Earlier today, I posted a story about Fox News Channel blatantly lying about its role in the “tea parties” that are being held around the US. Not willing to merely rest on their laurels, Fox News then proceeded to get the whole pirate standoff story wrong, taking it as an opportunity to lambast the Obama administration for […]
As they say, the shoemaker’s children go barefoot, but it is a bit ironic that employees of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) are picketing the union itself for unfair labor practices. SEIU recently laid off around 75 workers. The employees claim age and race discrimination, and that SEIU dismissed workers without proper notice and […]
Despite their claim to be “fair and balanced”, hardly anyone is surprised at the stupid antics pulled by the Fox News Channel anymore. Nevertheless, some people complained when FNC started actively promoting anti-Obama “tea party” protests across the country, even inviting their viewers to participate in “FNC Tax Day Tea Parties” featuring their top stars: […]
Glenn Greenwald has a stunning article about Obama’s complete about-face on the issue of habeas corpus and enemy combatants. Habeas corpus is one of our fundamental rights, which says that a government cannot simply arrest you and toss you in jail without at least telling you for what you have been arrested and giving you […]
© Steve Sack Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell now: The court’s decision in Minnesota leaves no other choice but to continue the process to ensure that every legal vote is counted. But back in 2000 during Bush v. Gore, McConnell urged Al Gore to be a “statesman” and “give it up”. “Enough is enough. Where […]
I guess he should know politics when he sees it, but we’re still laughing at a comment from Karl Rove. Last week, in a closed door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus, Obama said “Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother.” The comment was made to Democrat Peter DeFazio, who voted against the president’s stimulus […]
Here is an amazing video of Congressman John Shimkus (R-Illinois) at a hearing on climate change (note that they don’t call it global warming anymore). Shimkus reads from the bible in order to justify his claim that global warming is false, because God promised to never ever destroy the earth ever again. He also claims […]
Texas Senator John Cornyn wins the overreacting award for threatening “World War III” if the Democrats try to seat Al Franken in the Senate before Norm Coleman can fully pursue his case through the federal courts. Even Cornyn admits that a federal challenge could take “years” to resolve. Meanwhile, Minnesota will be without one of […]
Since Rupert Murdoch (the founder of Fox News) purchased the Wall Street Journal in 2007, we can see just how the mainstream news works. Last month, the WSJ claimed that Obama was using a list of reporters to call on during his press conferences, and argued that President Bush would not have been able to […]
As noticed by the blog Sadly, No, the conservative websites National Review Online and Town Hall both have published articles containing identical words (attacking Obama, naturally), although attributed to two different authors (Jonah Goldberg in the case of NRO, and Kathryn Jean Lopez in the case of Town Hall). It has been obvious for a […]
Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) has been getting himself into the news a bit lately. His latest oops was a statement he made a few days ago about public schools in Washington D.C. “If you send a kid to school in D.C., chances are that they will end up in a gang rather than graduating.” The context […]
Minority Leader John Boehner claims that “in a carefully calculated campaign, operatives and allies of the Obama administration are seeking to divert attention toward radio host Rush Limbaugh.” And Republican Senator and NRSC chairman John Cornyn called the statements against Limbaugh an “outrage” that “reeks of hypocrisy coming from a president who campaigned against these very […]
CNBC turns hypocrisy into a fine art, and Jon Stewart is on a roll: Wasn’t it only a few weeks ago that comedians were worried that with Bush gone, they would not have enough material? UPDATE: Jon Stewart appeared on Letterman Thursday night, and continued his criticisms of the cable financial news channels: The thing […]
It is hard to believe that the Minnesota Senate election between Al Franken and Norm Coleman was held in November and it is now four long months later in March, but Coleman refuses to give up. In fact, on Tuesday Coleman declared that the judges will never be able to figure out who won so they should toss […]
Jon Stewart sums up the CPAC convention, using conservatives’ own words. Hilarious.
