The Hypocrisy of Cain Playing The Race Card
Quick, somebody ask Bill Clinton, John Edwards, Anthony Weiner and Arnold Schwarzenegger if the Media’s obsession with political sex scandals are based on race. A third fourth fifth woman has now stepped forward to accuse Cain of sexual misconduct back when he ran the “National Restaurant Association” in the 1990’s (fun-fact: the case against Cain […]

Halloween Frights: A few of the scariest images I’ve seen this year.
The year isn’t yet over, but we’ve already seen a lot of scary stuff this past year. Here are some of the most frightening images that stand out in my mind: $6 dollar gasoline in 2008: Teanuts don’t need no stinkin’ Halloween to play dress-up & make complete fools of themselves: Sometimes, […]

A Brief History Lesson: The Great Stock Market Crash of 1929, 82 years ago today.
A brief history lesson: It was 82 years ago today that a real estate bubble allowed unregulated banks to engage in WILD speculation on Wall Street. Many people don’t know that the economy had actually been turning bad for nearly a year prior to the great Stock Market Crash of 1929. The Market had its […]

Sour Grapes Make for Bitter Whine.
After news broke that Kadafi/Kadaffi/Qadafi/Qaddaffi/Gaddafi/whatever had been captured and killed by Libyan rebels Friday afternoon, if was only natural for everyone to wonder just how the GOP Presidential Candidates would spin yet another foreign policy coup for President Obama. These were, after all, some of his harshest critics. Michele Bachmann said that getting us involved in […]

Was Perry’s “jobs plan” really only his “energy policy”? No one seems to know. And with good reason.
On Friday, the Perry campaign released a copy of the candidate’s “Jobs Plan”… or did he? No one seems to be able to agree on that one simple point. The Perry website (no link. You know where) still refers to it as a “plan to create 1.2 million jobs”. Fox News Sunday yesterday referred to it as his […]

EARLY EDITION: Perry’s “Jobs” Plan by the numbers. I hope you like oil.
EARLY EDITION Rick Perry finally released his “Energizing American Jobs and Security” plan Friday (click here to download from me w/o having to give the Perry campaign your email address). 40 pages long (plus a cover page), Perry’s “jobs” plan is focused ENTIRELY on “energy” production. Ditto when it comes to “security”. In fact, Perry’s plan is SO singularly […]

A Few Protest Sign Ideas for the #OWS Crowd
The Occupy Wall Street protests have grown considerably over the past three weeks when they first began. They were ignored for a long time until NYC police officers went on a rampage, hauling away protesters and in one dramatic unprovoked incident caught on video, indiscriminately doused protestors with pepper spray. The Media keeps asking, “Why […]

The Sunday “Unintentionally” Funnies
As my regular readers know by now, I spend every Sunday morning watching three of the four network news Sunday political talkshows: “Fox ‘news’ Sunday”, “Meet the Press”, and ABC’s “ThisWeek”. ABC ends their show with a fun segment they call “Sunday funnies”, but this week, the entire show was filled with unintentionally funny moments I just HAD to compile […]

The Republic of Inequalstan invades Planet Mahers
During a recent campaign stop, Mitt Romney was asked about President Obama’s “Buffett Plan”, calling for “a minimum tax on the rich”. Romney’s response was to criticize the plan as “Class warfare” (natch), adding, “I want everyone to be rich!” Bill Maher made the observation on his show, “Real Time”, last week, “if everyone were a millionaire, […]

Ten Ways President Obama Can Revive the Economy and Create Jobs TODAY Without Spending ONE DIME
Don’t forget to vote for your favorites below! One month ago, I asked for your ideas to jumpstart the economy at little to no cost. Everyone (even President Obama now) recognizes the fact that Republicans are more interested in spending the next 14 months making sure President Obama loses HIS job than helping unemployed Americans find one […]

The TRUE Legacy of 9/11 is the failure of Conservatism.
I must have mulled over a dozen different ways to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of 9/11 here on Mugsy’s Rap Sheet. Back on the first anniversary, I created a “Tribute video” that was mostly news clips from that day showing both towers being hit and smoking wreckage at the Pentagon & Shanksville. But I decided we’ve all […]

ATTENTION WHITE HOUSE: Regulations CREATE jobs. Stop believing the RW lie.
MYTH BUSTING This week, the Obama Administration angered a LOT of Progressive Democrats by announcing that they would delay pending new EPA clean-air regulations until 2013 in the name of “jobs”. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) even encouraged environmentalists to sue the White House over it. Conservatives hailed this as a victory for business, declaring that “finally, President Obama […]
