards to prevent abuse and […]
