Creating a Monster

© Mike Keefe Back when Republicans had control of the presidency, both houses of Congress, and the Supreme Court, they ran up record deficits. They lied us into unnecessary wars, they rammed unfunded Medicare Part D through Congress, they passed out tax breaks to rich people. Why why why would anyone believe that they are […]

Sometimes, you actually are what you hate

CNN has a documentary that has a double helping of irony. The documentary is about Polish Jews who are coming out of the closet about their religion. Not only did communist governments try to suppress all religion, but in the years after WWII antisemitism was rampant in Poland, to the point where many Jews hid […]

GOP Health Fail

The GOP is campaigning to repeal Obama’s health care overhaul bill, calling it socialist and a job killer. To support this, they quote polls that show that Americans oppose the reform bill by numbers like 40% against to 30% in favor (with 30% neutral). So it sounds like Americans want the GOP to kill Obamacare. […]

Jimmy Carter on Fox News

I don’t care what the pundits say about Jimmy Carter. I think he is the nicest, most genuine, and the most underrated president we ever had.

The Modern Court Jesters

John Avlon has a wonderful article over on The Daily Beast about how comedians are taking over the job of what used to be considered “real” journalists. Stephen Colbert testifying in front of Congress. Bill Maher serving as a one-man opposition research division against Wingnut Queen Christine O’Donnell. Jon Stewart hosting a pre-election “Rally to […]

The Best Government Money Can Buy

In the wake of the Supreme Court decision allowing corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money on political races, we are indeed seeing a huge upsurge in the amount of money being spent by third parties for the upcoming election. The NY Times has a couple of maps that show where the money is being […]

“In Delaware, they have a professional witch running for Senate, and she said at one time that she actually had a date on a satanic altar. Whoa! I mean, seriously, who hasn’t? … The date actually took place at Motel 666.” – David Letterman “As you know, Tea Party candidate Christine O’Donnell has come out […]

The Tea and Crumpets Party

© Tom Tomorrow Wait a minute, I can’t seem to tell the difference between the Parallel Earth’s Tea-and-Crumpets Party and our very own Tea Party. Is Tom Tomorrow being ironic? Oh, and the article he mentions in the first panel is here.

Tax Breaks for Koch Industries?

In the Republican’s new “Pledge To America” they say: We will allow small business owners to take a tax deduction equal to 20 percent of their business income. However, there are two common forms of “small business” that doesn’t pay any taxes already. Instead, in Subchapter S corporations and Limited Liability Companies and Partnerships (LLCs), […]

Late Night Political Humor

“There are 37 Republican candidates for the Senate. Not one believes global warming is real and man made. Except the one, Mike Castle, the guy [O’Donnell] defeated in Delaware.” – Bill Maher “I saw that new movie ‘Devil’ or as Delaware Tea Party candidate Christine O’Donnell calls it, ‘Roots’” – Jay Leno “There’s a clip […]

The Attack of the Trojan MILFs!

© Jen Sorensen Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin, and now Christine O’Donnell — is this what is going on? I guess Ronald Reagan completely legitimized actors as politicians, so now the Republicans are working on sexy women as politicians? Watch this video about the “Top 10 Mama Grizzlies“. By the way, no comments about the fact […]

“You know this Tea Party candidate, Christine O’Donnell, is causing a lot of controversy with her kind of unorthodox views. She’s come out against masturbation. You know what that means? She’s out of touch with those voters who are in touch with themselves.” – Jay Leno “Nation, I’ve have been a diehard supporter of Delaware […]
