“According to the New York Times, President Barack Obama plans to nominate Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg, a former New York City health commissioner to be the new head of the Food and Drug Administration. See, I think this is a chance for President Obama to step across party lines. You know who he should nominate […]
Jon Swift has an excellent column that explains something that has baffled liberals for a long time — why is it that when a liberal does something that is attacked as bad, a conservative can do exactly the same thing, but it is OK? The example du jour is Bristol Palin, who is now officially […]
“Hey, before we get started tonight, I want to remind any potential cabinet members you have until April 15th to not pay your taxes, okay?” – Jay Leno “Well, earlier this week, President Obama took on the teachers union by saying he wants merit pay for teachers and to fire the ones who do not […]
Why is all the incisive political news coming from comedians these days?
As noticed by the blog Sadly, No, the conservative websites National Review Online and Town Hall both have published articles containing identical words (attacking Obama, naturally), although attributed to two different authors (Jonah Goldberg in the case of NRO, and Kathryn Jean Lopez in the case of Town Hall). It has been obvious for a […]
“What I find so amusing about all of this is that Obama’s been in office 45 days roughly, and the public is blaming this all on him. It’s the Obama Recession, which is kind of true, because if McCain had won, Sarah Palin would still be buying clothes.” – Bill Maher “No wonder Obama has […]

This provision, which was pushed for by by the investment banking industry, made many […]
“But do you know anything about the Dow Jones, ladies and gentlemen? The Dow Jones average went down to 6,000. Do you know what that means? Neither do I, but it’s the first time in 12 years that the Dow has been the same as Rush Limbaugh’s cholesterol.” -David Letterman “According to a new study, […]
Jon Stewart points out the stupidity of pundits who criticize Obama when the Dow Jones Industrial Average drops:
Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) has been getting himself into the news a bit lately. His latest oops was a statement he made a few days ago about public schools in Washington D.C. “If you send a kid to school in D.C., chances are that they will end up in a gang rather than graduating.” The context […]
