On April 1, Car and Driver magazine ran a joke story claiming Obama had ordered GM and Chrysler to stop participating in NASCAR. It was pretty funny, and I’d link to it except that they already took the story down. But apparently Ann Coulter got fooled, writing: If Obama can tell GM and Chrysler that […]
I guess he should know politics when he sees it, but we’re still laughing at a comment from Karl Rove. Last week, in a closed door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus, Obama said “Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother.” The comment was made to Democrat Peter DeFazio, who voted against the president’s stimulus […]
Stephen Colbert gives a brilliant response to Fox’s Glenn Beck, who went over the deep end recently, crying repeatedly while longing for the good old days immediately after 9/11: UPDATE: Armchair Generalist explains why this video is necessary viewing: It really is time to stop thinking it’s September 12, 2001, every day. Steven Colbert wears […]
Apparently while I was on vacation, a steady stream of former White House figures decided they needed to appear on TV in an attempt to rewrite the legacy of the Bush administration. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to have taken the time to get their stories straight. For example, Condoleezza Rice recently told Charlie Rose that […]
Chris Weigant has a beautiful April 1 column in the Huffington Post today in the form of a speech by President Obama. What makes it especially beautiful is the fact that every item in the speech is not only completely silly, but is based on a narrative that has actually been pushed by the media. […]
“Hey, you hear about this? Very strange incident at JFK Airport in New York City today. An AIG executive going through security had to empty out all his pockets. You know what fell out? Senator Chris Dodd.” – Jay Leno “Let’s not forget the AIG company. The AIG stands for ‘ain’t I greedy?’ No, they […]
Here is an amazing video of Congressman John Shimkus (R-Illinois) at a hearing on climate change (note that they don’t call it global warming anymore). Shimkus reads from the bible in order to justify his claim that global warming is false, because God promised to never ever destroy the earth ever again. He also claims […]
Texas Senator John Cornyn wins the overreacting award for threatening “World War III” if the Democrats try to seat Al Franken in the Senate before Norm Coleman can fully pursue his case through the federal courts. Even Cornyn admits that a federal challenge could take “years” to resolve. Meanwhile, Minnesota will be without one of […]
“You know, we own AIG, right? We own 80% of it. And because of all of the outrage over these bonuses, armed guards now have to be placed outside the AIG offices. You know what that means? Not only are we paying the AIG executive bonuses, we are now paying to protect the executives from […]
Since Rupert Murdoch (the founder of Fox News) purchased the Wall Street Journal in 2007, we can see just how the mainstream news works. Last month, the WSJ claimed that Obama was using a list of reporters to call on during his press conferences, and argued that President Bush would not have been able to […]
