One-Liner: Twitter going down
October 27, 2009
If unemployment rates went down as often as Twitter did, the United States would be at 0% unemployment by December.

One-Liner: Health Care Reform care of Joe Wilson
September 9, 2009
It’s pleasant to think that Joe Wilson may have just guaranteed health care reform with a decidedly “robust” public option. Obviously, it helps a lot that President Obama has joined the fray, but this “You lie!” embarrassment may be something that really sinks the GOP in this battle for health care reform. It’s getting more and more difficult to get around the glaring fact that many of today’s Republicans have come unhinged.
One-Liner: Subsidize this
September 9, 2009
Just remember, folks, the U.S. is not in the business of subsidizing people for health care. Oh, they’ll subsidize the oil industry and the war machine, but the line must be drawn somewhere.

If Barack Obama flew to Kenya to celebrate his birthday today, it would be the most hyper-awesome move any president has ever made.

One-Liner: Remembering the Dow Jones
July 28, 2009
Remember the good old days, about six months back, when the Dow Jones was the most important economic indicator on the planet for every news organization? Not so much anymore.

You looking at me? Or not? If not, sorry for the accusatory tone.

One-Liner: Need some Juice
July 23, 2009
During these hard times, this country needs an O.J. scandal more than ever. Maybe he can break out.

One-Liner: Death becomes them
July 20, 2009
Seeing right-wing killers in real-life action hasn’t stopped the right-wing from using murder as a political act. A couple days ago, it was Pat Buchanan suggesting that Todd Palin should kill Levi Johnston. And now we have Ralph Peters advising the Taliban to execute their kidnapped American soldier. Perhaps someone in the more moderate section of conservatism should consider trying to shut that down? Because it’s really getting creepy. This shit has got to end.

One-Liner: How to tell Michael Jackson coverage has ebbed
July 20, 2009
Just saw a story from MSNBC with the headline: “What we didn’t know about the moonwalk” And it was about Micheal Jackson. I suppose Jackson coverage will now be limited to the outside parameters of the media, for Greta Van Susteren and the like.

One-Liner: A great loss to humankind
July 7, 2009
Today, the world comes together to mourn the loss of Michael Jackson. Also, a few mourn the loss of the word “perspective” from the English language.
One-Liner: Sarah Palin
July 3, 2009
First it’s Billy Mays, now Sarah Palin. It seems like we’re losing a lot of TV-friendly folks who like to peddle crap.

One-Liner: The quiet good bye
June 30, 2009
For all the column inches and TV time given to promoting the need to attack Iraq, the beginning of the (sort of) pull out of U.S. troops from Iraq has been met with the resounding sound of crickets from the U.S. media.

One-Liner: Critical thinking on Iran
June 21, 2009
Is it conspiratorial or skeptical to wonder how Iran protesters had protest signs in English so quickly? Between that and Twitter, it’s like they’ve done a whole version of the conflict with subtitles.
