© Lee Judge Why in the world was losing one senator such a terrible blow to the Democrats? Yes, they no longer have a “supermajority” in the Senate, and thus cannot automatically stop filibusters. But they still have a majority in the Senate, a majority in the House, not to mention the presidency. Isn’t that […]
The Taliban’s top military commander has been arrested in a secret joint US-Pakistani operation in Karachi, Pakistan. Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar was a close associate of Osama bin Laden, and is the highest-level Taliban figure to be arrested since the war in Afghanistan started, back in 2001. So, how long do we have to wait […]
Less than two weeks ago, Sarah Palin was the keynote speaker at the “national tea party conference”, a conference that seemed primarily designed to make money for its organizer. But that didn’t stop her from saying things like “America is ready for another revolution and you are a part of this.” She also praised the […]
Two interesting bits of news: First, a new poll shows that only 6% of Americans think the stimulus bill created any jobs. Second, two non-partisan, well-regarded economic research firms report that the economic stimulus bill passed by Congress has created between 1.6 and 1.8 million jobs and has definitely helped get the economy moving in […]
“The big blizzard hit the East Coast. Washington, D.C., probably hit hardest of all. Two storms, back-to-back. The bad news is Washington, D.C., is entirely shut down. The good news is Washington, D.C., is entirely shut down.” – David Letterman “Celebrity birthday. Happy birthday to Sarah Palin, who is 46 years old today. And you […]

The GOP National Committee is so fired up, they’re running ads against their own members:
“I’ll tell you, you woke up this morning, and New York, a tremendous sight. I mean, it was whiter than a Tea Party rally.” – David Letterman “The entire East Coast is covered with snow banks and snow drifts, or as Toyota drivers call them — ‘cushions.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Airports all over the East […]
© Lee Judge The NY Times has a funny article “Washington Shivers, Moscow Laughs” about Russian sympathies (or lack thereof) toward the big blizzard that has shut down DC and large parts of the east coast. Russia, mindful that it trails the United States in many measures, tends to leap at any chance to promote […]
© Tom Toles My question is, why is this strategy working? Can you really have a viable political party whose only strategy is to attack the other party and block everything they try to do?
“The East Coast is covered in snow right now. Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia got almost 35 inches over the weekend. And may get 20 more inches tomorrow. Schools and businesses were closed. They’re building snow-bamas all over the place.” – Jimmy Kimmel “They got a lot of snow in Washington, D.C. And the city […]
© Jeff Parker The owner of “Tea Party Nation, Inc.” and organizer of the Tea Party conference is quoted here as saying “I want to make a million from this movement.”
“Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints. They defeated my Indianapolis Colts. So all I can say is, ‘Don’t worry, Indianapolis, FEMA is on the way.’” – David Letterman “Did everybody watch the Super Bowl? Everybody’s happy for New Orleans. In fact, FEMA announced plans to congratulate them in about two weeks.” – Jimmy Fallon “Well, […]
I’ve long wondered how conservative tea-baggers can scream and yell about our government and socialism, while at the same time taking pretty much everything that Fox News tells them on faith, even when it is a blatant lie and goes against real conservative values. A recent survey says that 74% of Republican-leaning Americans say that […]
CBS News presents a stunning statistic. If you ask Americans if “homosexuals” should be allowed to serve in the military, then 59% say they either strongly or somewhat support it. But if you change the word “homosexual” to “gay men and lesbians”, then the number rises to 70%! The difference is even greater if you […]
