© John Breneman So, is there any way to reduce gridlock and excessive partisanship in our government? I hope so. Oh, and check out John Breneman’s blog “Humor Gazette“.

© Tom Tomorrow I think the problem is exactly what Tom Tomorrow points out in the first panel. The “invisible” hand of the free market should be invisible. Instead we see armies of lobbyists, tax break after tax break, an obscenely tilted playing field, investors throwing their excess money at bubble after bubble, rampant insider […]
Emmet Bondurant is one of the best business lawyers in the country, but now he’s suing to change the country. Bondurant is convinced that the filibuster is unconstitutional, and along with Common Cause, he wants the Supreme Court to abolish it. In fact, the filibuster was a mistake that has grown like a cancer. Proof […]
© Clay Bennett I find this comic extremely ironic. It compares deregulation to someone removing traffic signs. When you look at it, your reaction is probably “OMG, deregulation is bad!”. Anarchy and chaos would result! Injury, death, and mayhem in the streets! The irony is that an increasing number of cities in Europe are doing […]
© Lalo Alcaraz Mitt Romney is spending $1.3 million to run an ad in key swing states, explaining what he would do on “day one” as president: President Romney immediately approves the Keystone pipeline, creating thousands of jobs that Obama blocked. President Romney introduces tax cuts and reforms that reward job creators, not punish them. […]

When Obama came out in favor of same-sex marriage, Republicans accused him of using it as a wedge issue. But it seems that the GOP just can’t help themselves with their gay hating ways. The Republican-led House just attached a provision into the defense authorization bill banning military chapels from performing same-sex marriages. The bill […]
Two months ago, Arizona’s Secretary of State Ken Bennett sent a request to Hawaii to verify that Barack Obama was born there, so that Obama could be placed on the presidential ballot. This despite the fact that Hawaii has already stated over and over again that Obama was born there in 1961 and that they […]
Even after the great recession, JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon was considered the best and brightest of the bankers. He argued that new regulations were not needed and that his company shouldn’t be penalized because other bankers were stupid. So now that his company did something really stupid, will he change his tune? © Kevin […]

from Unicorn Booty Personally, I believe that Jesus wouldn’t care one way or another about same-sex marriage, and that some people are just using the Bible to support their own homophobia and sexism. Which is pretty darn unchristian-like.
© Tom Tomorrow Tom Tomorrow says that you “should imagine the Austerions speaking in full, booming voices, with the reverb cranked up high.” Oh, and it looks like Paul Krugman recognized himself in the 4th panel. What I don’t understand is why we listen to our own Austerions, when it should be a dead give-away […]
Last week, the largest bank in the US admitted that it had made a very stupid and risky investment and had lost an incredible $2 billion. What makes this ironic is that JP Morgan has been one of the strongest voices arguing against regulations on banks. Indeed, Morgan had weathered the 2008 financial meltdown relatively […]
I’m really pleased that Obama’s statement that he believes same-sex couples should be allowed to marry is engendering a frank discussion about this issue in America. But what is really interesting is that it is not entirely a conservative v. liberal discussion. Of course, you would expect conservatives like Andrew Sullivan be in favor of […]

© Mike Luckovich Sometimes I try to figure out from what Mitt Romney says what kinds of things he would do as president, but quickly realize that I have absolutely no idea, since Romney seems to be willing to say just about anything that is politically expedient. The best I can figure is that he […]
It is fascinating to watch how conservatives react to Obama’s announcement that he is in favor of marriage equality for same-sex couples, and opposed to the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). © Mike Thompson Within hours, house Republicans passed a measure that prohibits the Justice department from using taxpayer funds to actively oppose DOMA. Which […]
