“Congress will have a Secret Santa exchange involving both parties. The Democrats will give Republicans a gift. And that’s it.” – Seth Meyers “The Senate is doing its first-ever Secret Santa gift exchange this year. Yeah, there’s a $10 spending limit, but they plan to go $14 trillion over budget.” – Jimmy Fallon “The good […]
The Senate has passed a defense authorization bill that allows the military to indefinitely detain American citizens on US soil, without trial or even charges. Goodbye due process, goodbye rule of law, goodbye sixth (and fourth) amendment, and if the government can arbitrarily throw citizens in prison forever, what do any other rights mean? Here […]

The Senate race in Massachusetts looks like it will be one of the hardest fought, and most closely watched races of the 2012 election. Republican Scott Brown stunned Democrats when he won Edward Kennedy’s old seat in 2010, which Dems stupidly assumed they owned. But now, Elizabeth Warren is leading Brown in polls by seven […]
“No one in the media is giving Herman Cain credit for having been faithful to the same mistress for 13 years.” – Jimmy Kimmel “Cain now says he’s consulting with his family whether to stay in the race. Really? You think that’s what he’s discussing with his wife, about staying in the race? How about […]
© Mike Stanfill This comic leaves out one important step in this computer program, where the congressman receives large campaign contributions from the corporations. In a related irony, the GOP rejects the “millionaires surtax” but NPR can’t find a single millionaire who objects to it. And neither could Republicans in the House and Senate, or […]
Whether or not you think he’d make a good president (and I personally don’t think he would), I’m really glad Ron Paul is running for president, since it gives him a platform to point out truths (which is the job that our corporate-owned mainstream media is too scared or too dishonest to do). For example, […]
The Republicans have managed to frame public opinion about Obama with the constant media noise about how he hasn’t accomplished anything. It doesn’t matter that the Republicans have filibustered just about everything Obama does, but that hasn’t stopped the media from convincing former Obama supporters to feel betrayed by him. For example, the LA Times […]
Presidential candidate Rick Perry released a campaign ad that starts “I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a Christian, but you don’t need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there’s something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can’t openly celebrate Christmas or pray […]
© Tom Tomorrow Given the situation, why was the media so surprised by the Occupy Wall Street protests? Oh that’s right, the media is owned by the one percent!
Commentary by Ed Stein: I couldn’t resist this one. After seeing ads for expensive new cars with big gift bows on top, diamond necklaces and fancy winter vacations, I started wondering what the average American will be getting from Santa this year. With so many unemployed, so many forced out of their homes, so many […]
Speaking at a Christian college in Iowa, presidential candidate Rick Santorum was asked an interesting question by a student. Citing a study from Harvard University, the student asked if “God appreciates the fact that we have 50 to 100 thousand uninsured Americans dying due to a lack of healthcare every year.” “Dying?” he countered. “I […]
© Tom Tomorrow I agree with the sentiment that they should have made better decisions. Like deciding to vote for someone who doesn’t blame the victims for their misfortunes.
I wanted to call this “Son of TARP” but as Jon Stewart points out, this was 11 times bigger than TARP. Plus the government lied about it. Is there any doubt at all that we have government of the banks, by the banks, and for the banks?
