© Matt Davies Less than two days after Romney complained that unemployment hadn’t dropped below 8% during Obama’s administration, the unemployment rate fell from 8.1% to 7.8%. So when Romney was saying that, unemployment was already below 8%. So of course, the Republicans respond by accusing the president of cooking the books, calling the unemployment […]
I’ll let Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert have the last words on the debate:
© Joel Pett The above comic came out just before the first debate, so you’ll forgive the cartoonist if he forgot the latest rule: “you can lie as much as you want, as long as you act like the alpha dog”. © Adam Zyglis
In the debate tonight, while I was happy to hear Mitt Romney actually own up to Romneycare and how it improved things in Massachusetts, in order to do it he had to lie. Romney claimed that he never proposed Romneycare as a model for national health care reform, but only for states. He’s lying. Secondly, […]
© Jen Sorensen It is true. After some early success in recruiting women into the field of computer science, the number of women receiving CS degrees has been going down dramatically since then — despite the fact that there is strong demand for computer workers regardless of sex. The study mentioned in the first panel […]
© Jim Morin This is the most praise they have given each other since the campaign started!
Interesting quiz. You answer questions about a few issues, and it shows you the presidential candidate with whom you most agree: http://www.isidewith.com/presidential-election-quiz No big surprise is that I most agree with Barack Obama, but Jill Stein (the Green candidate) was a close second. I agreed with Romney on almost nothing (although how they decided what […]
Jon Stewart is devastatingly brilliant:
© Ruben Bolling Cartoonist Ruben Bolling has been drawing Hollingsworth Hound for nine years, but since Romney’s 47% video was released people have been telling him that Mitt Romney had become his fictional character. Hollingsworth was meant to represent “a privileged plutocrat comically clueless about the struggles of ordinary Americans, let alone the poor.” Bolling […]
Some of us have been guessing that the reason Sheldon Adelson is giving so much money (around $100 million) to Romney’s campaign is to buy his way out of criminal charges that he might face under an Obama administration. Well, we don’t have to guess any more. In a new interview with Politico, Adelson candidly […]
© Dan Wasserman Maybe what we need are better referees for the “job creators”? For over a day now, the top story on many news sites has been outrage over bad calls made by substitute referees during an NFL game. It is ironic that this situation mirrors our upcoming election. UPDATE: Ezra Klein on “low […]
© Matt Bors In general, I try to ignore media whores (which I define as people who say things to get attention, regardless of whether or not what they say is true). But who can resist a comic that uses the phrase “fallopian fists of fury”? Yes, Limbaugh really did bring up an Italian study […]
Robert Reich has two interesting new articles in his blog that you should read. The first one is an analysis of why Romney is losing the election. The conservatives are already trying to spin this as Romney’s fault. He is a bad politician running a poor campaign, and most of all, he isn’t conservative enough. […]
