“New Yorkers are desperate. They’re trying to get Paterson to leave early, and I said to myself, ‘That sounds like a job for Jay Leno.’” – David Letterman “But I don’t know how serious this is. I won’t believe that there’s real trouble with the governor until I hear that he’s told his staff he’s […]
One of the big issues surrounding health care reform is whether or not it will provide funding for abortions. Even in this blog, I’ve had people claim that the Senate health care bill would “force everyone to tithe to abortion providers”. Many people are opposed to this bill only because they believe it funds abortions. […]

Dana Milbank has a scathing review of Karl “Bush’s Brain” Rove’s new book in the Washington Post. Apparently Rove misses being the master of doublespeak, and so is rewriting the history of the Bush administration. Here are some quotes from Rove’s book: “Did Bush lie us into war? Absolutely not.” “The president never authorized torture. […]
© Jim Morin In The American Spectator, Jeffrey Lord wrote: President Obama and his liberal allies will surely now concede that their push to spend trillions, a push that they intend to use as an excuse resulting in higher taxes, is responsible for sending this apparently crazed pilot plunging into this Austin IRS headquarters.
“Hello. Thank you, Jay. Thank you. I’m so happy to get to be here. This is a thrill of a lifetime really. And Alaska, being so different from Los Angeles. Here when people have a frozen look on their face, I find out it’s Botox.” – Sarah Palin (on Jay Leno’s show) “I’ve been really […]
A while ago, we gave you ten ironic reasons to support health care reform, but now we (finally) can give you an ironic reason (albeit just one) to not be too concerned about global warming (we know you were desperately looking for a reason to ignore it). A panel of 41 international experts has reviewed […]
Do you remember Representative Alan Grayson (D-FL) who stood up in Congress and said that the Republican health care plan was “Don’t get sick” and if you do get sick to “Die Quickly”. At the time, Republicans vowed to target Grayson and defeat him. So how’s that working out? Well, they certainly found people to […]
The South Dakota legislature tries to legislate reality, and fails big time. House Concurrent Resolution No. 1009 calls “for the balanced teaching of global warming in the public schools of South Dakota”, but then proceeds with a list the standard anti-climate-change talking points. For example, did you know that “carbon dioxide is not a pollutant […]
“Weren’t the Winter Olympics fantastic? The U.S. won a gold medal in downhill economy.” – David Letterman “The Canadian men’s hockey team beat the United States in overtime yesterday to win the gold medal. They were up all night celebrating. President Obama kept banging a broom on the border, but they just wouldn’t stop.” – […]
Rachel Maddow with some of the best coverage of health care reform I’ve seen: Note that this is a followup to this video.
Funny or Die creates a funny/serious ad about Obama’s proposed Consumer Financial Protection Agency. Starring Will Ferrell, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Jim Carrey, Dana Carvey, Fred Armisen, Maya Rudolph, and Darrell Hammond.
© Tom Toles Not only was Senator Jim Bunning (R-KY) singlehandedly blocking unemployment benefits for millions of Americans, he also put a hold on all of Obama’s nominees last week. The Senate ground to a halt, with the economy following closely. This is what some politicians will do in the name of partisan bickering. The […]
The Washington Post published a long op-ed piece by Senator Orrin Hatch, titled “Reconciliation on health care would be an assault to the democratic process”. We know the drill — he calls budget reconciliation an “arcane budget procedure” that Obama wants to use to “ram through” a bill that does those nasty things you’ve heard […]
