Ha ha ha, but no, seriously, we respect Sarah for her brains.

The "rack" it refers to is the rack of Congressmen she endorsed who then got elected. Like a rack of deer mounted on the wall. See, that's the big pun they felt was strong enough to put on the cover with no explanation.

The best part is that the Marine didn't violate the dress code. Just because you wear a dress uniform doesn't mean every day items like umbrellas suddenly become radioactive. A Marine can hold an umbrella for some one else. It's only a violation if he holds it for himself.

I'm having a fun time picturing a platoon full of marines, all holding umbrellas for the marine standing next to them. I feel bad for the two who get left out.

I stole this from the GOP thread but I think it can go here. I've never heard of this guy but I bet I'm about to (when he's arrested and jailed).

quote:

Radio host Pete Santilli made shocking remarks about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, claiming she should be "shot" for being "involved in the killings of American troops."

Santilli hosts a show on his website, but says he's "ready to take my show to national syndication; that is, of course, if the FCC regulated AM/FM radio stations can handle my truth & honesty."

"Hillary Clinton needs to be convicted. She needs to be tried, convicted and shot in the vagina," Santilli said, Right Wing Watch reports. "I want to pull the trigger."

Santilli criticized Clinton over the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. He also slammed Clinton over what he called "the fake hunt down of this Obama bin Laden thing":

I want to shoot her right in the vagina and I don't want her to die right away; I want her to feel the pain and I want to look her in the eyes and I want to say, on behalf of all Americans that you've killed, on behalf of the Navy SEALS, the families of Navy SEAL Team Six who were involved in the fake hunt down of this Obama, Obama bin Laden thing, that whole fake scenario, because these Navy SEALS know the truth, they killed them all. On behalf of all of those people, I'm supporting our troops by saying we need to try, convict, and shoot Hillary Clinton in the vagina.


Santilli also criticized Obama, saying he deserves the same punishment as Clinton.

"Barack Obama needs to be tried, convicted, and shot for crimes against the United States of America," Santilli said. "And if anybody has a problem with that, then you are an enemy of our state."


Yeah. Um.

Nah, they are looking for rule breaking so they have a reason to start up impeachment hearings. If Clinton not being upfront about a blowjob is reason enough, tricking one of our fine military service members into breaking a rule should be enough too.

One wonders what the odds of this really critically backfiring on them; Obama deploys drones domestically, rolls a blunt with the Constitution, declares martial law, marches troops into the Senate chambers, and nobody believes that it's happening, they just assume it's just another 'scandal'.

Caller in to Rush today says that he is dismayed that he can't get full healthcare coverage because of Obamacare. Why not? Because companies won't schedule him for full time because Obamacare is making companies retreat to the cheapest plans possible for their employees. Somehow this is a failure of Government instead of the companies that are supposed to be providing their employees with healthcare, our lovely capitalist healthcare system in general, and the continuing effects of our "new normal" recession. :wtc:

It actually is a failure that the bill does create perverse incentives to play scheduling games and people pointed it out back when the bill was being discussed. When the government creates incentives to do a thing it's a little hard to get mad at employers for taking advantage of that. Yes, employers are being assholes but that's no surprise in loving America, if your bill relies on employers being altruistic then it is pretty much just a bad bill.

I'm not much of an Obamacare fan, but it seems like they anticipated that businesses would take the lazy way out and just, you know, provide their employees with healthcare rather than jump through hoops playing scheduling games just to save a little money. Turns out a lot of American business owners are petty, tight-fisted shitheads.

God says there is a penalty in your own body when you do this kind of sexual acts - the Bible calls them shameful sexual acts - and so we as Christians have to have that same position, regardless of what the culture says." - "historian" David Barton

Single payer was never in the cards even though Fox and the usual right-wing mouthpieces were hyping the proposed reforms as such. You can lay blame for our lovely healthcare system at the feet of both parties pretty easily. You would think businesses should be gung-ho about single payer since it would absolve them of having to provide their workers healthcare, but the health insurance sector has some very deep pockets. I definitely agree that Obamacare has fostered the environment of companies moving to cheaper healthcare plans, but this would go hand-in-hand with them trying to minimize their expenses to maximize their profits because they care gently caress all about their workers.

The caller was constantly referencing his one month old kid and how he had to work 2 part-time jobs in order to work full time, but he got none of the benefits of full-time employment. Never does it enter into his mind one nanosecond that just maybe our healthcare system is fundamentally broken and that his employers are shafting him because there are dozens of other workers that can replace him because our economy is still in the shitter, and I would also assume for ultimate :irony: he lives in a Right-to-Work State. It's all just "THANKS OBAMA :argh:". But then again we're talking about a Rush Limbaugh caller so I digress.

I actually had a guy I know use the exact same argument on me. He claimed that "B.O" (dude literally took the time to explain that was funny because it could also mean body odor) had directly deprived him of healthcare and money because his job at loving Outback was going to cut him below full time or whatever. I pointed out that was Outback shafting him, not the government, and he didn't know how to respond. Fifteen minutes later he started agreeing we need a single payer system.

Vermont is actually working on setting up a state-wide single payer program, so individual states still have the ability to experiment! It would please me greatly if the program delivered the best care for the cheapest cost to the state, but that doesn't do much for everyone else unfortunately. And God forbid it fail or be mired in so much as a single scandal, because the right would use it as a perpetual example of how socialism ruins EVERYTHING :freep:

Can you buy insurance on the exchange at subsidized rates if you are employed and your employer offers a plan? My company offers a plan but the deductions are horrible and the cost is prohibitive. I thought if your employer offered... anything... you were stuck with it, and not eligible for any subsidy (I make less than 4X poverty level for a single guy so the subsidy would be very welcome.)

I'm still hosed, aren't I? Just not as hosed as everybody else.
