Foreign policy “expert” McCain put his foot in it again, claiming that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is the leader of Iran, and that Obama would negotiate with him. Wrong on both counts. First, Obama has never said he wants to have talks with Ahmadinejad, and second, Ahmadinejad is not the primary leader of Iran. When confronted with this information […]
While investigating their shocking story about the Pentagon planting military analysts in major news outlets, the NY Times came up with this interesting quote by Don Rumsfeld from December 2006: [Iraqi militias] know the center of gravity of the thing is here in the United States. It isn’t out there. And they’re designing their attacks […]
The Real McCain Why bother comparing McCain to Bush, when McCain’s own words are even crazier? Some people call him McSame, but they may have to change that to McWorse.
Three months ago, a 36-year-old man showed up in Gerald, Missouri claiming to be a federal DEA officer. He drove a car with a siren bar and a police radio and wore a black t-shirt with “Police” emblazoned across the chest. He carried a gun and had a federal ID card and an official-looking badge. […]
Here is Jon Stewart’s take on the rebranding of the Republican party: I notice that he missed the fact that Effexor XR comes in a Republican red pill with a large “W” on it, which we reported on four days ago. You heard it here first, folks!
Republican Bob Schaffer is running for the Senate in Colorado. In order to impress voters about his love for Colorado (he’s originally from Ohio), he came out with a TV ad today that touts the fact that he proposed to his wife Maureen at the summit of Pikes Peak. There’s only one problem: in the […]
(sometimes these stories just write themselves) In one of the more ironic episodes of the Bush Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation last week raided the office and home of the senior official in charge of protecting Federal whistleblowers on suspicion of whistleblower retaliation within his own agency – while he was investigating possible criminal […]
In response to claims that she has no chance of winning the nomination, Clinton has asserted that pledged delegates are allowed to switch sides and vote for her at the convention. Unlike Superdelegates, who are free to support either candidate, pledged delegates are supposedly promised to a specific candidate. Well, we now know that Clinton […]
Saddled with a very unpopular president, and losing elections even in heavily Republican districts, the Republicans are trying to grab a piece of the “change” mandate. So on Wednesday, Congressional Republicans will start rolling out their new policy agenda, complete with a new slogan (drum roll please…) “The Change You Deserve“. Unfortunately, the Republicans seem […]
Last Friday (days after the pundits had already declared the race over) 11-year-old Dalton Hatfield presented a check for $440 to former President Bill Clinton. Hatfield feels so strongly that Hillary Clinton should be the next president that he sold his bicycle, some video games, and other items to raise money. “I was thinking one […]
