"Obama said he had been left at the altar a couple of times (by Republicans). And he asked a great question. He said, 'Can they say yes to anything?' A Democrat now has offered cuts in Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and the Republicans still said 'no.' What is the Democrats' next offer? Kansas goes back to being a slave state? Obama moves back to Kenya?" —Bill Maher, on the debt ceiling negotiations
The-World-Is-A-Safer-Place-Without-Osama "George W. Bush will give his first interview about the killing of Osama bin Laden next month on cable TV. It's excepted to be the highest-rated episode ever of 'Cake Boss.'" –Conan O'Brien
Oily Business
India expects to make a first payment to Iran through Turkey for billions of dollars in unpaid crude oil bills as it seeks to avert a cut-off in fuel shipments, the oil minister said Friday.

Republican Shenanigans Another Classless Rethug

people offended by his online post using the death of British singer Amy
Winehouse to make a point about the federal government.
"Jeb
Bush is toying with the idea of running for president. Well, I'm toying with the
idea of drinking again." –David Letterman
Judge Mocks Orly Taitz For “Stupidity” - Well yeah. He had no other options really.
A prominent ‘birther’ and
critic of President Obama has been chastised by a federal judge for “either
toying with the Court or displaying her own stupidity” because she can’t seem to

Rock-The-Voter News
The Twitterverse was abuzz
at the undiplomatic critique leveled this week at Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton's pantsuits-favoring fashion sense by style expert Tim Gunn.
I'm
glad Hillary cares more about her job than her wardrobe and would gladly offer
my services as her personal shopper because I think she could look FABULOUS!
"Sarah
Palin said that if a deal isn't reached by Aug. 2, nothing will happen. Do you
hear that, award-winning economists?" –Jimmy Kimmel
Business News Emails From AHNC Viewers
Hi, Lisa. Sent you a small donation this morning. Not much but I learned in my youth that many small drops – contributed consistently – eventually fill the pond. I remember that it was your site (during the darkest days of the W years) that helped keep a smile on my spirit. You became my Molly Ivins. How can I not say ‘thank you’ for your humor and good (research) work. Makes me proud. Lois
Dear
Lois,
Don't worry Be Happy
We're moving heavy this weekend and while moving is oftimes scary, this will be good. ... My financial recovery is doing good. NOW!!! How are you? Dead reckoning off interviews and some figurin' makes you "my age"! Woo Hoo!.. If I can help you in small ways, you let me know. You've brightened my days for many years. May the best in medicine find it's way to you! Love ya Kid! Brian
Thanks again, Brian, and your loyal support through all of our equally difficult times. Am I the luckiest petite political comedy website to have supporters as you or what! And wishes for your luck to continue! Hugs and humor Brian, Lisa
Some Good Thoughts
hey, Lisa,
I have lit so many candles meditating that I'm afraid I'm going to burn down the travel trailer I'm staying in on my property in Alabama, (photo not included). But I agree, I had such positive energy and many friends in Costa Rica helping me in fighting my cancer but the minute I returned to the US all hell broke loose and now I am stuck here by my spouse legally preventing me to return to my cancer care. I am already 4 months overdue for my six month checkup and have just found a lump. It is hard not to internalize that. Not to mention the dizzy spells I have been experiencing for a few months...I have convinced myself they are due to all the stress. Better that than thinking its brain cancer...lol Thank you for the good vibrations. Even though things didn't take a turn for the best legally for me, without your good wishes things could have been worse. And I say that to all who sent me good wishes. Hugs and humor,'Kathy lisa

you well, and get rid of the evil spirits surrounding you.
