Are Disaster-Capitalists Advising Republicans to Say Debt Ceiling “No Big Deal”?
Special Edition On Tuesday, the news reported that gold had hit a record high, breaking $1,600 an ounce for the first time in history. This got me thinking: “There are people out there that stand to make a lot of money if this country fails to raise the Debt Ceiling.” As people grow nervous over the […]

Are they realy THAT stupid, or just evil?
I don’t like to talk about my personal life here, but my father, whom I love dearly despite his being a staunch Conservative Dittohead, said something yesterday that had me shaking my head with no acceptable response: “…President Obama wants to cut Medicare.” Of course, it’s the GOP that wants to cut Social Security & […]

Attention Republicans: Cutting Services Raises Expenses. That’s a tax hike!
Speaker of the House John Boehner has been leading the GOP’s new battle cry (whine?) that “you don’t raise taxes in a Recession.” Republicans are playing a dangerous game of chicken with the Debt Ceiling, threatening to vote against raising it next month, in hopes that Democrats will “blink first” and capitulate with Republicans… again. […]

Sen. Kyl defends oil subsidies on grounds it’s preferable to extortion.
On Fox “news” Sunday yesterday, their guest, Senator Jon Kyl, was asked if he supported the Democrats’ proposal to “end oil subsidies to companies earning more than a Billion dollars in profit”? Kyl opposed the idea and defended his position on the grounds that so long as we hand over the money, nobody gets hurt. You think […]

Can I stop shaking my head now? A return to GOP Bizarroland
After the week we’ve just had, if I shake my head anymore, I fear it might fall off. The Rick Perry Myth-a-palooza continued for another week as Sunday-show after Sunday-show continued to repeat the “37%” jobs-claim as “fact”, Congressman Weiner… who committed no crime other than being a Douchebag… was hounded out of office by […]

It’s the price of gas, Stupid! – plus, Where is the Republican job legislation?
On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that unemployment was “up” for the month of May, that a paltry 54,000 jobs were created, and unemployment rose to 9.1%. Republicans raced to the microphones to condemn President Obama’s economic policies as an abject failure. Mitt Romney said President Obama inherited a Recession (a surprising admission) “and […]

Republican Deficit Hypocrisy
Few things in this world demonstrate the stark difference between Democrats and clueless, fiscally-insane Republicans than the issue of The National Debt. Of course, if you live in Republican BizzaroWorld, it’s the Democrats that are the fiscally irresponsible ones while it’s Republicans fighting the good fight to return us to fiscal sanity. Republicans are busy […]

Obama says “Get serious” about oil with energy plan that’s anything but.
On Wednesday, President Obama delivered his much anticipated Energy Policy speech, telling listeners that it was time to ‘get serious’ about our dependence on foreign oil. So, just what is the Obama Administration’s idea of “getting serious”? Reducing our current “11 million barrels a day” of oil imports “by one-third” by 2025. I don’t know about […]

Special Edition: A Tale of Two Fake Interviews: Walker vs. Schiller
Last month, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker got “punked” by a Buffalo, NY radio morning-show host pretending to be billionaire Conservative activist “David Koch”. And yesterday, Conservative slam-journalist and convicted felon James O’Keefe posted a hidden-camera video interview with National Public Radio’s Senior VP Ron Schiller and Senior Director of Giving Betsy Liley. The video, shot last […]

Republicans in charge, unemployments falls. Were they right?
Everyone has been obsessed this past week watching the slow-moving train wreck that is Charlie Sheen. I bring this up for one reason and one reason only. If you’ve ever watched his show, you might have noticed these white screens of text that appear just for a split second immediately following the credits. If you […]

Quick vid: Teabagger morons bussed in to counter protest in Wisconsin
Last Sunday, ABC World News Tonight covered the Union Protests in Wisconsin, and followed it up with… what I’m certain they believed was… a “balanced” comparison of two people on either side of the protest. The first, a teabagger being bussed in from 110 miles away (by whom, ABC never says), the second, a teacher who […]

Cause and Effect: Republicans have yet to figure it out
Sir Isaac Newton’s third law of motion is that “for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”. Sir Isaac may have been talking about the physics of motion, but his law has proved 100% accurate in the world of politics as well. Problem is, Republicans haven’t quite figured out this age old law […]
