“John Boehner chose a huge gavel. I think somebody’s compensating for his small government.” – Stephen Colbert “How about the new Speaker of the House, John Boehner. Have you seen this guy’s enormous gavel. I’m telling you, if in four hours, that gavel is still that size, he’s got to call a doctor.” – David […]
© RR Anderson I had to think about it before I posted this comic, because I could be accused of doing the same thing people like Sarah Palin are doing. But that’s the whole point. It has to stop. Violent, eliminationist rhetoric has to stop, no matter which side it comes from. We don’t have […]
Yes, [the Republican] party has worked to achieve certain goals like repeal of the president’s health care reform law, and at times we have employed rhetoric like “massive government takeover” and “death panels.” Yet, while some have called this “troubling” and “irrational,” it certainly could not have influenced the shooter, for he was clearly troubled […]
© Nate Beeler I wonder if the Republicans actually believe that repealing HCR is the right thing to do, if they are just automatically opposed to anything Obama does, or if they are merely trying to keep their increasingly fringe base energized.
“The Republicans now control the House, and they say their plan is to stick to a strict interpretation of the original Constitution. So I hope you didn’t like voting, women and non-whites.” – Jimmy Kimmel “They’re also hoping to cut back on government regulation on Wall Street. I think we can all agree that Wall […]
© Verbalobe I am not going to blame Sarah Palin for the shooting of Congresswoman Giffords, and I support the second amendment. But the cutsie/violent rhetoric being used by the right against their opponents has got to stop. It is becoming terrorism.
© Adam Zyglis As the minority party, the Republicans were able to get away with being the Party of No, but now that they have a majority in the House, and an improved ability to filibuster the Senate, how long can they keep up being the party that is just opposed to everything the Democrats […]
Author Douglas Rushkoff has an interesting take on the current Facebook phenomenon, which he likens to a bubble in our increasingly short attention span world, where we can’t even remember what happened to MySpace, or AOL, or a host of other flavor of the moment companies. But as usual, I’ll leave the last word to […]
Forbes magazine has a new article that points out that — despite what Republicans are saying about the health care reform bill killing jobs — that Obamacare is helping small businesses offer health care to their employees. This is great news. I have started a number of small businesses, and I have long said that […]
“This weekend in Arkansas, thousands of dead birds dropped out of the sky and there were 100,000 dead fish in the rivers. Also, McDonald’s is having a special on Chicken McNuggets and Filet of Fish.” – Jay Leno “Apparently this is Arkansas’ version of the New Year’s Eve ball drop.” – Jay Leno “You know […]
Jon Stewart covers the debate to see who will be the next chairman of the Republican National Committee: My favorite question at the debate: “Aside from President Reagan, who is your political hero?” And speaking of litmus tests, how about the “how many guns do you own” question? Stewart is on a roll this week. […]
© Joel Pett I always worry when politicians start using phrases like “everybody knows” or “nobody believes”. Like RNC chair Michael Steele responding to the CBO estimate that repealing Obamacare will cost $230 billion by saying “There is no one that believes the Washington Democrats’ job-killing health care law will lower costs, because it won’t.” […]
