The moral? People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Republicans should stop taking Michelle Obama’s remarks out of context to smear her, and instead concentrate on real issues. UPDATE: The Jed Report has discovered that Fox News removed McCain’s words saying he didn’t love America from their transcript of the interview. Hmmm, I wonder how […]
How many times do we need to get fooled before we wise up? As bubble after bubble in market after market drives up prices, how many times will we just sit there and take it in the wallet as those who are making obscene profits tell us “it is just supply and demand”? The truth […]
Here’s a tricky problem. We all have noticed that at political events, there are people sitting behind the politician that form a backdrop for the event. Most of us know that the campaigns pick the people who sit there, which is a “delicate exercise in demographics and political correctness.” On Monday, two women were prevented […]
Well, actually, a cookie recipe. Again. Yes, I know that this seems like a trivial mistake, almost not worth mentioning. And indeed, the first time Cindy was caught stealing recipes I gave it a pass. I mean, it wasn’t like she was stealing drugs! But did she learn? No! Even though she blamed and fired […]
This brilliant video is aimed at politicians who claim to be “hard on drugs”:
After the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina would found to have been largely caused by faulty construction on the levees surrounding New Orleans, maybe the government would try to do a better job protecting the city in the future. You would think, but you would be wrong. A local TV station in Louisiana has found […]
From the website 23/6, in honor of Republican attacks on Michelle Obama If you don’t believe this story is true, read this. And if you don’t believe John McCain was involved, read this. UPDATE: Sorry, I’ve had to turn off comments on this post. Apparently the word “drugs” in the title was like honey to […]
Some of you may recall that a week ago McCain challenged Obama to a series of “town hall” meetings with him, the first one to occur in one week. Never mind that McCain does much better in town hall meetings than he does in regular debates (not to mention his abysmal performance giving speeches), and […]
On Tuesday, in his now infamous “green backdrop” speech, McCain basically called Obama a liar: You will hear from my opponent’s campaign in every speech, every interview, every press release that I’m running for President Bush’s third term. You will hear every policy of the President described as the Bush-McCain policy. Why does Senator Obama […]
In discussing McCain’s shabby treatment of his first wife, a question naturally comes up: should private misbehavior hurt someone’s chances of being elected to public office? And should this penalty be especially applied to hypocrites who publicly condemn what later turns out to be their own private behavior? James Poulos says yes: “someone who fails in their private life […]
On NBC’s “Today” show, Matt Lauer asked John McCain about the surge strategy in Iraq: “If it’s working Senator, do you now have a better estimate of when American forces can come home from Iraq?” McCain’s response: No, but that’s not too important. What’s important is the casualties in Iraq, Americans are in South Korea, […]
Couldn’t the lapdog media in the US have done this? It took an investigation by the BBC to find out that an estimated $23 BILLION has been lost, stolen, or “merely” not accounted for in Iraq. To date, no major US contractor has been indicted for these stunning abuses. Why can’t we hear about this […]
When will McCain learn that you can’t just deny that you said something, when anyone can just look it up on the innertubes?
One of the most wonderful things about the Internet is that any pinhead can be caught (on video often) being completely hypocritical. Take last night’s piece by Lou Dobbs where he called Obama a “flag pin flip-flopper” and then proudly proclaimed that he himself wears one. Of course, the Jed Report jumped on that, and […]
