In the universe of Star Trek, the Kobayashi Maru is a test taken by cadets at Starfleet command. It is presented as a "no win" scenario in which there are only two possible courses of action: 1. Rescue the crew of a damaged ship, but violate a treaty to do so ...

Wow -- the previous post-election thread now has more than 1,100 comments, so before I do anything else, here's a brand spanking new thread in which to stretch out.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie toured disaster areas with President Obama yesterday and praised his quick response to Hurricane Sandy, in a moment of non-political unity that was actually pretty wonderful to see. When Christie first praised the President, I wrote: Kudos to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for putting partisan ...

Kudos to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for putting partisan politics aside, but you know the right wing base is not going to like these comments one bit: Gov. Christie Praises Obama's Response to Hurricane Sandy as 'Outstanding'. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) praised President Obama's work to help ...

Mitt Romney's lies have reached the point where his dishonesty is even being exposed by Chrysler, on their official blog: Jeep in China. There are times when the reading of a newswire report generates storms originated by a biased or predisposed approach. On Oct. 22, 2012, at 11:10 a.m. ET, the ...

Even conservative journalists now think Breitbart.com has become a bad joke, but they can still be inadvertently hilarious. Ben Shapiro's nutty, painfully incoherent rant against the pro-Obama Lena Dunham video is today's case in point: Obama Campaign to Girls: Have Sex With Vote for O. Yes, she just compared sex ...

It's almost comical, how Republican cavemen simply can't seem to stop themselves from saying disgusting, outrageous things about women and rape. Another Neanderthal emerged from his cave yesterday: Indiana GOP U.S. Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, who actually believes that if women get pregnant from a rape, it's "something God intended." And ...

Live Video: Final Presidential Debate 2012, Thread One Just to keep things nice and fast, here's a second thread as the debate begins.

PLANTS! That's what Andrew Breitbart used to yell, whenever I pointed out that the comment threads at his wingnut websites were filled to the brim with disgusting, openly racist remarks and wild, deranged conspiracy theories. All of those ugly comments were PLANTED! by devious liberals -- probably me. And as a ...

What can you even say about the open thread? It's open. It's a thread. It wants to be filled with comments. This is how I write while waiting for the season premier of The Walking Dead to start...

Yep, we know there's something weird going on with the servers and we're working on it with our host. In the meantime, here's a new thread to check things out with... UPDATE at 10/12/12 10:46:05 am It looks like we're going to need a new database server, and that's currently in the ...

You've probably noticed that LGF is running rather sluggishly today; it's because there's currently a link to LGF in the #5 spot on Reddit's home page ... and we're getting hit with a massive surge of traffic. Hundreds of thousands of hits. The Reddit link goes to Destro's LGF Page about ...

The previous debate thread has more than 500 comments now, which means that some web browsers are starting to struggle, so here's your second thread to discuss this debate-like thing that's going on in Denver...

You remember when Missouri Republican caveman Todd Akin made his weird and disgusting comments about "legitimate rape," and all the GOP bigwigs fell all over themselves to condemn Akin and call for him to drop out of the Missouri Senate race? "Oh, this is just terrible!" cried the bigwigs. You remember how ...

We've had a feature that lets you upload images to LGF for quite a while; it's available in the comment posting form, and in the LGF Pages posting window. But as LGF users' image collections have grown, it became obvious that some way was needed to manage all those images, ...

The latest nontroversy being circulated in the wingnut-o-sphere today is the release of a new logo by the Obama campaign designed around the America flag. I decided to collect some campaign flags used in the past by various political campaigns and by political groups. Finally, I bring you a comparison of ...

Here's President Obama in a forum on Univision today, responding to Mitt Romney's now-infamous "47%" comments.

Wed, Sep 19, 2012 at 1:18:08 pm
First results after the 47% comments are coming in now at Gallup, and it's more bad news for Mitt: Voters' Reaction to Romney's '47%' Comments Tilts Negative. PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans have a more negative than positive immediate reaction to Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's comments, secretly caught on video, ...

As we noted yesterday, the latest Pew Research survey found that Mitt Romney's crass attack on President Obama after the Libyan embassy killings had done Romney serious damage. Now we have two more new polls from Monmouth University and Reuters/Ipsos with similar results: Romney's Libya Comments Landed With a Thud: ...

Someone named "nick cruz" joined YouTube today, apparently just to upload this video that immediately jumped to Drudge Report, and then was cited by Mitt Romney when he appeared on Fox News today. Just sayin'. The timing seems ... a little suspicious. Anyway, here's the recording from 1998 the right wingers are ...

I think it's highly amusing that Mother Jones is using the Breitbart tactic of timed video releases against the right wing and Mitt Romney, and today they have another batch of videos from that fund-raising event at equity trader Marc Leder's mansion. In the latest video, Romney is again saying ...

Looks like New York Times conservative David Brooks is a mite put out by Mitt Romney's "47 percent" comments; he's actually breaking out the Gilligan's Island references: Thurston Howell Romney. Romney, who criticizes President Obama for dividing the nation, divided the nation into two groups: the makers and the moochers. ...

New reports from Libya confirm that the Libyan citizens the right wing blogosphere claimed were "dragging Ambassador Stevens' body through the streets like Somalia" were actually trying to save his life: Video Appears to Show Libyans Retrieving Envoy's Body. Labeled the work of Fahd al-Bakkosh, the video centers on what ...

Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 12:05:41 pm
Wow. It was pretty obvious Mitt Romney really shot himself in the foot when he crassly exploited the deaths of American diplomatic personnel overseas to attack President Obama, but the new survey from Pew Research really drives this point home: Middle East Turmoil Closely Followed; Romney's Comments Viewed Negatively. In his ...
