“Oh. Marital infidelity. You are just another run-of-the-mill human being whose simple moralizing about the sanctity of marriage is only marred by the complexities of their own life. Well, just another politician with a conservative mind and a liberal penis.” – Jon Stewart “Did you hear about Mark Sanford, the governor of South Carolina? He […]
Instead of a “healthy” debate, the arguments against health care reform are becoming more and more bizarre. I’ve already talked about the fact that even though most people are in favor of single-payer health insurance, our representatives are so owned by the insurance companies (who are paying off politicians with the money they have been […]
Maybe it is just me, but doesn’t Colbert look more like Obama with his short hair?
“Here’s a big story, ladies and gentlemen. Yesterday, there was an earthquake in Alaska. I’m kind of afraid to say anything.” – David Letterman “Have you been following what’s going on in Iran? Oh, it’s crazy. They had the election. Now it looks like there was some monkey business going on. And now people are […]

NPR photographer Robb Hill wondered who would be interested enough to attend the meeting where 22 senators gathered to start working on overhauling healthcare in the US. So he took four photographs of the audience, and is inviting people to identify the people in the photos. So far, the public has identified eight lobbyists (plus […]
After Fox News labelled disgraced Governor Mark Sanford as a Democrat (when he is a Republican), Intershame pointed out that this happens far too often to be an honest mistake:
Personally, I think the sex life of anyone — including elected officials — is their own damn business, but you can’t help but shake your head at the behavior of people like Governor Mark Sanford and you may even enjoy watching him squirm. After all, he preached morality to others while sinning himself. He publicly […]
“You folks following the Iranian elections? Well, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is the winner. And lots of protests. And it got to be so crazy that Iran’s supreme leader actually spoke live on television last night. And it preempted Al Jazeera’s most popular show, their number one show over there, which is ‘How I Met Your Camel.’” […]

“The Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, said this election was not rigged, the results are final, and you can protest all you want, but if you keep doing it, we’re going to start cracking heads. Now if we could only get this guy to call Norm Coleman.” – Bill Maher “Today, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali […]
© Nick Anderson President Barack Obama is doing the right thing with his careful response to the chaos in Iran. Obama right to keep U.S. out of Iran’s political process Even conservative columnist George Will and former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan agree.
I’ve become convinced that how our Representatives in Congress vote on the issue of a public option for health insurance is as good a measure of corruption as we are likely to see. In other words, if your congress critter votes against the public option (or attempts to water it down), you can easily figure […]
Is becoming the party of white supremacists the best way for the Republican Party to attract new members? Pat Buchanan seems to think so, but the result was not just dripping with irony, it was positively drowning in it. Last Saturday, Buchanan hosted a conference — optimistically entitled “Building the New Majority” — on how […]
