“Britain’s parliament has passed a bill that would allow gay marriage. How about that? For the first time they are allowing gay marriage. If you thought royal weddings were big, just wait until the first gay royal wedding. Oh, my God. How fabulous will that be?” – Jay Leno “Here’s some big news out of […]

“President Obama told a group of school children that broccoli was his favorite food, and they believed him. Then he told them Obamacare would reduce the deficit and the kids all busted out laughing.” – Jay Leno “NSA leaker Edward Snowden has filed for asylum in Russia, but Vladimir Putin is against it. You know, […]
© Ruben Bolling A small irony about this comic is that Ruben Bolling (like me) absolutely loves Disneyland and Disneyworld. But we can still make fun of it.
“NSA leaker Edward Snowden says he may seek asylum in Russia. Well, he should really love the freedom and openness of that society.” – Jay Leno “President Obama just called Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss NSA leaker Edward Snowden, who’s been living in Moscow at the airport. Obama asked that Snowden be sent back […]
Bodyform is a British manufacturer of, um, feminine hygiene products (like, Maxipads). Like many companies, they have a Facebook page. Last year, someone posted the following comment on their page (all typos are from the source): Hi , as a man I must ask why you have lied to us for all these years . […]
I think everyone should watch Obama’s unscripted remarks about the Florida verdict. He was thoughtful and respectful, while still being thought provoking. On the other hand, here are some conservative pundit responses to Obama’s remarks: If you ever had any doubts, Obama is the first Racist in Chief I like living in a country where […]
I’m enjoying John Oliver’s summer at the helm of the Daily Show. Also worth a view is Lewis Black’s segment on Texas.
Our obsession with guns has run up against our desire to be tough on crime, resulting in laws that are beyond ironic. According to an article in the LA Times: Self-defense laws reward shooters with permission to kill if they can prove they’re acting out of fear for their lives. At the same time, minimum […]
“People in Florida are pretty worried about the Zimmerman acquittal. They’re trying so hard to get black people to stay in their homes, it looks like election day down there.” – Bill Maher “Their defense is that George Zimmerman is weak and stupid. That’s their whole defense, that’s such a pussy that in a fight […]
Helen Philpot of Margaret and Helen tells it like it is. Here’s a few quotes to get you to go read the whole rant: Margaret, if my vagina could shoot bullets it would have fewer regulations on it. Plus, it would be easier to conceal from idiot politicians like Rick Perry and John Kasich. And […]
“According to The Washington Post, the NSA has been monitoring phone calls and emails of people in Mexico. So apparently it’s not enough to spy on American citizens, they feel they have to spy on FUTURE American citizens as well.” – Jay Leno “America has lost the title of the fattest nation on earth. We […]
© Matt Wuerker The New Yorker makes an interesting point about filibuster reform. Filibusters in the Senate are used to block three things: judicial nominees (like to the Supreme Court), ordinary legislation, and administration appointees (like Cabinet members and heads of agencies). Using the filibuster to block the nomination of judges (especially Supreme Court justices) […]
© Ted Rall Was it my imagination, or was the media trying to turn this into another blockbuster like the OJ Simpson trial? Everyone seems to be riled up, but we still don’t have any real answers as to what to do. I’m thinking that “stand your ground” laws are a very bad idea, but […]
