One of the liberties political cartoonists enjoy is making our characters say things they never actually said and get away with it. But I couldn’t make this line up.

In all fairness, inflating tires according to the car manufacturer’s guidelines does slightly improve gas mileage. But you have to check regularly, know […]

Bring on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and every other unfriendly world leader and Obama will sit down and chat with them directly. And, according to the Associated Press, “In May, when a McCain adviser proposed a series of pre-convention appearances at town hall meetings, Obama said, ‘I think that’s a great idea…Obviously, we would have to […]

Dang! I know I have to vote for one of the two presumptive nominees. But, never has my choice been so difficult. Both candidates give me great pause for concern, and I feel like the DNC has abandoned the party I signed up for years ago.
So, while I was moaning and groaning […]

You can almost set your calendar by it. Our Presidents’ hair turns gray while in office. The cause has got to be that unrelenting, nerve-racking stress that automatically accompanies the most grueling job on the planet.
Leading the free world in times of acute crisis both here and abroad is a 180 from jogging […]

What I love best about No Quarter is the smart, lively debate about issues of critical concern, the colorful and flamboyant language that is often enough wildly clever and can be knee-slapping funny, and the fact that it does not shut out visitors simply for disagreeing with each other or the author of the post.

According to Politico’s Carrie Budoff Brown, who is accompanying Obama on his trip to the Middle East and Europe, Obama’s campaign sent out a “dress code” that especially targeted female reporters as to the appropriate attire while traveling in Israel and Jordan.
Obama press told to cover up, not wear green

Max Cleland–a beloved Democrat who lost three limbs in a hand grenade accident while engaged in combat operations in Viet Nam–is a guy you would definitely want to have at your party, especially if you want to be President of the United States. Aside from being a decorated war hero, Cleland was the administrator of […]

Obama’s globe-prancing, as if he is already the elected President of the United States, has instigated a dispute within a foreign country.
The distinction between elected state leaders and a partisan candidate (one who has yet to be formally nominated!) has not escaped German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who was upset by the request by […]

You’ve got to hand it to David Plouffe (pronounced Pluff), even though he rarely makes headlines, hates to have his photo taken, and prefers to attend to the mechanics of the Obama campaign out of sight. As its manager, Plouffe planned a ground game like no other before him. How else could an […]

“Let them eat cake!” is the response attributed to Marie-Antoinette, queen consort of Louis XVI, when informed that the poor had no bread.
It seems Michelle Obama has her own twist regarding those whose income is low enough to qualify for the $600 government’s so-called stimulus tax relief package. Criticizing the short term […]
