“The rebel army in Libya is just like 1,000 guys in Toyota trucks. The world is asking the question; can 1000 anti-government guys in pick-up trucks with small arms, take over a country of millions? To which I say, ask the Teabaggers.” – Bill Maher “TLC will start airing new episodes of ‘Kate Plus 8’ […]

Palin-Bachmann Overdrive!

“Bachmann is the female Ann Coulter” — I love it. As the creator of this video, D.C. Douglas puts it: You might say that I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. … After all that America has been through recently — the recession, Wall Street, God’s natural disaster punishments — we truly need […]

“President Obama’s speech on Libya was scheduled early so it wouldn’t interrupt ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ That’s ridiculous. This is a major historical event that affects the lives of millions of people.

“Seventeen days after Newt Gingrich insisted President Obama should establish a no-fly zone over Libya, he’s complaining that Obama established a no-fly zone over Libya. It’s the same as Newt’s policy on adultery. He can’t make up his mind.” – Jay Leno “House Speaker John Boehner says President Obama should have clearly outlined his exact […]
