President Obama often takes full advantage of the bully pulpit to excoriate political opponents or to register his displeasure with decisions that didn't go his way. The naked attempt to pressure the Supreme Court in his remarks during the recent joint press conference continues the pattern. The President's remarks were at times dishonest. More surprising is that the Presidents speech shows just how shallow his knowledge of the Constitution and human nature really is.  Dishonest Statement:"Ultimately, I'm confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of...

It’s not your imagination. Our Public Enemies list is growing. Most recent addition: the Supremes. Not that this is the first time Big Guy’s had to treat them as hostile witnesses. As you recall, he had to scold them at the SOTU address in 2010 after they acted stupidly and threw out portions of the campaign financing law making it harder for us to WTF: Although, if you’re concerned with foreign donations, I understand all you have to do is follow the dots. All the dots. Either that or don’t disable the Address Verification System when you accept credit card...

Please enjoy.

I do not think I have laughed this hard in a long time! Take a Look at these Album Covers of the past

Prophets of Doom has been around probably since the beginning of man’s existence on earth. Whether one believe man was created by God from the dust of the earth, or he evolved from a sea creature, a monkey, or matter from a collision of the planets commonly known as the big bang. Whatever your preference for the origin of man it is no secret that from the time he began walking on planet earth he began predicting its end

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure.  It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies.  Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren.  America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans...

Sky-high hopes for Rubio as VP go up in smoke... With triangulating RNC pollster-eggheads having convinced Team Romney that a Hispanic running-mate is somehow essential to Republican victory in November (rather than superficial things like policy, principle, ideas, experience, etc) the shaky, unloved front-runner apparently felt the need to wrap up an early commitment from some other heavy-hitter with major name recognition....  Since Rubio is unavailable -and after (colorful) talks with Charo ended in disappointment- actor Cheech Marin has stepped-up to fill the perceived void on the 2012 GOP ticket. Romney's surprise move has shocked some observers, wags wasting no time in labeling the pair 'Flippy -n- Hippy'. Marin...

No, I'm kidding. April Fools. Keefie is still fired. Oh, haven't you heard? Keith Olbermann was fired AGAIN, this time by Current TV, Algore's little network that nobody watches. And Keef now is vowing to take Algore to court. And so I'm NOT kidding about the DUmmies being torn. I mean, Olbie vs. Algore? What's a progressive to do? Multiple threads on this at the DUmp, more people commenting than probably watched his show. We'll start with this THREAD, "Gored: Olbermann Out at Current," and take it from there. So let us keep Current with KO and his fans...

April Fool’s Day Announcement Brings Practical Joke to an End WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – In an April Fool’s Day announcement that took the political world by storm, the Republican Party revealed today that its entire presidential race had been an elaborate prank. “April Fool!” exclaimed former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum at a press conference in Washington, where they were joined by fellow merrymakers Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Herman Cain. Moments after revealing that the GOP primary had been one long practical joke, Mr. Santorum explained the rationale behind staging such...

Created for OMG! For America

pparently desperate to get spending underway on the California High-Speed Rail project, Gov. Jerry Brown has dramatically cut how much it will cost. No longer will the train cost $89 billion more than state taxpayers have to pay for it. Now it’ll be only $59 billion short. Yeah, that’s like saying you will drown in only 59 feet of water instead of the deep end – 89 feet...

In olden times, the people of rural America sought a vision, and they went up on the Hill of Saynomorah, and were met by mysterious figures, including the preacher McLame, who said, "only follow me, and my assistant Sweet Medicine, and we will remove the curse from the land." And the people said, but what about Mitt here, he is fair to look at, and only treats his dog bad. But the figures said trust us, anyone can win, yet it was not so. And the people kept going up the hill, until the received the plates of Obama from...

(Reuters) - AOL Inc on Friday won the dismissal of a lawsuit by unpaid bloggers who complained they were deprived of their fair share of the roughly $315 million that the company paid last March to buy The Huffington Post website.

As this week went along, it became increasing clear that the Supreme Court may very well end up ruling that Obamacare, AKA the ACA (Affordable Care Act), is unconstitutional. Where in the Constitution is the federal government given the power to FORCE citizens to buy a certain good or service? So it looks like Obamacare's days may be numbered. The DUmmies are depressed, right? WRONG! Oh, some of them see this as a defeat, yes. But many of them are OVERJOYED! Why? Because this will now pave the way for the DUmmies' ultimate dream plan, namely, UNIVERSAL SINGLE-PAYER HEALTHCARE...
