© August J Pollak As Mitt Romney recently put it, “Corporations are people, my friend.” Indeed they are. Large organizations, whether they are corporations, government, religions, unions, etc. are all made up of people. And these individual people are all trying to get ahead — to make more money, or get more power or influence. […]
Republicans can’t seem to stop talking about birth control: I love it when Rick Santorum claims that he is against birth control because of “the increasing number of children being born out of wedlock in America”. Duh, that’s what birth control will prevent, if it is available to women. Really! © Jim Morin
Earlier this month, presidential candidate Rick Santorum went into a church and publicly lied through his teeth. This wasn’t some momentary hyperbole during a campaign speech, or while arguing with another candidate. The event was a forum at the Grace Bible Church moderated by Dr. James Dobson, the founder of the conservative group Focus on […]
“Tomorrow night is the 20th Republican debate, which explains that new campaign slogan, ‘Vote Mitt Romney — or else we’ll keep doing this.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Everyone throws beads on Mardi Gras. The beads are paid for by local businessmen who ride on elaborate floats and toss little trinkets to the desperate masses in the […]
In Barack Obama’s energy speech this week, he promoted the idea of new biofuels: “We’re making new investments in the development of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel that’s actually made from a plant-like substance known as algae. Believe it or not, we could replace up to 17% of the oil we import for transportation with […]
© Ed Stein Predictably, Republicans are blaming Obama for high gas prices, while Democrats are saying there is little Obama can do. I’m of two minds on this. On one hand, high prices for gasoline seems to be the only thing that can get Americans to shake our dependence on foreign oil. On the other […]
“Rick Santorum is so anti-gay, he doesn’t even want pirates touching their own booty.” – Jay Leno “Rick Santorum is so conservative that when he goes to KFC, he only orders the right wings.” – Jay Leno “This guy is so anti-gay, he won’t even eat a Hershey bar if it has nuts.” – Jay […]
It was the last Republican presidential debate before Super Tuesday. What? You didn’t watch it? No matter. It is much more fun to watch Jon Stewart make fun of it: If that isn’t interesting enough, read Matt Taibbi explain why he enjoyed watching the Republican candidates stick long knives into each other’s backs at the […]
I keep hearing progressives complain because they say Barack Obama is not liberal enough. For example, they say he gave up on single-payer health insurance too easily (I guess he should have wasted all his political capital on single payer like the Clintons did). Or that he should have closed Guantanamo immediately. Or pushed other […]
Lewis Black has a good rant about the media coverage of the death of Whitney Houston.
Given all the screaming going on that Obama is increasing the national debt, it is enlightening to see that the independent Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget released a study today that estimates that the economic plans proposed by Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Mitt Romney would increase the debt by between $250 billion and […]
“Rick Santorum released his tax returns this week, and under withholding he wrote ‘oral sex’.” – Bill Maher “Rick Santorum’s tax returns show that last year, he paid doubled the tax rate that Mitt Romney paid. Romney is much more clever with the deductions. He writes off poor people.” – Jay Leno “Rick Santorum doesn’t […]
© Tom Toles And not just Palin; The Donald has said he would consider running if Rick Santorum gets the Republican nomination.
© Matt Bors Wow, this makes more sense than most of what Santorum actually says. Or if you want to see more silly quotes from the candidates, try this political quote generator.
© Chip Bok Maybe the Fiat company knows something that we haven’t figured out yet — that American workers are just fine, it is just American top management that sucks. But it is ironic that Clint Eastwood first got famous by starring in Italian spaghetti westerns, and now he is creating a stir by doing […]
