Hooray (kind of)!!! The so-called “fiscal cliff” has been averted (for now). A deal was reached at the very last minute, and, to save us all from their own manufactured crisis, Democrats and Republicans came together in peace and harmony (HAHAHAHAHAHA!) and voted to increase taxes on the richest Americans, extend unemployment benefits, and support […]
Mitt Romney is getting desperate. Sure, national polling is close, with only a slight edge for Obama becoming apparent in recent days. However, the electoral college – that archaic remnant of the early days of our Union – not so much. Romney looks to have a depressing Tuesday night ahead of him. At least, if […]
There are less than 3 weeks to go before election day. The final debate is tonight. The audience, is huge.

The biggest laugh line (yes, he got a laugh) from Mitt Romney’s acceptance speech came from mentioning climate change, specifically President Obama’s attempt at alleviating its effects. “President Obama promised to […]
Welcome to Bizarro-World. Poor, poor Mitt. Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, that everything you say is red meat to your Republican base, that all your hard work courting the far right of your party has paid off, you end up on the wrong side of the fence. We all know […]
