Remember when Fox News and other conservative pundits were all over “Climategate”, claiming that scientists had fudged data? Well, a new study done by a scientist who was a climate change skeptic, and funded by none other than the Koch Brothers says that Climategate was a false tempest in a tea party pot and that […]

Herman Cain releases a campaign ad showing his chief of staff taking a drag on a cigarette. Stephen Colbert takes it to the next level: UPDATE: Colbert wasn’t the only person making fun of Cain’s ad. CNN rates the various parodies and shows their favorites. UPDATE 2: Cain defends the ad.

You know it had to happen eventually. Fox News is now blaming ACORN for the Wall Street protests. Well, except that ACORN doesn’t exist anymore. Conservatives made sure of that, even fabricating evidence against them. But some of the same people who used to work for ACORN are now protesting. Well, duh.

“Our badass ninja black president did it again. Don’t fuck with this guy. So far this year he killed Somali pirates, he killed bin Laden, he killed al-Awlaki, now he’s killed Gaddafi. The only threat to our way now is from Bank of America.” – Bill Maher “Today Obama was seen leaving the White House […]

Sometimes I wonder if Matt Taibbi is the only political pundit not just with any brains, but with any common sense. First, go read his blog post “OWS’s Beef: Wall Street Isn’t Winning – It’s Cheating“. Go ahead. It’s short and should be required reading. I’ll wait for you here… OK, you’re back. How blind […]

I know I’ve said it before, but Jon Stewart is brilliant. And he’s on a roll with this one, pointing out the utter hypocrisy of the chicken hawks.

© Jen Sorensen I’m not sure I buy the argument that people would pay more attention to the Occupy Wall Street protestors if they dressed up in business suits. After all, we seemed to pay plenty of attention to the Teabaggers. And a majority of Americans already agree with the Wall Street protests.

© Tom Tomorrow I’m not sure why this is a comic — it sound just like things I’m actually hearing on the news.
Adbusters, the group that is largely responsible for the Occupy Wall Street protests, has come out with their own idea for a simple demand: On October 29, on the eve of the G20 Leaders Summit in France, let’s the people of the world rise up and demand that our G20 leaders immediately impose a 1% […]
[Written by Fred Wickham] Right wing commentators have been trashing the Wall Street Occupiers. “What is it they stand for?” they’re demanding. And, frankly, it is about time they took one simple stand. My suggestion is that the protestors demand the reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall act. That is the piece of legislation from 1933 which […]
© Dan Wasserman As Slate Magazine points out, voter fraud is statistically extremely rare. Heck, it’s hard enough to get legal registered voters to just go vote. So why are Republicans suddenly passing all kinds of laws that put roadblocks in front of voters to prevent voter fraud? One guess.
“Earlier this week, a protester at Occupy Wall Street proposed to his girlfriend. His exact words were, ‘Will you occupy my parents’ basement with me until I get a job?’” – Conan O’Brien “Herman Cain is out there, he says a lot of provocative things. He said America should build its own Great Wall of […]
Jon Stewart on the end of the Libyan war and the Republican reaction to it. The best part is the second half.
