“Hey, last night I watched Oprah’s White House Christmas special. President Obama told Oprah he deserves a ‘solid B-plus’ for his first year in office. That’s a big improvement from our last president, who for the last eight years received a ‘WTF.’” – Jimmy Fallon “During an interview last night, Oprah Winfrey asked President Obama […]
© Lalo Alcaraz I find it very interesting how the whole health care reform thing has played out in Congress. For a long time there were so many different versions of the bill, and they kept changing, that the media (progressive and conservative) became focused on provisions that had convenient sound bites, like “public option” […]
“Yesterday, President Barack Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize from the Norwegians. This comes almost two weeks after Tiger Woods was crowned by a swede.” – Jay Leno “The president got the Peace Prize yesterday. That was a big event yesterday in Norway. Yeah, yesterday in Norway, President Obama gave a speech accepting his Nobel […]
The end of the “naughties” is nigh, so I expect we will be inundated by articles about the last decade. Luckily, this one is pretty funny (in an ironic sort of way of course). Fortune magazine has an article listing the ten stupidest business moments of the decade. I’ll list some of them here, but […]
MoveOn has already raised $1 million using this ad: UPDATE: This may explain why Lieberman has gone to the dark side:
A few months ago I reported on “banana evangelists” Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort and their project to distribute a new version of Darwin’s “The Origin of Species”, including an added 50-page creationist-minded introduction that, in their own words, “reveals the dangerous fruit of evolution, Hitler’s undeniable connections to the theory, Darwin’s racism, and his […]
From Lee Camp, who says in his Twitter feed: When the whole health care debate is said & done we’ll be lucky if they hand out band-aids. (& then Fox News’ll call em Socialized bandaids)
Think scientists who warn us about climate change are just playing chicken little? Do you believe that the ClimateGate hacked emails prove that global warming is a hoax? Political Relief has a hilarious debate set in 1941 concerning the risk from Germany and Japan. The best lines come from the “Global War Denier”: What’s your […]
Although Fox News estimated the crowd at over 1 million. It was the coolest protest ever.
It may surprise you that Sarah Palin was once a believer in global warming. After all, in an editorial in the Washington Post last week, she called for Obama to boycott the Copenhagen conference because of ClimateGate, and claimed that global warming is “natural” rather than caused by human activities. But when she was governor […]
Colbert on health care reform and the Lieberman flip-flop:
Michelle Bachmann spoke yesterday at a rally against health care reform, and attempted to whip the attendees into a frenzy with a fancy literary reference, telling the gathered teabaggers “It’s the charge of the light brigade!” Watch it yourself: Good thing she doesn’t know that the light brigade was massacred, in that famous poem by […]
Yesterday, Sarah Palin was scheduled to give do a book signing at a Costco store in Salt Lake City. So in preparation, the store … removed all the tomatoes from their shelves. It turns out that at the Mall of America a week ago, a man was arrested for attempting to pelt Palin with a […]
People who use microblogging sites like Twitter are used to URL-shortening services like Bit.ly, Tr.im, and Tinyurl.com. But apparently those sites are not “conservative” enough, so the Republican party launched their own URL-shortening service on Monday called GOP.am, but with an annoying twist. When someone clicks on a GOP.am shortened URL, it displays the original […]
