“Doctors say Dick Cheney may need a heart transplant, but Cheney isn’t worried. He’s already picked out a hunting buddy.” – David Letterman “Dick Cheney says he may need a heart transplant. I understand Halliburton has a no-bid contract to do the installation on it.” – Jay Leno “Dick Cheney may need a new heart. […]
It doesn’t matter if it comes from the right or the left. This kind of discourse must be shunned. Kudos to Jon Stewart for making it clear enough that anyone can understand.

The Corrigan Brothers update their song “There’s no one as Irish as Barack Obama” for the 2012 election. Although Obama-mania as died down a bit, the new video is still hilarious and a sweet reminder of all the good times from the 2008 election.

And how can it be so cheap? Because your tax dollars are already paying for it.
© Nick Anderson Every complaint the Republicans have about the current Health Care Reform bill was even more true of the prescription drug benefit they rammed through Congress in 2003 (which was really a huge giveaway to the drug companies). I guess the real problem is that they can’t take credit for this one.
In June 2010, Glenn Beck says “You’re going to have to shoot them in the head”. Watch it: I’m not arguing that Glenn Beck is responsible for the Tucson shooting spree, where Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head. I’m just saying that the incendiary rhetoric has got to stop. I’m not proposing any […]
“I want you teabaggers out there to understand one thing: while you idolize the Founding Fathers and dress up like them, and smell like them, I think it’s pretty clear that the Founding Fathers would have hated your guts. And what’s more, you would’ve hated them. They were everything you despise. They studied science, read […]
© Tom Tomorrow Political cartoonists like Tom Tomorrow deserve our support. I just bought his new book, and it is hilarious. More satire and irony than you can shake a politician at.
The Republicans have controlled the house for just two weeks (and still have a minority in the Senate), but when new job numbers came out that show the economy is growing and unemployment is falling, that didn’t stop the GOP from trying to take credit. Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyle (R-AZ) claimed that soaring corporate […]
I have long believed that our “energy problems” are way overblown, both from the right (“drill, baby drill”) and from the left (“peak oil”). After all, the issue is energy, not oil, and we are literally awash in energy. The sun bombards us with trillions of times more energy than we need every single day. […]
[from Fred Wickham’s Bullseye Rooster] The new Republican congress has unveiled its alternative Health Care Plan. Ersatzomine™, a new, fast-acting placebo from Pfizer. While ObamaCare has resolutley ignored free-market solutions to the nation’s health problems, Pfizer buckled down to the challenge: produce an alternative to government mandated procedures in an attractive pill form. “For less […]
Funny video (if you don’t take it too seriously) about Chinese President Hu Jintao visiting DC:
Republicans who are gearing up to repeal the health care reform bill are trying to make the case that health care reform is bad for jobs. They even named the repeal bill the “Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act”. Now they are claiming that 650,000 jobs will be lost as a result of HCR, […]
