Glenn Greenwald has a disturbing report concerning WikiLeaks, Bank of America, and the merger of corporate and government power in this country. I’m loathe to use the overused word “fascism” but the textbook definition of that particular f-word is the alignment of the government and economy of a country around corporatist interests. Just in case […]

The Republicans refused to pass anything.” – Jay Leno “On the ‘Today’ show, Michelle Obama called the Bush twins ‘magnificent’ and Chelsea Clinton a ‘solid young woman.’ In fact, the […]

That will go up even more once his unemployment kicks in.” – Jimmy Fallon “Hosni Mubarak is supposedly worth around $80 billion.

I thought the goal was to establish democracy in Egypt, and try to get rid of their crushing corruption? How does having Mubarak step down, to be replaced by his handpicked vice president, guarantee this will happen?

Of the 52 official members of Michelle Bachmann’s Tea Party Caucus, 44 of them voted for the Patriot Act on Tuesday. Wow. What part of “small government” and “protect the constitution” do they not understand?

Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly is waging a war against science. His technique is simple: come up with examples in the world that “nobody” can explain and use that to claim that there must be a god. But what is really hilarious about this are the examples he is picking. Ranker put together a list of […]

“This year’s Super Bowl was the most-watched event in history. Take that, moon landing.” – Craig Ferguson “The head of Homeland Security told people at the game, if they saw anything not right give them a call.

A new poll from CNN shows that the most important thing they want in a presidential candidate in 2012 is someone who can defeat Obama — even if that candidate disagrees with them on major issues and ideology. I guess I’m happy that Republicans are taking a slight break from ideology, but only so they […]

In 2003, Boeing decided to use a very aggressive outsourcing strategy in order to slash the cost of developing their new 787 Dreamliner. But last month, the Boeing Commercial Airplanes chief admitted that this strategy backfired completely — outsourcing cost far more money than it saved, and led to a three year delay in the […]
