© Rob Rogers Despite promising to fight for jobs, the Republicans did not even allow a vote on Obama’s jobs bill. Even more telling is their alternative “Jobs Through Growth Act” bill. It doesn’t contain a single item in Obama’s jobs bill (even though Republicans supported many of Obama’s proposals before Obama proposed them), but […]
Herman Cain is currently leading in several polls for the Republican presidential nomination. Since several other candidates have held the lead for brief periods, some people think that Cain might just be the flavor of the month, but there is something different about Cain. Remember when the Tea Party movement became funded by the Koch […]
“The Occupy Wall Street protesters gathered outside Rupert Murdoch’s house chanting, ‘What do we want?’ Murdoch interrupted saying, ‘I already know, I hacked your phones.’” – Craig Ferguson “The Occupy Wall Street protesters traveled around New York to stand outside the mansions of the most wealthy people in New York. Is that protesting or tourism?” […]
© Ed Stein If Wall Street is going to kick people out of their homes and occupy their houses, isn’t it fair that people should be able to occupy Wall Street in retaliation? Stein also provides commentary to his comic: I was working my way across the radio dial on my way home the other […]

“It’s the 24th day of the Occupy Wall Street protests, also known as the largest homeless slumber party in the world.” – Jimmy Kimmel “Some protesters brought their kids to the demonstrations. Some of the kids got bored and decided to occupy Sesame Street instead.” – Jimmy Kimmel “Because of Columbus Day all the banks […]

© Lee Judge To be honest, I don’t blame this entirely on the right. The media loves a horse race.
“Chris Christie announced he would not enter the race. In a statement he said ‘Look at me. Do I look like I’m ready to race anyone?’” – Bill Maher “And Chris Christie isn’t running. This guy had a lot of followers. Most of then were ivory poachers, but still …” – David Letterman “On Tuesday […]

A NYPD narcotics detective has testified in federal court that it is common practice to fabricate drug charges against innocent people in order to meet their arrest quotas. “It was something I was seeing a lot of, whether it was from supervisors or undercovers and even investigators.” When asked by the judge whether he was […]
“Here’s why Sarah Palin says she won’t be running for president. She says she can be more effective at getting others elected by not running. And I thought, well, that’s true, because in 2008 she got Obama elected.” – David Letterman “Palin said she could help the country more by not running for president. Today, […]
© Jen Sorensen House Majority Leader Eric Cantor expresses his concern about the Occupy Wall Street “mobs”. Unfortunately, in the wake of Citizen’s United, the free speech of ordinary citizens (even expressed as protests) is dwarfed by the “free speech” of unlimited corporate cash. Not only that, but since it is corporate cash (in the […]
