“In Washington, it looks like the Senate is almost done with the healthcare bill. Otherwise known as the Joe Lieberman Insurance Company Preservation Act.” – Jay Leno “President Obama had some tough words for congressmen who aren’t backing his healthcare bill. He told Rep. Peter DeFazio, ‘Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother.’ Then he […]

Obama is in a tough spot. His biggest promise was to “change the tone of politics in Washington”, by seeking a return to respectful political dialog, careful deliberation rather than pandering to voters, and actual governance rather than sound bites. But in keeping his promise, he is being denounced as not being tough enough. Americans […]

For several reasons, I found this post on National Review to be completely ironic and hilarious: Congratulations to Captain Picard! [Mike Potemra] Palace sources say Patrick Stewart is about to be knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. It turns out he is an avid supporter of Britain’s Labour party; his support must be especially welcome in […]

Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) said on Sunday: What the American people ought to pray is that somebody can’t make the vote tonight. That’s what they ought to pray. Coburn was hoping that a Democrat would not show up for the vote on health care reform and the vote would fail. But he forgot to specify […]

“And listen to this. After one single senator, just one senator — Joe Lieberman of Connecticut — was able to block passage of the Medicare buy-in provision of that health care bill, some people are calling for the Senate to begin experimenting with a whole new way of doing business. Yeah, it’s called majority rules. […]

© Matt Bors Is it really true that if you don’t play to your “base” (the most extreme elements of your supporters) that you can’t make anyone happy? Is there no place for moderates in American politics?

“And this is good. Democratic leaders are hoping to pass healthcare reform before Christmas. And really, what better Christmas present could Obama give the country than the gift of not having to talk about healthcare anymore?” – Jimmy Fallon “President Obama says that Congress is very close to getting a new health care plan, but […]

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) takes Republicans to task for lying to the American people: When it turns out there are no death panels, when there is no bureaucrat between you and your doctor, when the ways your health care changes seem like a good deal to you, and a pretty smart idea, when the American […]

“Santa Claus, as you know, has a plan to fly around the world to deliver toys to all the good little boys and girls. Unfortunately, it’s being blocked right now by Joe Lieberman.” – Jimmy Kimmel “Clearly, Lieberman has gone from having Joe-mentum to having Joe-mentia.” – Stephen Colbert “The other night they had that […]

© Matt Bors It is ironic that if terrorists really wanted to kill Americans and damage our country, they could hardly come up with a better weapon than our current health care system.

© Bruce Beattie What I find ironic about this is that many of the actual arguments that are being tossed back and forth about global warming are based on clichés. For example, every time there is a cold snap, some idiot argues that it proves that the climate isn’t warming.
