If you do a Google image search on “completely wrong” (or just click the link), you’ll get back a bunch of images of Mitt Romney. Some sites are calling this a “Googlebomb”, where social networkers deliberately attach a phrase to a person (the most famous being “Santorum“) But I suspect that this one was not […]
Who could resist an article — from CNN of all people — with a headline of “Thanks but no tanks”? Not me, obviously. Good thing the article is definitely worth a read. It details how the same Congress that is screaming about deficits is insisting that the military spend $181 million for tanks that the […]
Jimmy Fallon plays Mitt Romney playing Mister Rogers:
The Village Voice has an excellent article listing “the ten most corrupt tax loopholes”. Mitt Romney says he will balance the budget (while cutting taxes and increasing military spending) by closing tax loopholes. But he won’t tell us which loopholes. For example, the loophole that allows Apple to pretend they are an Irish company and […]
© David Horsey Who else thinks that defunding PBS has nothing to do with balancing the budget, and everything to do with pushing the Republican agenda. After all, you can’t buy public television. As the cartoonist David Horsey put it: So, after many long months of campaigning and promising to cut the deficit while also […]
“After months of buildup, last night was the first presidential debate at the University of Denver. Of course, a lot of big names didn’t show up to the event — Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, President Obama.” – Jimmy Fallon “It’s like Obama wasn’t even there. He hasn’t done this poorly since he debated Clint Eastwood.” […]

“Tonight is the first presidential debate of 2012. Tonight was also one of the only nights of the year when you might actually hear someone say, ‘Honey, turn on C-SPAN’.” – Jimmy Kimmel “The presidential debates were earlier tonight, and I think most of the nation’s all thinking the same thing – just one more […]
Maureen Dowd has a hilarious column pretending to be post-mortem debate practice for Obama on what he should have said in the first round. The whole column is worth reading, but here’s an excerpt: Opponent: I want to take that $716 billion you’ve cut and put it back into Medicare. Obama: The $716 billion I’ve […]

“For tomorrow’s debate, President Obama’s advisers have been working with him to keep his responses short. In fact, the only words the president plans on saying are ‘bin Laden’ and ‘dead.’ That’s it.” – Conan O’Brien “I understand they are going to have ‘fact checkers’ standing by — just in case either candidate happens to […]
© Matt Davies Less than two days after Romney complained that unemployment hadn’t dropped below 8% during Obama’s administration, the unemployment rate fell from 8.1% to 7.8%. So when Romney was saying that, unemployment was already below 8%. So of course, the Republicans respond by accusing the president of cooking the books, calling the unemployment […]
Steve Martin has created one of the most eccentric political endorsements ever:
I’ll let Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert have the last words on the debate:
“The presidential debate is on Wednesday. Mitt Romney has been preparing for the debate by debating a Republican senator who plays the part of President Obama. Meanwhile, President Obama has been preparing for Romney by debating an ATM machine.” – Conan O’Brien “The math behind how Romney can give everyone a 20% tax cut without […]
