“There has been another new development in the Secret Service prostitution scandal… [Some agents] say this kind of thing is so common that internally they refer to it as the Secret Circus. Which explains why they were trying to pay the hookers peanuts.” – Jimmy Kimmel “Four Secret Service agents fired for that sex scandal […]
© Matt Wuerker I find it ironic that the GOP stridently defended Bush and Cheney against all criticisms, yet now seem to have rewritten history so that the former occupants don’t even exist. Even more ironic, the Republicans have Romney promoting the very same policies that made them suck so bad. I guess the lesson […]
Michael Fumento, who worked for Reagan and wrote for the National Review, has published an excellent rant about the new right. I had trouble finding a quote or two to entice you to read the article, because the whole thing is excellent. Go read it. But if you need convincing, here’s one tidbit: A single […]
“Facebook shares fell again today. At one point this afternoon, Mark Zuckerberg went from being a billionaire to being ‘still a billionaire.’ – Conan O’Brien “Facebook has lost so much money that founder Mark Zuckerberg has been named an honorary board member of JPMorgan.” – Jay Leno “Mark Zuckerberg got married a couple of days […]
This is what I admire about Joe Biden — his ability to speak about his own feelings and convey raw emotion in a very real way. I remember him doing a similar thing during the hearings about torture. UPDATE: Here’s an unedited video of Biden.
“Shares of Facebook stock dropped from the opening day price of $38 to around $34 today. They say if it drops any lower, Mitt Romney will swoop in and divide it up into Face and Book.” – Jimmy Kimmel “Facebook is worth $100 billion. Today it was friended by Greece.” – David Letterman “Andy Warhol […]

Forbes magazine is reporting that Barack Obama is the smallest government spender since Eisenhower. Yes, that’s right, under Obama, spending increased less than it did under both Bushes, Nixon, even Reagan. The article tries to be even handed, even including a link to a Heritage Foundation rebuttal. Even so, the most interesting (and ironic) part […]

“On the first day of trading, Facebook shares rose less than expected. We were promised that Facebook would take off like a rocket. Apparently it’s a North Korean rocket.” – Jay Leno “I know why you’re happy. Facebook went public and you’re all billionaires now. It is worth one hundred and four billion dollars. There […]

© John Backderf Anarchists want to destroy government. Republicans want to destroy government. Or at least drown it in a bathtub. What’s the difference?
© Jim Morin The GOP solution of “starve the beast” and tax cuts for the rich didn’t work for Greece. Heck, it didn’t work for us just a few short years ago. In fact, it has never worked. So why do voters keep believing them? I realize the following numbers only reflect which party controlled […]
“JPMorgan lost $3 billion in their first quarter and today they lost yet another $1 billion. Turns out they bet on the Lakers. I don’t know what JPMorgan is doing. They announced today they are moving their entire headquarters to Greece.” – Jay Leno “Cher sent out a tweet that got some attention. She said […]
The Senate Banking committee started hearings on the recent problems at JP Morgan (which even Mornan’s chairman said were “sloppy” and “stupid” and would increase the pressure for additional regulation). But thanks to generous donations of campaign cash, the hearing got turned into a circus. Committee members weren’t about to actually, you know, investigate any […]
