I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that with the start of the Republican National Convention the nut cases are coming out. Donald Trump just had to wade into birther conspiracies once again. What I can’t understand is why anyone listens to anything he says any more. But wait, it gets better. Rush Limbaugh is trying […]
“President Obama met with the White House Press corps for only the second time this year… It was only twenty minutes long. Makes you miss President Bush. He would spend twenty minutes answering the first question.” – Jay Leno “In a new interview, first lady Michelle Obama said she doesn’t have time to read ‘Fifty […]
In an interview with CBS, Mitt Romney tries to deflect the blowback that the Republican Party is receiving due to their hardline stance on abortion. The Republican Party platform calls for a constitutional amendment banning abortion. After all, if you believe that an embryo is a person, then any abortion — even in the case […]
© Tom Toles Mitt Romney defends his personality and likability in an interview with Politico by repeating the Popeye line “I am who I am” three times. Well, he does point out that “I was voted the president of my fraternity. … you don’t get voted to be head of your group if you don’t […]
“Todd Akin, the Republican Senate candidate from Missouri, is under fire for his controversial comments that women who are ‘legitimately raped are less likely to get pregnant.’ The good news? Candidates who are legitimately that stupid are less likely to get elected.” – Jay Leno “Mitt Romney has asked Todd Akin to step down. That’s […]
On the eve of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida, the former Republican governor of Florida, Charlie Crist, has endorsed Barack Obama for president: As America prepares to pick our president for the next four years — and as Florida prepares once again to play a decisive role — I’m confident that President Barack […]
The Economist magazine — who should be his biggest boosters — takes a long, hard look at Mitt Romney, and doesn’t like what they see. A few quotes, but the whole article is worth reading: All politicians flip-flop from time to time; but Mr Romney could win an Olympic medal in it (see article). Would […]

Gov. Rick Scott has declared a state of emergency for Florida, although some might wonder whether it is because of the approaching hurricane, or because of the impending inundation of Republicans arriving for the convention. Isaac has already caused three deaths in Haiti. I hope everyone stays safe. © Jim Morin UPDATE: The Republicans have […]

“Mitt Romney is worth half a billion dollars and he’s saying he pays 13 percent annually in taxes. Al Capone paid more than 13 percent in taxes, ladies and gentlemen.” – David Letterman “Mitt Romney says he’s never paid less than 13% in taxes, which I think is fair because only 13% of his money […]

I know this is a few months old, but it is both hilarious and interesting from a political viewpoint. Even monkeys (as well as dogs and birds) understand basic fairness. So why do Republicans think it is fair when wealthy people pay a smaller percentage of their income in taxes?
Yesterday, Gawker published 950 pages of “internal audits, financial statements, and private investor letters” for companies and other entities in which Mitt Romney has a significant investment interest (mostly through Bain Capital). The whole thing reeks of irony. Indeed, defenders of Romney scream that Gawker itself, while pointing out that Romney avoided taxes by using […]
Campaigning in Michigan today, where he grew up, Mitt Romney made a joke. He said “no one’s ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised.” While this is a clear reference to discredited claims that Obama was not born in the US and […]
“It’s only been six days that they’ve been together as a ticket, and already Paul Ryan is flip-flopping on everything. All week long, Romney has been attacking Obama on his $700 billion in Medicare cuts. Apparently Ryan in his plan had the exact same thought, until yesterday when Romney announced that Ryan had changed his […]
