© Ben Sargent Perry continues to give high-level government jobs to his big campaign donors, despite the fact that he just announced he is running for president, and despite the fact that the New York Times just published a front page article about how Perry hands out tax breaks, contracts, and appointments to his strongest […]
How can anyone watch this and take Rick Perry even slightly seriously. The man is a walking joke. I mean, he isn’t even smart enough to change the subject or otherwise deflect the issue. Which would be fine if he actually answered the question, rather than just stubbornly claiming that abstinence-only sex education works, when […]
Presidential candidate Rick Perry is so against federal regulations that he is campaigning against regulations that don’t even exist! According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, at two different speeches in Iowa this last week, Perry claimed “If you’re a tractor driver, if you drive your tractor across a public road, you’re gonna […]
Jon Stewart points out the hypocrisy of the mainstream media. They even joke about the fact that they studiously ignore Ron Paul. What I don’t understand is how the media can not take Ron Paul seriously, when they seem to be able to take people like Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, and even Sarah Palin seriously. […]
A recent PolitiFact article reminded me of an old saying attributed to Mark Twain: “Figures never lie, but liars figure”. The article rates the truthfulness of a statement by Mitt Romney during the Republican presidential debate last week, where he said that under president JFK “government took up” 27% of the economy, while today it […]
More brilliance from Jon Stewart:
Is anyone at all surprised to find out that the Chairman, President, and CEO of the company that owns and operates Standard & Poor’s is a frequent and big money contributor to the Republican Party and to their candidates, causes, and PACs? This includes money to the National Republican Congressional Committee, the National Republican Senatorial […]
Today, Texas governor (and all but declared presidential candidate) Rick Perry is holding his big prayer festival in Houston. People for the American Way created a video mashing up Perry’s folksy invitation to the event, intercut with video of the radical evangelical christians that he invited: Perry’s friendly demeanor in the video is ironic compared […]
Who says you can’t have it both ways? After spending the last few months insisting that we drastically cut all social programs (like Medicare, Social Security, etc.), the Republicans have figured out that voters might not like that very much. So I guess it is no surprise that now that the debt ceiling deal is […]
Watch the whole thing. First how the media reported it, then what really happened:
Fox News plays the victim card regarding calling the Norwegian terrorist a Christian, when (not surprisingly) they have repeatedly done the same thing they are accusing others of doing. Confused? Jon Stewart explains it all: But playing the victim card by Fox News is not limited to the terrorist incident in Norway. Fox News has […]
Speaking of things that aren’t Obama’s fault, Texas governor Rick Perry (who is making noises about running for president) criticized President Obama for canceling the Space Shuttle Program (which will cost jobs at the Johnson Space Center in Houston). There’s just one problem — it was Bush who cancelled the Space Shuttle. In fact, Obama […]
Rupert Murdoch humbly throws his employees under the bus, but still remains defiant, clueless, and sleepy:
Fox News desperately tries to change the subject from the News Corp scandal.
Who else, Fox News. After admitting they were afraid to talk about the News Corp scandal, they finally do a segment on it on Fox and Friends, bringing in a PR hack who is somehow supposed to be an expert about this. But they make a few small changes to the story. I really suggest […]
