Crazy Quote of the Day
"We are at the point, Sean, of revolution. And by that, what I mean, an orderly revolution -- where the people of this country wake up get up and make a decision that this is not going to happen on...
Obama's War
MSNBC was running a graphic with the text: "Obama's War." This war was started and botched by George W. Bush. President Obama, right or wrong, is taking a stab at fixing it. It's not his war. Adding...
Worshipping The President
Glenn Greenwald: It’s certainly true that one has no difficulty finding cult-like liberal veneration for Obama – those who invoke Bible-like "he’s-a-master-of-11-dimensional-chess" clichés to justify...

Bachmann Is Selling Robot Insurance
Michele Bachmann introduced a bill banning global currency -- a work of fiction that was entirely made-up by Bachmann and other far-right paranoiacs. Contact your representative and ask them to pass...

Sarah Palin can't stop lying. This just in: "The governor has not rejected any funds -- that I think was perhaps the interpretation and I know certainly in some of the coverage of the press event...
Glenn Beck's Crazy Reaches New Levels
Check this out: So I mean, it really bothers me, this teleprompter. … It bothers me that this man doesn’t — this man is always on prompter. You want to talk about a Manchurian candidate — that’s it...
