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.”

This is going to be a fun political season.
The Donald Trump circus is gearing up again. This time the Donald posted a video on YouTube to mostly take aim at the GOP to make excuses for why he ended his fake campaign.
You have to watch it. He basically threatens to run as an independent at the end if he doesn’t like the GOP nominee, so he’s determined to stay in the news.
It starts with the absurd allegation that the GOP made a terrible deal with Obama during the lame duck session, even though this occurred BEFORE he started his fake campaign began.
He then moves on to a stinging critique of the Ryan Medicare plan. In this section the DNC couldn’t have written it any better. Trump says the GOP has a “death wish” with Ryan’s plan to turn Medicare into a voucher system, and in this respect he could be come the GOP’s worst nightmare. The Ryan plan was always political suicide, so in this respect Trump actually has a point.
But then he goes on to take a cheap shot at Eric Cantor. I personally think Cantor’s insistence that any disaster relief for the tornado victims be offset by other spending cuts was politically stupid and insensitive. But Trump of course goes over the top and basically accuses Cantor of not wanting to give “any money to the tornado victims.” This is typical Trump bullshit, but now he’s aiming it at the right. I wonder how all those tea party folks who bought into Trump’s disgraceful attacks on Obama and his birth certificate feel about this clown now?
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.
