© August J Pollak The problem with this argument is that almost everyone, including libertarians, thinks that there are some things that have to be done by the government. Defense, for example, or police. People who want no government at all are anarchists. So when a conservative says that government is the problem and it […]

Remember when Fox News and other conservative pundits were all over “Climategate”, claiming that scientists had fudged data? Well, a new study done by a scientist who was a climate change skeptic, and funded by none other than the Koch Brothers says that Climategate was a false tempest in a tea party pot and that […]

You know it had to happen eventually. Fox News is now blaming ACORN for the Wall Street protests. Well, except that ACORN doesn’t exist anymore. Conservatives made sure of that, even fabricating evidence against them. But some of the same people who used to work for ACORN are now protesting. Well, duh.

Sometimes I wonder if Matt Taibbi is the only political pundit not just with any brains, but with any common sense. First, go read his blog post “OWS’s Beef: Wall Street Isn’t Winning – It’s Cheating“. Go ahead. It’s short and should be required reading. I’ll wait for you here… OK, you’re back. How blind […]

© Tom Tomorrow I’m not sure why this is a comic — it sound just like things I’m actually hearing on the news.
Adbusters, the group that is largely responsible for the Occupy Wall Street protests, has come out with their own idea for a simple demand: On October 29, on the eve of the G20 Leaders Summit in France, let’s the people of the world rise up and demand that our G20 leaders immediately impose a 1% […]
[Written by Fred Wickham] Right wing commentators have been trashing the Wall Street Occupiers. “What is it they stand for?” they’re demanding. And, frankly, it is about time they took one simple stand. My suggestion is that the protestors demand the reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall act. That is the piece of legislation from 1933 which […]
© Dan Wasserman As Slate Magazine points out, voter fraud is statistically extremely rare. Heck, it’s hard enough to get legal registered voters to just go vote. So why are Republicans suddenly passing all kinds of laws that put roadblocks in front of voters to prevent voter fraud? One guess.

A very enjoyable conversation between Jon Stewart and Al Sharpton about the Wall Street protestors, national discourse, the media, Obama, Herman Cain, Clarence Thomas, and irony. In two parts:
