Retroactive Retirement?

Getting paid $100,000 a year for doing nothing? We definitely need more of that in our government! Nice to have the Daily Show back.

Late Night Political Humor

“Mitt Romney is worth $250 million, and reporters said, “Mitt, honestly, how did you get so rich?’ And he said, ‘Well, I’ve always been good with my money and I do smart things. I always make sure my tires are properly inflated. And I save 15 percent on my car insurance by switching to Geico.’” […]

An Indecent Proposal

Warning: Not safe for work. Or for Republicans. Sarah Silverman has an indecent proposal for casino magnate Sheldon Adelson. That’s right, the man who has pledged at least $100 million to defeat Obama (John McCain claims that it is foreign money). For more information, see http://scissorsheldon.com/ UPDATE: Also, you might be wondering why Sheldon Adelson […]

The Bain of His Existence

© Kevin Siers It seems to be a common GOP tactic, to accuse your opponent of things of which you yourself are guilty. But in this case, I’m not sure that strategy will work. Romney is already too much like Obama for conservatives. © Tom Tomorrow

Trolling Shell for Oil

Greenpeace, the Yes Lab, and members of the Occupy movement are trolling Shell Oil, creating fake websites that look like they are from Shell, throwing lavish parties, and issuing press releases in Shell’s name. The best part is this fake social networking site, that invites people to create ads about “Arctic Energy”. The “Yes Lab” […]

“Mitt Romney gave a speech at the annual NAACP conference in Houston. Why, I don’t know. Maybe he confused NAACP with NASCAR.” – Jimmy Kimmel “The event got off to a bad start when Romney pulled up in front of the convention center and he instinctively locked the doors to his limo.” – Jimmy Kimmel […]

35 Questions

Mitt Romney spent Friday on a media blitz, attacking Obama for trying to make an issue out of Romney’s involvement with Bain Capital after February 1999. How did he do in defusing the Obama campaign’s accusations? As you can see, not well. In fact, Forbes magazine, not exactly a hotbed of liberalism, has a list […]

Lack of Transparency

© Anklejive Republicans kept hounding Obama to release his birth certificate, even after he had already released it. So I’m happy that at least a few Republicans are asking Mitt Romney to release his tax returns from before 2010: “There is no whining in politics. Stop demanding an apology, release your tax returns.” — John […]

Late Night Political Humor

“There’s now a big controversy after a liberal group made a video saying Mitt Romney is too white for black people. Too white for black people?

Taxes as Penalties

© Jim Morin As I’ve said before, I don’t think it matters whether the consequence of not having health insurance is a tax or a penalty. I’m not sure there is much difference between taxes and penalties. We even have taxes that are specifically designed to be penalties, like taxes on cigarettes and liquor. After […]

“The latest poll shows 56% of voters think President Obama has changed America – for the worse. At this point, there’s only one thing that can keep Mitt Romney from beating him.

The Cost of Obstructionism

I’m not sure if I completely agree with all of their reasoning, but there is an interesting article in the Daily Kos that presents lots of evidence that if it were not for GOP obstructionism, that unemployment would currently be under 6%. The best argument they make is that in the past when we had […]

Corporations are People!

© Ruben Bolling You may think this is silly, but other than the part about incorporating after the fact, this is pretty much true. Corporations are able to get away with murder and other crimes that would send real people to jail.

The Definition of Fake History

Steve Kornacki has a new show on MSNBC called “The Cycle”, and if it keeps doing stories like this, he’s going to be great. Kornacki points out that Obama’s proposed tax increase on the rich is exactly the same thing that Bill Clinton did when he was president. Back then, Republicans claimed that it would […]
