RIP, Rodney King. Though he was in the middle of an incident that brought out the worst in people, Rodney King let it bring out the best in him. There are people who spend their lives writing and making speeches who never come up something as simple, elegant, and appropriate as “Can we all get along?”
Obama’s move in changing immigration policy is brilliant politically. During the primaries, Mitt Romney staked out a position on immigration that was to the extreme right. He was getting ready to try and change his position on immigration for the general election. But this move by Obama essentially rips the Etch A Sketch right out of Mitt’s hands!
Meanwhile, Mitt Romney refuses to say whether or not he would overturn President Obama’s order on immigration enforcement. Mitt was dodging all the questions about immigration this weekend... on Face the Nation. You would think the name of the program would shame him into at least taking a stand. Mitt, there’s a reason they call it “Face the Nation” instead of “Pretend You Don’t See The Nation” or “Cross the Street To Avoid Running Into the Nation.”
Mitt was going crazy with weather metaphors during an Ohio leg of his bus tour that featured alternating rain and sunshine. It’s actually fitting that Mitt makes weather references. Mitt is a lot like a weatherman—he’s wrong most of the time.
The horse that Mitt Romney owns is going to the Olympics as part of the US Olympic dressage team. If you don’t know what dressage is, chances are you don’t own a lot of million-dollar horses. Part of dressage is a little in-place dance that the horses do called “piaffes.” I’m sorry, but if you’re doing “piaffes” in “dressage,” you’re not part of an athletic competition, you’re part of a Broadway musical. The Romneys claimed a $77,000 loss for the care of their dressage horse on their 2010 tax return. They do this ridiculous sport for fun. If Mitt Romney can write off the care of his dressage horse, I should be able to write off the money I spent on renting bowling shoes.

I must admit, I've never been to Oklahoma. I have family friends from there, but it's one part of the Great Plains I've managed to avoid in my life. Yet that didn't stop me from feeling quite a bit of empathy with those folks in the...
For over a week, Republicans have refused to focus on anything but so-called scandal. And, it turns out, that's exactly the way they want it. On Thursday, the Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank, sent a letter to...
A new CNN poll shows Obama's favorability rating at 53 percent. That's up from 51 percent in April, and up from the 51.1 percent from the poll that really counted last November. Like before the scandals, 45 percent of people disapprove of the...
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives have made their point – they hate Obamacare. And, just in case anyone didn't get the message the first 36 times they made that point, they're about to waste even more taxpayer...
It turns out the IRS was investigating conservative organizations seeking tax-exempt status. Duh! And the TSA has been looking at people seeking to get on airplanes. None of the conservative organizations that the IRS was "targeting" were...
The Associated Press has accused the Justice Department of "massive and unprecedented intrusion." That's according to one of the AP's top executives, after learning that the government secretly acquired two months of the news...
It seems that the Republicans won't stop until their attacks over Benghazi are as vicious as the attack in Benghazi. The Republicans would have you believe that the Obama administration altered the talking points on Benghazi out of political...
According to the U.S. Supreme Court, Monsanto has the right to control our food supply. In a unanimous ruling released this morning, the nine Justices sided with the agricultural giant, and held that an Indiana farmer violated Monsanto's...
Yesterday, Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives postponed all floor votes so they could hold their ninth hearing about Benghazi. Instead of working on any number of pressing issues effecting Americans, Republicans spent nine...
Oh, you crazy Americans! Here you are, obsessed with guns, thinking you need them to stop some leering thug from invading your home and taking everything you have. Truth be told, you don't have to worry about that nearly as much as, say, 20...
