Mr. Trump’s jet

Riots in England? Earthquakes on the East Coast of the US? A continuing weak economy? The European banking system facing possible collapse?
Never mind. The good news is that Donald Trump has a brand new private 757 jet.

Thank you, Mr. Trump, for allowing us to even take a look. (I’m actually semi-serious about that. In a [...]

Jody McIntyre: the news is like a partner who cheats on you and denies it

A rebel wears Gaddafi’s hat and gold chain, and holds his scepter, as he is interviewed after rebels occupy his compound in Tripoli.

Let’s have a vote: who is more simpatico, more devoted to freedom and human rights, more a symbol of decency and hope for a better world? The [...]

She has now deleted her Twitter feed (available here still), but not before tweeting this:

Republicans: when we opposed tax increases, we didn’t mean on them

AP reports:
News flash: Congressional Republicans want to raise your taxes. Impossible, right? GOP lawmakers are so virulently anti-tax, surely they will fight to prevent a payroll tax increase on virtually every wage-earner starting Jan. 1, right?
Apparently not.
Many of the same Republicans who fought hammer-and-tong to keep the George W. Bush-era income tax cuts from expiring [...]

Al Quds Day 2011: Obama is a “coconut” & “Uncle Tom” who talks “like a white man with forked tongue”

Shabbir Rizvi:
O Bright African! Your Morals are Adrift
O Bright African! Your Morals are Adrift
You talk like a white man, with forked tongue
Your slogan “Yes we can” became a mantra for the dispossessed
Everyone had great hope when you arrived in the White House
For once the black man was the occupant
A black family and an ebony first [...]
