For as long as I can remember, Republicans of various stripes have been telling me and the world that the sky was falling, and yet, so far it hasn’t… Oughtn’t they catch a clue by now that, well, they’ve been so wrong before, and so often, that to believe anything they say requires a suspension [...]
*Admittedly, David Petraeus is a General, but Captain sounded better… CH Today General David Petraeus had another statement, among the many he has made in his current 9/12 Media Blitz, that was about as enlightening as, say, coming out and declaring water to be wet, but the media nonetheless slavishly typed it up as though [...]
Republicans? It’s me, God, and I have a little message for you: Cut it out or you’re going to get a lightning bolt, (and I don’t mean that in a good way, Larry Craig, Ken Mehlman, et al…) Being omniscient and all, I did manage to catch some of your dreadful display of Pharisee-like false [...]
Back in 2000, before Republicans had ruined the economy, bankrupted the government, lost two wars, let a huge terror attack occur and an American city drown, they could afford to be, well, civilized.

A recent Wall Street Journal editorial darkly cited unspecified ‘reports’ that Park51 has ‘money coming from Saudi charities or Gulf princes that also fund Wahabi madrassas.’ As Jon Stewart observed, this brand of innuendo could also be applied to News Corp., [...]

The overbuilding, chastened banks, excess supply, frightened homeowners, and mind-boggling paper losses have never happened all at once, and certainly not all across the country, in both the [...]
Jonah Goldberg, author of “Liberal Fascism,” has some “helpful” advice to offer his favorite political punching bags, who all are admittedly much smarter and more qualified than he is, to do things the way he imagines people like that do things, since he clearly doesn’t know any better. A classic piece of duplicitous, lazy concern-trolling, [...]
To any objective observer, i.e. someone not addled by the American Media, it’s difficult to understand why Republicans are still so in love with 9/11, wallowing in it nine years on, like Miss Havisham in Great Expectations. After all, It wasn’t exactly a high point for them and their stupid ideas. They’d just “elected” their [...]

When I was growing up, we always laughed at the relentlessly upbeat statements that came from the old Soviet Union, where even disasters were turned into triumphs, and leaders, statues, and the names of places themselves switched magically as fashion and leadership required, which usually worked out better for the places renamed than the people [...]
