I have absolutely no idea why, but an annual luncheon scheduled for next week in Houston that celebrates the safety record of offshore oil drilling has been postponed. At last year’s luncheon, BP, the operator of the deep-water oil rig that exploded and sank in the gulf last week, causing one of the largest oil […]
“Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed the nation’s toughest anti-immigration bill into law. It’s unbelievable. It makes it a crime as a state law to be in the country illegally. It lets police question anyone about their status. You know what this means? Rich people in Arizona may have to start raising their own children now.” […]

The funny bit is that AriZona Iced Tea has absolutely no connections with the state of Arizona, being located in Long Island, […]

Arizona sure took things into their own hands to solve the illegal immigration problem! They definitely showed the rest of the nation that you don’t need the federal government to solve problems for you, didn’t they! Well, except that the Arizona agency that is responsible for implementing the new law has asked federal authorities for […]
© Lalo Alcaraz It is amazing how much misinformation is being thrown around concerning immigration reform, especially the new law in Arizona that makes it illegal to not carry proof of citizenship. First of all, I don’t know about you, but I don’t walk around with my passport, birth certificate, or other proof of citizenship, […]
You can be forgiven if you don’t know what to think about the latest crazy meme running around the innertubes. Apparently, a recent episode of South Park was censored before it aired by Comedy Central, after they received a veiled threat because the episode contained images of the prophet Mohammed. OMG, censorship, that’s bad, right? […]
I’m not sure why Bill Maher was focusing solely on the space program for the first 90 seconds, but the rest of his rant is great: I love these quotes: The problem with the tea party movement … is that they want money for nothing and chicks for free. They want a deregulated free market […]
The Bush-appointed head of the agency that is responsible for protecting government whistle-blowers has been charged with retaliating against his own employees, closing hundreds of whistle-blower cases without any investigation, withholding vital information from Congress, and of destroying evidence to cover up his actions. Is this any surprise, considering that the Bush administration was willing […]

© Drew Sheneman Thirty-three employees of the SEC have been punished for watching pornography online, including during the time when the economy was crashing. Of course, the Republicans were quick to use this to try to block financial reform, saying “This stunning report should make everyone question the wisdom of moving forward with plans to […]
The Associated Press and CNBC jointly released a new poll about American attitudes toward marijuana under the headline “Legalization: More Americans Say ‘No’”. Now, reading this, you might think that the majority of Americans are against legalizing marijuana, but this is a textbook example of how you can skew survey results by cunning choice of […]

Republicans often claim that government can’t do anything right, that governments always waste money. Maybe they are just projecting. An internal probe of the Republican National Committee (RNC) has found that the organization is suffering from questionable financial management. Signatures are being forged onto expense reimbursement paperwork, clothing, wine, and entertainment expenses are being listed […]

A long time ago I lived in Texas, and one of the (few) high points of my stay there was reading Jim Hightower. So I was pleasantly surprised to see him still fighting the good fight in an article about the airlines. Apparently, a number of airline CEOs are claiming that the problem with the […]
