• Hey, Maybe It Was the Democrats’ Fault

  We love playing the blame game and pointing fingers. Like much of U.S. America, nothing is our fault and we take no responsibility for our actions.
  Apparently the Democrats are just like us too.
  Here’s a great video of Congressional hearings back in 2004 where Democrats are defending the policies of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The [...]

• What is This, North Korea?

  Ok, this is kind of creepy. A bunch of kids who were obviously put up to this by their parents singing a Barack Obama song that looks like something you’d be forced to do in schools every morning in some communist nation in dedication to your magnificent leader.
  Every time we’re finally sold on Obama, we [...]

  Sure we’re on the brink of The Great Depression II, for the most part the rest of the world hates us, Congress is comprised of a bunch of bafoons who won’t vote for a bailout package because their feelings were hurt, and we’re spending $10B a month on a war that we should’ve never started [...]

• Barack Obama Takes Off His Jacket

  Everyone is talking about the speech Barack Obama gave this weekend in Fredericksburg, VA.
  Why is everyone talking about it? As typical, many in the media are ejaculating over the image of Bam in the rain giving his typcially excellent stump speech. What an image. As Bam tells the crowd at about 8 minutes in:
  “I’m going to [...]

• Watch Burning Down the House Before They Take It Down Again

  Burning Down the House

  The below vid, called Burning Down the House, does about as good a job as we’ve seen explaining why we’re in the economic crisis that we’re in.
  It’s highly partisan, but it tells the story well.
  Warner Bros. keeps having the video removed for “copyright issues,” but it’s had over a million views in previous editions, so all [...]

• Wow House Republicans Are Very Sensitive

  Let’s see. The nation is facing the worst financial crisis we’ve seen since The Great Depression. Everyone agrees action must be taken, even if said action is not something you really want to do. Your President, your Presidential nominee, and most of your leadership have said (paraphrasing), “You know, this pretty much sucks but it’s [...]

• So It Was Pelosi’s Fault (VIDEO: Nancy Pelosi’s Bailout Speech)

  So in a strikingly bi-partisan atmosphere in passing the bailout bill and saving our economy, looks like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi single-handidly sunk it with this…well…highly partisan speech.
  House Minority Leader John Boehner blamed it on the Speaker: “We put everything we had into getting the votes to get there today, but the Speaker had to [...]

  Drink up. We’re all going to need it.
  So the economic bailout package was 86′d in Congress by a 228 to 205 vote and the Dow fell a record bazillion points.
  While we’re no math majors, those numbers don’t add up very well for the U.S. American economy in the near future.
  Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said that [...]

  It’s been discussed ad naseum at this point that John McCain is a big-time gambler (craps) and Barack Obama a pragmatist poker player.
  McCain’s proclivity for gambling is evident in his political moves too (see: [...]

• Tina Fey as Sarah Palin (Again) On Saturday Night Live

  Gotta admit, we didn’t understand why people were falling all over themselves for the first Tina Fey/Sarah Palin SNL skit. It was OK but nothing great and definitely not deserving of the hype.
  However, last night’s Tina Fey/ Sarah Palin / Katie Couric parody interview was fantastic. Fey looked much more comfortable in the role and [...]
