If I have any overall political philosophy, it is that I am against rampant no-compromise ideology and for pragmatism. For example, I am strongly in favor of protecting second amendment gun rights, but at the same time I am for common sense restrictions on gun ownership and use. Let me make an analogy — I […]
© Tom Tomorrow Sometimes fairy tales do come true. I can’t think of any reason why this one shouldn’t.
In the last few days, a few Republican presidential candidates have broken with party orthodoxy in order to state what would seem to be obvious truths. For example, in an interview with Time magazine, Jon Huntsman said: I’m not a meteorologist. All I know is 90 percent of the scientists say climate change is occurring. […]
“Newt Gingrich is running for President. Every 6 months we’d have a different First Lady. Newt’s slogan is, ‘At least I’m not Trump.’” – Jay Leno “Newt Gingrich announced that he’s running for president on Twitter and Facebook. I think his concession speech will be on YouTube.” – David Letterman “Donald Trump says he uses […]
© Matt Bors Now that Donald Trump has decided not to run for some reason, the comedians can turn their attention to Newt Gingrich, who is definitely running. Let the humor begin!
See this previous post for background on this one. UPDATE: Transcript of entire interview (on Fox News). What happened after what’s included in the above video is just as much fun. Or you can watch part 2 on video. UPDATE 2: At least I admire O’Reilly for publishing the poll results.
“The interior minister of Pakistan says that they have nothing to hide. Yeah, not anymore.” – Jay Leno “The White House described the relationship between the United States and Pakistan as ‘complicated.’ In fact it’s so complicated that the U.S. just sent our ambassador over there to get our CDs and T-shirts back.” – Conan […]
Bill Maher is on a roll this week. It is interesting that right after Maher’s recent brilliant monologue praising Obama, he now equally brilliantly points out the hypocrisy of something Obama recently said. Both are right on. UPDATE: Yet more great Bill Maher, this time being interviewed on Hardball. He’s as good answering random questions […]
The Daily Show creates a new meme: Foxygen — what you have to be breathing to believe the crap they show on Fox News.
© Ed Stein I love the fact that Ed Stein gives commentary along with his comics. Here’s the commentary for this one: Once upon a time, Republicans could have original ideas, could differ from others in their party on substantive issues, and could come up with creative pragmatic solutions to problems. That was then. Now, […]
“President Obama said that watching the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound was the longest 40 minutes of his life, except for every time he asks Joe Biden what’s up.” – Conan O’Brien “President Obama said that watching the raid on Osama bin Laden was the longest 40 minutes of his life. Mind you, that’s […]
Many of us complain about the media, but we rarely get solid numerical proof that something is wrong. But a study published earlier this month evaluated the accuracy of predictions made by political pundits. Their results? Most pundits were no better at predicting things than tossing a coin. Interestingly, liberal pundits were more accurate than […]
© Matt Bors I am so glad Palin is no longer holding any elected office.
The published, edited version: Andrew Breitbart is the enemy of truth. He showed two videos that had an NAACP chap that didn’t give a white farmer the sweat off his balls. The original version, with editing marks: Andrew Breitbart is the enemy of big government. He uncovered the truth beneath a deceptive administration when he […]
Bill Maher hits the nail on the head:
