Romney’s First Ad…on Day One I’ll give myself a huge tax break as a reward and replace Obamacare with Romneycare

The spot begins with a voice-over asking, “What would a Romney Presidency be like?” as text reading “Day 1? flashes on the screen. Watch the video here. “President Romney immediately approves the Keystone pipeline, creating thousands of jobs that Obama blocked,” the voice-over says. “President Romney introduces tax cuts and reforms that reward job creators, [...]

“How to turn Record Surpluses into an Economic Crisis” by George W. Bush

This is like Tim Tebow writing a treatise on passing accuracy, like Fox News releasing a how-to guide on fairness and balance in television coverage, like Rush Limbaugh teaching a gender sensitivity class, like Newt Gingrich lecturing about the sanctity of marriage, like Emily Post publishing a collection of “Yo Mamma” jokes. For sheer chutzpah [...]

If they do nothing…the problem is solved….”Congress” in its purest form, everyone.

On Jan. 1, nearly $8 trillion in tax increases and across-the-board spending cuts are scheduled to take effect. That’s exactly what we need to fix a debt crisis BTW.  The Republicans are going to take the debt limit hostage…again.   While they shared the blame in the public’s eyes for the downgrade caused by the debt [...]

Instead of being open to the public as is tradition, the ceremony was [...]

Crazy Conservative Anti-Gay Rant Turns out to just be Crazy

A video of a woman testifying against the anti-discrimination ordinance at the Lincoln City Council this week went viral, but her family says she is diagnosed with schizophrenia and shouldn’t be taken seriously. Jane Svoboda, 52, made several bizarre and disjointed statements during her five minutes of testimony at Monday’s meeting. “A huge percent of [...]

Romney lies about history of marriage and/or his own family…take your pick

Above, Romney says that we should not discard 3,000 years of history of one-man-one-woman marriage. Ahem.

[...]

Scott Walker takes billionaire money, does billionaire bidding

The video clip shows Walker meeting with Beloit billionaire Diane Hendricks, who has since donated $510,000 to Walker’s campaign. Hendricks asked: “Any chance we’ll get to be a completely red state, and work on these unions, and become a right-to-work — what can we do to help you?” “Well, we’re going to start in a [...]

Conservative author Jonah Goldberg lies about Pulitzer noms…guess the title of his book where he does it

On the dust jacket of his new book, “The Tyranny of Clichés: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas,” best-selling conservative author and commentator Jonah Goldberg is described as having “twice been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.”In fact, as Goldberg acknowledged on Tuesday, he has never been a Pulitzer nominee, but is merely one [...]

“Out of Control” Shrinking Spending leads to Federal surplus in April

The surplus — the first of Barack Obama’s presidency — was the result of both increased tax collection and lower government spending.

Our Corporate Media

Way back in the day (pre-1996) the argument was that by de-regulating the media, we’d get more diversity, better coverage, and be a more informed citizenry.  It hasn’t played out like that, at all.
