NEW YORK (CNN) -- The Republican Party is becoming a cartoon. Where to start? Bobby Jindal: "I'm certainly not nearly as good of a speaker as Obama." Good OF a speaker? How about not as good at eighth-grade grammar either. It's embarrassing. Sarah Palin? Billing the taxpayers for her kids to travel ...

Michael Steele groveling at Rush Limbaugh’s feet on Monday was pathetic enough: Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says he has reached out to Rush Limbaugh to tell him he meant no offense when he referred to the popular conservative radio host as an “entertainerâ€� whose s...

Another video is a clip of a comedian who went gangbusters on the Conan O'Brien show last week - another vid that caught fire.  Watch and learn. Gateway Pundit post...

I have often discussed both the fact that the anti-intellectual, know-nothing philosophy of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Sarah Palin has become the dominant position in the conservative movement.

Apparently the Louisiana Governor’s motto goes something like — pork for thee, but investment for me: BATON ROUGE - Louisiana’s transportation department plans to request federal dollars for a New Orleans to Baton Rouge passenger rail service from the same pot of railroad money in ...

Emotionally unstable people, for reasons unknown to me, are frequent fabulists. I guess they need to compensate for the overly emotional life they suffer through. The lies help them cope.
