Quote of the Day -- Who'd Have Thought?

"Who could have predicted that giving the White House to a game-show host with a disastrous business history and a glaring personality disorder would turn out so badly?"

--Andy Borowitz

Keeping in mind, of course, he's only just begun.

Quote of the Day -- On Hope

"Given that the US just elected an idiotic and incompetent reality-show host, it's almost unimaginable that eight years ago the same country elected an acclaimed author and former president of Harvard Law Review. 

This is a reminder that history does not move in a straight line, and if enough people work hard enough, good times will come again."

--Andy Borowitz

Quote of the day

"We will continue to have mass shootings as long as it is so easy to buy politicians."

--Andy Borowitz, American comedian and New York Times-bestselling author, also won the first National Press Club award for humor.

The deafening silence from the NRA this weekend

"If you still don't think guns are the problem, the absolute silence of the NRA since Friday -- even to express the minimum of condolences -- says it all."

Okay, it has to be said: Michael Steele is an idiot

From The Huffington Post:

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) - In what appears to be a reversal of a long-standing GOP position, RNC chair Michael Steele said today that he considered same-sex unions 'incredibly hot, especially when the girls are getting it on in a glass case.'"

"When asked if his comment meant that the GOP now favored same-sex marriage, Mr. Steele clarified his position: 'If we're talking about two hot lesbian girls simulating marriage in a glass case, yes, I am very much into that sort of thing.'"

No, Mr. Steele. That is decidedly not what we're talking about.

I'll tell you, Michael Steele is not doing himself or his political party any good service, as nearly as I can tell.

I thought the big spending was going to be his worst enemy and possible downfall but I'm not sure if it's going to be that or his mouth.

When I saw this story, I swear I thought it must be a late April Fool's joke.

Idiocy. Truly.
