Jon Stewart takes Obama to task:
I know that people were offended by the comments that Helen Thomas made about Israel, but even the Jewish side of me thinks they weren’t that bad. And she did apologize. So to lose her job over it? Why Helen Thomas, and not Rush Limbaugh? © Glenn McCoy Personally, I like the idea of moving […]

“After 40 years, Al and Tipper Gore have split up. Nobody knows why, but there is a rumor today that Al came home early last week and found another man’s carbon footprints.” – Bill Maher “They could tell he was lonely as of late because when he’d hug a tree, he’d linger.” – Bill Maher […]
The Washington Post has an interesting comment about an usual approach to help solve the massive oil spill in the gulf, which actually worked! Obama has also called in some of the many scientists on the federal payroll, led by Energy Secretary Steven Chu, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist. Chu at one point pushed the unusual […]
I don’t know if this is ironic or just novel, but former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich is using Twitter to tweet during his federal corruption trial. You too can follow along with governorrod!

Why is it that racists always start sentences with “I am not a racist, but …”? Are they really in denial or are they just lying? And they almost always follow up with some comment about being “very good friends” with some member of the minority in question. Arizona is making racist news again. This […]

Last Wednesday Diebold agreed to pay $25 million in a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for fraudulently manipulating its earnings to meet financial forecasts. But the SEC is pursuing additional fraud charges against three former executives, including their chief financial officer, controller and finance chief, and the director of corporate accounting. Some of […]
