Last week, the christian American Family Association came out gunning against Gap, Inc., announcing a “two-month boycott over the company’s failure to use the word ‘Christmas’ in its advertising to Christmas shoppers”. On its website, AFA says that Gap “does not use the word ‘Christmas’ to avoid offending those who don’t embrace its meaning. Christmas […]
This was emailed to me. I have no idea if it is legit, and I’m not sure I agree with the sentiment, but it is too cute to not publish. Hi, I am a sophomore at Tech Valley High. For one of our Social Studies and English projects a group of four students had to […]
“President Obama winding up his Asian tour this week. There’s a switch. Something American in China. You never see that.” – Jay Leno “Earlier today, President Obama took a tour of the Great Wall of China. He said it was, quote, ‘magical’ as opposed to two years ago, when former President Bush stood at the […]
Yesterday, I reported on the irony of McCain’s former health care advisor, who is losing his health insurance and has a preexisting condition. But the irony keeps coming. Earlier this month, wing-nut Michele Bachmann sponsored a protest against health care reform at the Capitol, with angry protesters holding signs like the one to the right, […]
Doug Holtz-Eakin, the former top health-care-reform advisor to John McCain during the presidential election is in an ironic position. After the election his job vanished, of course, and now his COBRA health coverage — for which he pays around $1000 a month — is about to expire. And an accident in 1990 left him with […]
“You know who was on Oprah the other day was Sarah Palin, former governor of Alaska. The high point was when the Governor shot a cigarette out of Oprah’s mouth.” – David Letterman “She said she was super excited to meet Oprah and also to hug a black person for the very first time.” – […]
In Forbes Magazine, Bruce Bartlett (an advisor to Ronald Reagan and a treasury official under Bush I) points out the staggering hypocrisy of any politician who is criticizing the Democratic health care reform bill as socialist or deficit-busting, but who voted for the Republican Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit in 2003 (which the US Comptroller called […]
“Sarah Palin is everywhere right now. Have you noticed that? This week, Sarah Palin is going to appear on ‘Oprah,’ ‘Good Morning America,’ ‘ABC World News,’ ‘Nightline,’ ‘Sean Hannity,’ and ’20/20.’ During all her appearances, Palin will talk about how the media won’t leave her alone.” – Conan O’Brien “Sarah Palin’s got that book out, […]
National Geographic asked senators to draw their state and label a few important points. Most Senators did OK, but Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss drew something that looks much more like Mississippi (which, in case you are likewise geographically challenged, is two states over from Georgia). Georgia’s other senator, Johnny Isakson, did only slightly better. Sigh.
According to a new poll from Public Policy Polling, a majority (52%) of Republicans believe that Obama did not actually win the 2008 election, because ACORN stole the election for him. Only 27% of Republicans believe that Obama won the election legitimately. This, despite the fact that Obama won the election by 9.5 million votes. […]
“According to excerpts from Sarah Palin’s memoir, ‘Going Rogue,’ the former vice presidential nominee says her infamous Katie Couric interview went so poorly because Couric was badgering, had a partisan agenda, and asked questions.” – Seth Meyers “Sarah Palin is gonna be on Oprah Winfrey’s show on Monday. Well, not to be outdone, John McCain […]
