This morning Joe Scarborough was all giddy touting that George Bush “created 3 million jobs”. This is something I have seen Republicans push for quiet sometime without backing it up with any data. Well that data is really easy to find on the Bureau of Labor Statistics website. First off, here is a nice graph […]
You just can’t make this shit up: One-legged George Bush escapes police on foot I will be laughing about it for years to come!
As typical for the times, I was running late for work. I had another night of engaging in some serious liver damage and awoke with my typical hangover. I did not know what was ready to go down. At the time I lived in a northern Cincinnati suburb, but worked in Northern Kentucky. I was […]
Given all the hate-baiting that has taken place over the Park 51 site in New York, it was only a matter of time until we started seeing stories like this: ATF and FBI agents are investigating a Saturday morning fire that damaged four pieces of equipment and could halt construction at the site of the […]

First off, here’s what George Stephanopoulos has to say: All of my reporting indicates President Obama truly hasn’t made up his mind, but my bet is Obama will follow Lincoln’s […]
John Cole points out the ending of the CBS article: The trip Columbus probably cost taxpayers between $500,000 and $1 million. Air Force One alone bills out at $100,000 per hour, and the round trip is nearly two hours. Adding to the cost are military aircraft to carry limos and secret service vehicles, Marine One […]
