© Joel Pett The above comic came out just before the first debate, so you’ll forgive the cartoonist if he forgot the latest rule: “you can lie as much as you want, as long as you act like the alpha dog”. © Adam Zyglis
The National Memo did the math, so that you don’t have to (and because Romney won’t). Last night, Mitt Romney promised to eliminate our $1.3 trillion annual deficit without raising any taxes. How will he do this? First, reduce deductions for the wealthy. Well, that’s only $165 billion if you eliminate all deductions for the […]
“There are 40 days left until the election. A lot can happen in 40 days — Obama can make a gaffe, Mitt could win the debates, God can send a flood to destroy all mankind. So, there’s hope.” – Stephen Colbert “The presidential debates begin on Wednesday. Romney has taken two days off to prepare. […]

In the debate tonight, while I was happy to hear Mitt Romney actually own up to Romneycare and how it improved things in Massachusetts, in order to do it he had to lie. Romney claimed that he never proposed Romneycare as a model for national health care reform, but only for states. He’s lying. Secondly, […]

© Jen Sorensen It is true. After some early success in recruiting women into the field of computer science, the number of women receiving CS degrees has been going down dramatically since then — despite the fact that there is strong demand for computer workers regardless of sex. The study mentioned in the first panel […]

“Mitt Romney’s campaign said Obama is spiking the ball too early in Ohio after recent polls show Obama pulling ahead. Obama hasn’t earned that win yet, which is why today the NFL replacement refs just gave it to him anyway.” – Jimmy Fallon “Can prayer save this election? Picking Paul Ryan was certainly a hail […]

“A new poll found that Mitt Romney is behind in Florida by 1 percent. Which is weird because if there’s one group that loves Romney, it’s definitely the 1 percent.” – Jimmy Fallon “Mitt Romney’s campaign is $11 million in debt. This is the guy that’s going to fix our economy?” – David Letterman “I […]
Romney and the Republicans claim that they would be better at creating jobs, even though they recently blocked another jobs bill from Obama. Remember, their solution to creating jobs is to cut taxes on the rich job creators (well, that and outlaw abortion and gay marriage). And we know how well that worked when they […]

“Congratulations to both Mitt Romney and President Obama. They both won Emmys for their performance on “60 Minutes” last night. Obama won for acting as if everything has gotten better over the last four years, and Romney won for pretending to care about that other 47 percent.” – Jay Leno “The president’s re-election campaign slogan […]

Interesting quiz. You answer questions about a few issues, and it shows you the presidential candidate with whom you most agree: http://www.isidewith.com/presidential-election-quiz No big surprise is that I most agree with Barack Obama, but Jill Stein (the Green candidate) was a close second. I agreed with Romney on almost nothing (although how they decided what […]

Republicans are complaining that the mainstream media is using skewed polls that show that Obama is winning. Their argument? That these polls are counting more Democrats than Republicans. This may be the ultimate in false equivalences. The reasons why polls include more Democrats than Republicans is because there are more Democrats than Republicans. Right now, […]
