The conservative rag American Spectator is calling for Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to resign. They say “If she can no longer support and defend the Constitution, as she is sworn to do, she should leave — and take the New York Times with her.” What brought this on? It turns out that during […]

Republicans have been accusing Obama of waging war on the Catholic Church, if not on religion in general, because he won’t let the church have its way on issues like birth control. However, the same politicians who are attacking Obama have voted against the Catholic Church in a number of other (even bigger) policy issues. […]

“Mitt Romney said today that he learned something. There are things that money can’t buy — like Colorado, Minnesota, Missouri.” – Jay Leno “Romney’s campaign is in such bad shape, today he moved the part in his hair even further to the right.” – Jay Leno “This Saturday is the drawing for one of the […]

© Tom Tomorrow I usually don’t like comics like this, where they make fun of a politician for something they didn’t actually do (especially when there are plenty of things they did do that are just as bad). But this one is making a good (albeit subtle) point. The vampire capitalism practiced by companies like […]

“Mitt Romney lost all three of the primaries. Today, he begged Donald Trump to take back his endorsement.” – David Letterman “Romney was at a loss to explain why he dropped the ball. In fact, his wife is now blaming it on the New England Patriot receivers.” – Jay Leno “It was a big setback […]

Everyone has heard about the common offense (at least in police eyes) of “Driving While Black” but this is a new twist. A white man who is babysitting his 5-year-old black granddaughter is hassled (more than once) by police. Mind you, we are only seeing one side of this story, but his account certainly has […]

Has anyone checked the temperature in hell recently? Fox News host Bill O’Reilly has written a column that I completely agree with! In fact, it is downright reasonable. O’Reilly defends JC Penney’s right to hire Ellen DeGeneres as a spokesperson. She is openly gay, and at least one conservative group is calling for JC Penney […]

“The Obama administration has been slammed for a health insurance rule that forces Catholic organizations to provide contraception. Even more controversial, the church would also have to provide dim lighting, wine coolers, and an R. Kelly mix tape.” – Conan O’Brien “Former presidential candidate Jon Huntsman is on the show tonight. If you know anything […]

© Jim Morin © Lee Judge I’m still convinced that the Republicans will eventually come to their senses, and realize that Rick Santorum, while being the ideal ultra-conservative, is so far out of the mainstream that he has no chance of getting elected. I mean, someone who wants to outlaw birth control even for married […]

“President Obama has ordered new sanctions against Iran’s central bank for engaging in deceptive practices. I’ve got a better idea, how about sanctions against OUR banks for deceptive practices?” – Jay Leno “One of the most talked about [Super Bowl] commercials was the one with Clint Eastwood, where he said, ‘It’s halftime in America, and […]

© Adam Zyglis The whole bruhaha about birth control was just a political stunt. Twenty eight states already require the Catholic Church to cover birth control in their insurance policies, and 97% of Catholic women have used birth control at sometime in their life.

Since when does religious freedom equal the freedom for religions to control the lives of people, even people who don’t believe in their religion? Religious freedom is the freedom for people (not corporations as people, not churches as people, but real people) to practice whatever religion they please, without interference from the government. So how […]

I was pleasantly surprised by an editorial by conservative George Will condemning Republicans for saying that Obama is weak on defense. By George, Will wonders never cease! Here are two quotes from it, but the whole thing is short and definitely worth a read. The U.S. defense budget is about 43 percent of the world’s […]

© Derf In the current Republican race, what’s important is not the winner of the latest primary or caucus, what’s important is who is losing. After all, all of the current candidates have won at least once (except for Ron Paul). As candidates lose momentum and drop out, the winner will not be the person […]
