GOP: 0, Hypocrisy: 4

Minority Leader John Boehner claims that “in a carefully calculated campaign, operatives and allies of the Obama administration are seeking to divert attention toward radio host Rush Limbaugh.” And Republican Senator and NRSC chairman John Cornyn called the statements against Limbaugh an “outrage” that “reeks of hypocrisy coming from a president who campaigned against these very […]

Who is Burson-Marsteller and why are they spending my money?

One of my pet peeves is that when your typical corporation has an epic failure, they often just treat it as a image problem, and hire a PR firm rather than actually try to fix the problem itself. The latest example is AIG, whose record epic failure (they just posted the biggest loss in all […]

Late Night Political Humor

“I want to thank you for coming out. It’s nice to be inside. It’s brutal out there. The Dow is 30 below zero. The economy is not looking good. Everybody’s cutting back. I don’t know if you heard this, but today, the Jonas Brothers fired Nick.” -Jimmy Fallon “Nice to see you all here. You’re […]

It is hard to believe that the Minnesota Senate election between Al Franken and Norm Coleman was held in November and it is now four long months later in March, but Coleman refuses to give up.

Late Night Political Humor

“Welcome to the first episode of ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.’ I have been getting so much encouragement. In fact, just before I went on, Rush Limbaugh called me up and said he wants me to fail.” -Jimmy Fallon “Well, let’s see what’s going on in the world. It was this week in 1854 that […]

I’m Sorry, Rush

Following the recent rash of apologies to Rush, the DCCC has conveniently created a website that helps you create your own apology to Limbaugh. Join the ranks of prominent Republicans who offended the almighty rush and lived to regret it. It is very interesting how this whole Rush thing is working out. As a commentor […]

Conservatives, in their own words

Jon Stewart sums up the CPAC convention, using conservatives’ own words. Hilarious.

Corporations don’t have Fingerprints

On the road to ruin the US is traveling, one of the more significant milestones has to be the legal decision that corporations have the same legal protections as real people. As Cecil Adams points out, the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment has been used more often to protect corporations than the former […]

Why Rush Limbaugh is a Dick

John Hummel’s blog gives an excellent argument as to why Rush Limbaugh is being a dick when he says he wants Obama to fail.  I’ll paraphrase his argument by giving a slightly different (and shorter) example: Let’s say you’re someone who became addicted to smoking before the health problems were known, who develops lung cancer.
