63% of Americans Thinks the News Is Inaccurate
Pew says its polling shows
that 29% of Americans say news organizations "generally get the facts straight,"
while 63% say news stories "are often inaccurate."
That contrasts with the 1985 survey showing 55% and 34%, respectively.
"The
Democrats just never learn: Americans don't really care which side of an issue
you're on as long as you don't act like pu**ies. When Van Jones called the
Republicans a**holes, he was paying them a compliment. He was talking about how
they can get things done even when they're in the minority, as opposed to the
Democrats, who can't seem to get anything done even when they control both
houses of Congress, the presidency, and Bruce Springsteen."--Bill Maher

Obama Calls Kanye West A Jackass
President
Barack Obama yesterday labeled Kanye West a "jackass" after the rapper's
outburst at the MTV awards.
Obama, normally disciplined about what he says,
called West a "jackass" during an off-the-record portion of a television
interview with CNBC. A rival ABC reporter, Terry Moran, picked it up and sent it
out as a tweet last night: "Pres Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass'
for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential."

Michael Moore May Quit Making Documentaries?
Michael Moore says he
made his latest documentary, "Capitalism: A Love Story," as though it were his
last. And it might be.
The George W. Bush antagonist of "Fahrenheit 9/11" and gun-control champion of
"Bowling for Columbine" closing up shop? The General Motors jouster of "Roger &
Me" and health-care trouper of "Sicko" no longer in the documentary business?
"I'm saying it's a possibility, yeah," Moore said in an interview at the
Toronto International Film Festival
"Back when
George Bush was president, Democrats in Congress, to be fair, would occasionally
go 'Boooo!' But President Bush never took it personally, he just thought
Congress was haunted." --Craig Ferguson

George Bush Legacy: Trickle On Economics
Thursday's
annual Census Bureau report on income, poverty and access to health care-the
Bureau's principal report card on the well-being of average Americans-closes the
books on the economic record of George W. Bush.
It's not a record many Republicans are likely to point to with pride.
On every major measurement, the Census Bureau report shows that the country lost ground during Bush's two terms. While Bush was in office, the median household income declined, poverty increased, childhood poverty increased even more, and the number of Americans without health insurance spiked. By contrast, the country's condition improved on each of those measures during Bill Clinton's two terms, often substantially.

champion Pittsburgh Penguins. Yeah, when asked if he likes hockey, Obama said,
'What black man from Hawaii doesn't?'" --Conan O'Brien
