The story about Abraham Lincoln is powerful. I’ve grown weary of the left taking shots at this president when he doesn’t tow the liberal line 100%.
Also, his dig at the Huffington Post and their hysterical headlines is priceless.

Jon Stewart can’t help himself. When he sees Marcus Bachmann, the loony husband of anti-gay crusader and pro-default candidate Michele Bachmann, he’s compelled to make gay jokes. Marcus Bachmann is part of the bizarre “pray the gay away” movement. Unfortunately, we’ve learned over the years that some of the loudest anti-gay voices are in fact . . . . gay!
You have to watch this clip and then the next one where Jerry Seinfeld helps Stewart repress his urge to make gay jokes about Marcus Bachmann. Listen to Marcus Bachmann’s voice. Stewart’s funniest line – “He’s an Izod shirt away from being the gay character on Modern Family.”

MSNBC just suspended Mark Halprin for saying President Obama was acting like a “dick” today on the air. He was dumb for saying it, but he was trying to make a point about Obama’s tone, and naturally everyone is treating this like it’s a HUGE news story. It’s not. It’s just the kind of “shiny object” that gives the talking heads and bloggers something to talk about for a day.
Of course this is news, but does the Huffington Post really need this blaring headline with the “breaking” flash images on both sides? Good grief . . .
The funny thing is that Halprin is a pretty good commentator who is very honest about his opinions, often taking shots at both sides, so he often comes across as a dick himself. I think the whole episode is kind of funny.
You just can’t make this stuff up, which is why the real Sarah Palin is even nuttier than Tina Fey’s fake Palin.
With Palin failing history so completely, is it any wonder that everyone keeps comparing her and Michele Bachmann?
UPDATE: For all our readers who can’t acknowledge any mistakes by Sarah Palin even when her exact words are ridiculous and clearly inaccurate, here’s a reenactment from Steven Colbert that highlights the absurdity of what Palin said.
The few historians defending her had to alter what she actually said to come up with a plausible explanation. Normal people would just admit that they misspoke on some of the details, but Sarah Palin isn’t normal. She has to stand her ground on EVERYTHING, no matter how stupid or ridiculous she sounds. Her supporters are no different. They jumped on Wikipedia and tried to change the Paul Revere page to reflect Palin’s absurd account.
This just reflects how polarized we’ve become. Both sides make mistakes, and both sides have buffoons like Sarah Palin and blowhards like Micheal Moore. Just ask yourself one question – are you constantly defending the buffoons on your own side? If so you’ve lost all perspective, along with your sense of humor about the absurdity of politics.
Enjoy the weekend:
“In the wake of the killing of Osama bin Laden President Obama’s approval rating jumped to 56 percent, his highest in two years. Which shows there is literally nothing he can do to please the other 44 percent.”

“Conspiracy theorists who are claiming that we didn’t really kill bin Laden must be reminded that they didn’t think he did the crime in the first place. Come on, nut jobs, keep your bullshit straight: The towers were brought down in a controlled demolition by George W. Bush to distract attention from Hawaii, where CIA operatives were planting phony birth records so that a Kenyan named Barack Obama could someday rise to power and pretend to take out the guy we pretended took out the towers. And I know that’s true because I just got it in an email from Trump.”
