© Ruben Bolling Why is it that even though the economy grows more under Democratic presidents than Republican presidents, businesses seem to favor Republicans? If you look at the years 1948 to 2007, with Republican presidents, the gross national product grew by an average of 1.64% per capita, while under Democratic presidents, the GNP grew […]
Rand Paul, the newly elected Republican/libertarian/Tea Party candidate from Kentucky just came out and said what no other Republican will dare say — that in order to balance the budget he would be willing to cut military spending. It is such an obvious thing, really. We currently spend more money on our military than the […]
The dust hasn’t even settled after the election, which saw significant gains for Republicans, but already at least one of them is calling for yet another war. Senator Lindsay Graham sees going to war with Iran “not to just neutralize their nuclear program, but to sink their navy, destroy their air force and deliver a […]
[reprinted from NewsBiscuit] Sauron, the Dark Lord of Mordor and Nameless Enemy has announced his plans to become the new figurehead of the US Tea Party movement, ousting Sarah Palin from her unofficial role. In a statement released from the Dark Tower yesterday, he said he will abandon his frankly childish vendetta against anyone named […]
William Saletan has a thoughtful article that takes the media to task for obsessing about politics as a sport, where the only thing that matters is whether you win or lose, and nobody cares how you actually play the game. After all, we keep saying that we want our politicians to be less partisan, and […]
“Election day is so over. We are going to have divided government now. The Senate and the House have become Dina and Michael Lohan, and we’re all Lindsay.” – Jimmy Kimmel “Finally, the 2010 elections are over and we can get started on the campaign for 2012.” – Craig Ferguson The Republicans won by a […]
Fox News host Chris Wallace appeared on The Daily Show on the Wednesday after the election, and Wallace half-joked about how the 2012 Republican presidential primary could be produced as a reality TV show on Fox News. Like “American Idol” or “Dancing with the Stars”, they could call it “The GOP Presidential Primary”. After all […]
© Drew Sheneman I, for one, am really looking forward to the Republicans actually coming up with some ideas.
“Although many of her Republican colleagues were elected to the House, Christine O’Donnell ended up underneath it, with her feet curled up.” – Jimmy Kimmel “Our forefathers fought and died for our right to choose, and to honor them, today almost 12% of us went out and voted.” – Jimmy Kimmel “In Jackson County, WV, […]
Well, actually, no. Keith Olbermann was suspended indefinitely without pay from his job on MSNBC for donating money to political candidates. Well, actually no, again. Although I’ve seen plenty of headlines saying this. If truth be told, MSNBC does not prohibit employees from donating to political candidates, but it does require them to obtain prior […]
In England, using a law that has not been used in 99 years, an election court has ruled that a member of parliament knowingly made false statements about an opponent in the election held last May. If upheld, he could be removed from his seat and prevented from running for office for three years. The […]
Apparently, the right-wing noise machine does need to make things up. Watch Michelle Bachmann, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Don Imus on Fox News, and Michael Savage repeat the ridiculously unbelievable lie that Obama’s trip to Asia will cost $200 million a day (that’s more than the entire Afghanistan war costs per day). The same stupendous […]
The first episode of Sarah Palin’s new reality TV show “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” is now online, and in it, she complains bitterly about her lack of privacy. Oh the irony. UPDATE: Even more irony! Palin was complaining about next-door neighbor Joe McGinniss, who is writing a book about Palin. But the crew of her reality […]
