© Jen Sorensen This isn’t really all that crazy. I watched almost the same thing happen in England in the 80’s. A friend of mine who is a brilliant computer programmer was trying to get a job in England, but he could get a higher salary working in a bank. He moved to the US, […]
[This is fake news, reprinted from Andy Borowitz] In the first major policy fallout from the WikiLeaks disclosures, the State Department has ordered all U.S. diplomats to “cease and desist telling the truth until further notice.” “We are working overtime to try to make sure that leaks like these don’t happen again,” Secretary of State […]
“President Obama held a ceremony at the White House to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah. In response, Republicans said, ‘It’s even worse than we thought. He’s a Jewish Muslim.’” – Conan O’Brien “The miracle of Hanukkah is that there was only enough oil to keep the menorah lit for one night and it lasted […]

This week, the National Association of Manufacturers issued a statement against HR 4853 (the Middle Class Tax Relief Act), which extends the Bush tax cuts for all income under $250,000 a year.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney says we should waterboard the Internet.” – Jimmy Kimmel “WikiLeaks shows our allies are also funding the terrorists. So we’re like the commissionless middlemen in a war we’re […]
Maybe I’m just angry today, but I rather enjoyed this rant by Senator Bernie Sanders. I am in no way a socialist, but I would have trouble disagreeing with much of what he says here: History shows us that many of the countries that went socialist or communist in the last century did so because […]

To celebrate the fact that millions of Americans are about to lose their unemployment benefits just in time for Christmas, Glenn Beck declared that we have been sold a lie that the poor in America are suffering.

“According to the TSA, most of the people protesting the new body search procedures are men. At last they’re getting to see what it’s like to be groped by someone who won’t take no for an answer.” – Jay Leno “Yesterday a woman wore a bikini to LAX airport hoping to avoid the patdown. She […]
