White House Involved In Sherrod Firing

USDA employee Shirley Sherrod was forced to resign after a misleadingly edited video of her was posted by Andrew Breitbart to his website, Big Government. At the time, the White House blamed her dismissal on Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, claiming that the White House had been informed, but not consulted about the firing. But that’s […]

“Today is the multi-state primary known as ‘Super Tuesday.’ It’s going to be followed tomorrow by ‘Now we’re really stuck with Romney Wednesday.’” – Conan O’Brien “With Super Tuesday coming up… there is not much time left until all conservatives are obliged to bury our feelings and find Mitt Romney attractive.” – Stephen Colbert “It’s […]

Unfair and Unbalanced

Back in 2008 when gas prices spiked, Fox News said “no President has the power to increase or to lower gas prices.” And that the best way to reduce gas prices is to reduce consumption, so Americans should “get rid of those gas guzzlers, buy decent insulation for your house.” But now, Fox News is […]

The Real Apology

© August J. Pollak No matter what you think about what Rush Limbaugh said recently, what really surprises me is that anyone actually listens to anything he says. Or that there are any companies willing to sponsor him. What does the fact that so many Americans listen to him (and even believe him) say about […]

Endangered Species

© Brian McFadden My only argument with this comic is the panel where he says “They’re centrists. Doing nothing is what comes naturally to them.” Our current hyper-partisan government makes a lot of noise, but I think we got a whole hell of a lot more done back when there were more moderates and centrists […]

“I thought the election was gonna be all about the economy. But the economy started doing better. So Republicans went to Plan B: calling women whores.” – Bill Maher “Japanese researchers have invented a speech-jamming gun that can silence people from 30 meters away. You fire this at them, and they can stop talking. It […]

The Bad Ends Meet

Someone once said that if you go far enough on the political spectrum to either the right or the left, you’ll get to the same place. That may explain why Bill Maher tweeted today that liberals should accept Rush Limbaugh’s apology for his “insulting choice of words” when he called Sandra Fluke a “slut” and […]

Natural Contraception

Apparently the dog likes the current administration but he’s not sure he wants another 28 years of Obama.” – Conan O’Brien “While visiting a GM plant President Obama pledged to buy a Chevy Volt after his presidency ends in five years.

Jon Stewart v. Rush Limbaugh

Politicians may be afraid to take on Rush Limbaugh, but a few people aren’t: I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, Jon Stewart is brilliant. As an added bonus, Stephen Colbert “rushes” to make sure that Stewart doesn’t have all the fun: Twenty six companies have pulled their advertising from Limbaugh’s show. If […]

Corporate Sponsorship

Chasing the News

© Schot Increasingly, the main subjects of the media is the media itself, or stuff they just make up. Look at the coverage of the Republican primaries, or about Rush Limbaugh, or celebrities, etc.

Late Night Political Humor

“Mitt Romney won in Michigan last night. It was certainly a close race — a real nail-biter or, in Romney’s case, a real manicure.” – David Letterman “Last night Mitt Romney came in first place in the Michigan primary, although he barely won. Incidentally, ‘barely one’ is also the total number of votes Ron Paul […]

Pots and Kettles

© Lalo Alcaraz And a drug whore at that. Limbaugh issued a rather lame apology on his website for calling a woman a “slut” and a “prostitute”, but it doesn’t seem like that is going to be enough. Despite the apology, two more sponsors have pulled the plug on Limbaugh, bringing the total number of […]
