In this week’s conservative hypocritical moment, likely presidential candidate Mike Huckabee condemned Oscar winner Natalie Portman for “glamourising” her out-of-wedlock pregnancy: One of the things that’s troubling is that people see a Natalie Portman or some other Hollywood starlet who boasts of, “Hey look, you know, we’re having children, we’re not married, but we’re having […]
If you attempt to pay a highway toll Florida with a 20 dollar bill (or larger), you could be detained and not allowed to leave until you provide identification. That sounds inconvenient, but detaining someone without legal authority is actually a serious crime. So Florida resident Joel Chandler called and emailed the Florida Department of […]

“The Middle East has their own Charlie Sheen right now: Moammar Gadhafi.” – Conan O’Brien “Moammar Gadhafi is starting to sound a little crazy. Al-Jazeera canceled his show, ‘Two and a Half Shiites.’” – David Letterman “They’re saying Gadhafi is ‘disconnected from reality.’ According to the State Department, Gadhafi thought this year’s Oscars were fantastic.” […]
My hat’s off to the Daily Show. Pure genius. How can the American people believe this crap coming from the mainstream media?
© Matt Davies We know why the states are facing big deficits — because the collapse of the economy lowered tax revenues. And we know who caused the economy to collapse. So why are we punishing state workers? I’m guessing that if you took all those bonuses that were awarded to bankers, it would more […]
A few days ago, I posted a story about the Republicans unanimously voting to give $5 billion a year in subsidies to big oil companies, which even oil company executives said they didn’t need. Well, it happened again. This time, Congress voted to spend $13 billion on not one but two weapon system programs, which […]
“On a rambling call to a TV station, Gadhafi ranted about his enemies and blamed others for his problems. He said he feels fine and is ready to go back to work. He’s now the Charlie Sheen of Libya.” – Jay Leno “People complained that the Oscars were too dull. They’ve already named the hosts […]

Today, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Westboro Baptist Church, protecting their right of free speech. This is a case where you can easily read the official court opinion — or at least the summary, rather than believing what some media pundit says about it. The ruling was almost unanimous, with only Justice […]
“Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi described President Obama as an African of Arab and Muslim descent. After the speech, Gadhafi was given his own show on Fox News.” – Conan O’Brien “Moammar Gadhafi said that Libyan protesters were all on drugs, and then he blamed it on Al Qaeda. Now, he’s saying it’s the fault of […]
Back in 2008, the CEO of Shell Oil, John Hofmeister, testified in Congressional hearings that when oil and gasoline prices are high that big oil companies do not need the subsidies they get from the government. He also noted that executives of major oil companies agree. These federal subsidies were originally designed to encourage exploration […]
“Economists say that with all this unrest, gas prices could rise to $5 a gallon. The good news is that instead of this money going to ruthless America-hating dictators, it will go to ruthless America-hating democracies.” – Jay Leno “In 50 years, gas-powered cars will be antiquated. You’ll only see them in museums, or in […]
