I really hope you've never, ever proceeded through a green without slowing and looking both ways because you'd look like a real rear end right now if you haven't. Nope, never have. Not paying attention to cross streets is a sign of a bad driver.

Limbaugh Chat: FYI Google taught Obama how to astroturf last campaign season. So...most communications to representatives from "constituents" concerning the effects of the sequester are the result of Google teaching Obama how to astroturf. That's some weak poo poo right there.

His reasoning doesn't need to be good, the whole show is just 'gently caress OBAMA! here's why. gently caress OBAMA! here's why.' His listeners are just like 'gently caress OBAMA!!!! gently caress OBAMA!!! gently caress OBAMA!!!' and the reasoning only needs to be there so they can pretend there's justification for it. I doubt they even know or understand 99% of what Rush says, even if it did make sense. Even so, that's pretty weak, even for Rush.

Sir Tonk posted:Speaking of odd stories, I didn't see anything about Woodward's emails today. Drudge was nice enough to grace us with his usual top story bluster and it really seems like Woodward has lost it. Came here to post this. Rush and Cain cited him on their shows today. Woodward just seems like a slimy opportunist to me. I remember reading State of Denial a few years back and, as much as I disliked Bush and Rumsfeld and wanted to agree with everything in it, I was skeptical and instead kept finding myself wondering how Woodward could know half the poo poo he wrote in that book unless he was in the room when it happened. So many passages from it read as if he personally had the Oval office wiretapped. It was like reading Albert Goldman's book on Lenny Bruce. The right wing media back then (rightfully) pitched a poo poo fit about that book and painted Woodward for what he is, but now I guess he's an unimpeachable source and a free speech martyr because he's hammering on the President and Obama doesn't like it. All of a sudden, Cain and Rush are first amendment champions and for a free press. Badera posted:Jesus Christ, that Wonkette article is nigh-unreadable. I feel like I should have my Idiocracy dictionary handy. Rehubbilitashun. Why you tryin' to read that word? You a fag or somethin'? edit: Anyone hear Alex Jones on Stern this week? Listening to it now. He actually referred to himself at one point as "Alex Young" as he was ranting about some poo poo. "I'm not making it up! Go to YouTube and Google 'Alex Young arrested'". Stern is making a fool out of him just by letting him talk and asking him serious questions. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 21:21 on Mar 1, 2013 |

For me, 50s-style Retro Animation would have 2 characters running while the passing the same looped background multiple times and being cartoonishly affected by the laws of physics. Also, a mouse pulling a giant mallet from behind his back and walloping a cat with it. Give me that, because it works, too: The cheese represents gold, mouse trap is taxes, the mouse represents true patriots, the mallet represents guns, and the cat represents the militant enforcers of the Feds' authority.

It really is a good thing that the Libertarian propoganda arm is as dumb as their political philosophy or we could be in some serious trouble. After watching the trailer twice I couldn't tell you any of the characters' names, anything about the plot, or really any detail other than FIAT MONEY BAD COMMODITY MONEY GOOD. The "riot" scene has them fighting against literal Federal Reserve Police.

Reading that left me totally speechless. The entire page, from article to comments, reads like a satire piece on the GOP. What the ever loving hell drives someone to write this tripe? For interested goons, The Invisible War covers this in depth. Prepare for unmitigated rage and frustration.

Short version, workers at a Spam factory started developing a rare neurological disorder after being exposed to aerosolized pig brains. The factory found reasons to fire them when they started costing the company money. So, gently caress that guy.

Foxnews keeps perpetuating the myth that government budgets are the same as household budgets. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/03/01/americans-absorb-36-percent-pay-cut-while-washington-fights-over-sequester-647959305/ I love that url. "Americans absorb 36 percent pay cut while Washington fights over sequester." Hey everyone! Two things happened! But more seriously, it presents no alternative point of view to austerity, and, as far as I can tell, is not an opinion piece. Just read this paragraph and try to see it as neutral point of view. quote:As Americans’ income fell by 3.6 percent in January, President Obama and Congressional leaders were warning of the dire consequences of sequester, the budgetary booby trap that forces cuts of as little as a third of that from the mammoth federal spending plan. Working stiffs sucked it up and absorbed the biggest monthly drop in income in 20 years, while the elected officials insisted that the federal budget had no fat to trim.

I'm housesitting this weekend and have access to television~~~. Since Regular Show stopped playing on Cartoon Network last night, I found Democracy Now! and then had Free Speech TV in the background for like 3 hours while I got some work done. It's pretty interesting to see the difference between major network TV and FSTV, but it's also kind of embarrassing seeing the low production values. I found it interesting that it's also has no commercials; however, it fits directly into their MO.
