Even though I think the Arizona immigration law is stupid and racist, I can’t help but enjoy this comic, which makes fun of people (like me) who point out that illegal immigrants are only taking jobs that we don’t want anyway. © John Trever
Maybe the Glenn Beck show is trying to tell us that if we get rid of Beck himself, it might just get worse. Because while Beck was on vacation, his fill-in host, Doc Thompson, said this gem: For years I’ve suggested that racism was in decline and yeah, there are some, you know, incidents that […]
To me, the point that this video actually makes is that the term “conservative” has lost its meaning. [Hat tip to Cliff Schecter at The Political Carnival] UPDATE: Newsweek has an excellent article about Reagan, the man and the myth, that tries to answer the question: What would Reagan really do?
© Rob Rogers Not to mention that bailing out the investment banks will only encourage them to rape and pillage the economy again. And electing Republicans in November will only encourage them to repeat the mess they got us into during the Bush administration. Learn from Republican logic. Don’t encourage them.
“Back in 1776, Americans were fighting to escape British rule, these days we’re fighting to escape British oil.” – Jay Leno “The East Coast is suffering from a terrible heat wave. Wall Street bankers are jumping out of windows just for the cool breeze on the way down.” – Jay Leno “Queen Elizabeth is visiting […]
© Jim Morin Well, it looks like Michael Steele might get to keep his job as RNC Chairman. Apparently, Republicans are afraid of a drawn-out fight over their most prominent African-American leader during the build-up to the November elections. Instead, they are going to try to marginalize him. After all, his term as chairman is […]
The story of Alvin Greene just keeps getting weirder. As you (might) recall, Greene won the Democratic primary for senator in South Carolina, despite running the stealthiest stealth mode campaign in history, and having no money, no political experience, and an outstanding felony charge. But the newest twist comes from an interview in The Guardian […]
From the National Review Online: An Idea for the RNC: Dump Steele, Hire Palin [Kevin D. Williamson] Re: Steele and the RNC: Allow me to chime in with my usual observation on this subject: This is a job for Sarah Palin. Palin would be a much better RNC chairman than presidential candidate or freelance kingmaker. […]
© Tom Toles I don’t know if you are following the confirmation hearings, but Kagan seems to be doing a good job of slyly pointing out the hypocrisy of her interrogators. When Republican Senator Tom Coburn ask what she would do if Congress pass a law requiring Americans “to eat three vegetables and three fruits […]
Two articles caught my eye today that epitomize what’s wrong with today’s conservative movement in America — all they have left is rage. What else could explain this completely bizarre editorial in the Chicago Sun-Times by Terry Savage. While driving through an upscale neighborhood on a hot day she noticed three little girls had set […]
“Sunday is July 4, when America combines our two favorite pastimes: alcohol and explosives.” – David Letterman “July 4 is my favorite holiday. No presents, no church, just a lighter and a trunk full of explosives.” – Jimmy Kimmel “The fireworks are beautiful to look at, but more importantly, they drown out the gunfire.” – […]
© Matt Wuerker Considering that the Boston Tea Party was actually against the East India Tea Company (the then equivalent of a multinational corporation) it is difficult to believe that the founders of this country really intended for corporations to have the same rights as people and for money to be considered protected speech.
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), currently touring Afghanistan, when asked about Michael Steele’s recent comments about this being “Obama’s War”: This is not President Obama’s war. This is America’s war. … I want to separate myself from that statement. And the good news is Michael Steele is backtracking so fast, he’s going to be in Kabul […]
“They’re having the confirmation hearings down in Washington, D.C., with Elena Kagan. And so far, the woman has offered very few opinions. I thought to myself, well, my God — how do you find a woman like that?” – David Letterman “Here’s how savvy the Russian spies are and were — they knew four years […]
Here at Political Irony, we firmly believe that comedy is the best cure for political problems (well, at the very least it helps you laugh at them). So we were very happy to see Stephen Colbert join with the United Farm Workers of America in a new website: http://www.takeourjobs.org/. The website invites anyone who is […]
