From a guy who grew up in the south, to anyone who thinks the southern accent is cute or sexy: Please don't. It is not sexy, it is dumb and gross. You are being attracted to the equivalent of Snooki.

Wow, Fox News is really pissed about the cancelled White House tours. Michelle Malkin is on Fox and Friends to complain about how the White House continues to spend on the president's chef and motorcade. On a side note, Tucker Carlson is a weekend host for Fox and Friends. I'm amazed that he can still show himself in public after the Daily Caller was caught in a lie this week, but then again, these people have no shame.

But the President is still GOLFING! This has to bite the right wing in the rear end, how much more disingenuous can you be? Squawking about the debt and then bitching that tours are cancelled just because you can't use them to butter up your constituents, our politics in a nutshell.

Effectively, WaPo checked up on a Daily Caller story and surprise surprise, it's all bullshit they got by showing a hooker a bad picture of Menendez over Skype and asking 'you fuckee this man?' When they asked the hooker how she knew it was Menendez she said that she googled "Bob" and his picture came up. C'mon son.

I grew up in North Carolina (in a rural area too,) and have lived here most of my life, and I have about as much of a southern accent as Ben Folds. Most people I know also sound like that. I think it's something about growing up with television and lots of people who moved here from all over because of the lower cost of living that gives you a kind of a regionless accent.

I see that there. posted:I'm actually kind of concerned that more people posting in the "Dittoheads, Great Americans, Fairness and Balance - Right Wing Media" thread don't actually listen to or watch right wing media at this point. Newshounds and MediaMatters are two pretty good websites that monitor a lot of these shows, wading through the worst of it and posting the most egregious examples of shitheaditry. I'm not sure if I posted those sources before or not. http://www.newshounds.us/ http://mediamatters.org/

I never really checked out the Daily Caller until my schadenfreude week of right wing media gluttony right after the election. What a lovely site. I thought it was supposed to be something like National Review Online which, while also lovely, at least has articles about Things and Issues. Daily Caller seems to function on a completely juvenile snark level, like a right wing Wonkette but much less funny even. I don't understand how Carlson can even look in the mirror in the morning.

Here guys, enjoy a video of Bill O'Reilly going on a screaming fit against Colmes. Just ignore Cenk being Cenk here. In other news, there is some small modicum of justice in the world. James O'Keefe has to pay a former ACORN employee $100,000 for the fraud he perpetuated.

I was browing the dark side of Youtube for laughs, and I came across this guy called 'Ghost'. I can't quite decide, but the guy is either completely insane or a comic genius. Generally his approach seems to be to rant about something, and work himself up to the point that he is violently wretching, foaming at the mouth and coughing his guts up. Here is is ranting about communists in congress and chairman Mao. Skip to 3:15 for the real craziness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtqMzsPKY2c&t=195s

Let's please get this thread back on track. I was listening to Chris Plant today (re-broadcast from this week on local station in Northern Va) and he was talking about how Rupublicans are the ones that want to help the poor move on up in society and economically (boostraps, baby!) and the Democraps want to keep them poor as to get their votes. Anyone else get this yahoo on their radio station? I beleive he comes on before Rush "Im about to Gush" Limbaugh
