My hat’s off to the Daily Show. Pure genius. How can the American people believe this crap coming from the mainstream media?
© Matt Bors I just don’t see how they can prosecute Julian Assange unless they also prosecute Bush and Cheney for what they did to Valerie Plame.
Back in 2008, the CEO of Shell Oil, John Hofmeister, testified in Congressional hearings that when oil and gasoline prices are high that big oil companies do not need the subsidies they get from the government. He also noted that executives of major oil companies agree. These federal subsidies were originally designed to encourage exploration […]
Or, more accurately, how stupid does Fox News think you are if you watch them? Watch this short clip showing angry protestors while Bill O’Reilly talks about the outside agitators who are bussed in to the protests in Wisconsin. There’s just one problem. Last time I checked, there weren’t many palm trees in Wisconsin. In […]

[reprinted from Political Relief. Thanks Chris!] Libya Darling and Keep the Oil Flowing For a country that did something truly revolutionary 235 years ago and is rightfully proud of it, our reactions to the recent protests in the Arab world would leave all but the most cynical person scratching their heads. Libya is the latest […]

Back in November, we quoted Bruce Schneier who claimed that the new TSA full body scanners won’t catch anybody. This is significant, because if we are going to unconditionally surrender our right to privacy, expose ourselves to dangerous X-rays, and pretty much roll over, it would be nice if we were doing all that so […]

Paul Ryan (R-WI), the head budget writer for the Republicans in the House, has repeatedly attacked Obama for ignoring the recommendations of the bipartisan deficit commission (Ryan was one of the people whom Obama appointed to that commission). Here’s part of a recent interview: Ryan: President Obama, through an executive order, created his own commission […]

Shouldn’t any politician who votes for the Patriot Act be automatically kicked out of the Tea Party Caucus? Of the 52 official members of Michelle Bachmann’s Tea Party Caucus, 44 of them voted for the Patriot Act on Tuesday. Wow. What part of “small government” and “protect the constitution” do they not understand?

The Fox News headline on their website proclaims “Obama Botches Bible Verse at Prayer Breakfast“. They claim that Obama misquoted a familiar Bible verse, and even accompany it with a rather unflattering photo of the president. OMG! Is this proof that Obama isn’t really a Christian? Are conservatives right when they claim he is a […]

Including the deficits. Texas has long been touted by conservatives as a model for fiscal conservatism — if you cut taxes, cut regulations, and cut government services, that will stimulate the economy and the benefits will “trickle down” to everyone. And for the last year, it looked like Texas might escape the budget woes that […]

It only takes one show for Rush Limbaugh to show what a hypocritical jerk he is. At the start of the show, Rush makes jokes about reporters in Egypt who have been detained — and typically beaten — by the army: I mean, even two New York Times reporters were detained. Now, this is supposed […]

This has got to be one of the most juvenile things ever done by Fox News. They took Obama’s State of the Union address and specifically edited it and inserted their own soundtrack of — literally — crickets chirping after Obama makes two slightly humorous comments. Then they make fun of Obama because his jokes […]

My question is, does Megyn Kelly actually believe the lies she tells, or does she simply not know the difference between reality and fantasy? ROUND TWO: Bill O’Reilly goes to the defense of Megyn Kelly and shows that he has an equally weak grasp of reality:
Obama has a mixed result on his promises to make government more transparent. Over at PolitiFact, of the 35 promises that Obama made relating to government transparency, they rate only five completely kept, three more kept but with some compromises, and 15 in the works, while six of them are rated as broken, and six […]
© Nick Anderson Every complaint the Republicans have about the current Health Care Reform bill was even more true of the prescription drug benefit they rammed through Congress in 2003 (which was really a huge giveaway to the drug companies). I guess the real problem is that they can’t take credit for this one.
