Obama rides around in an armored vehicle because he knows he's not bulletproof.

Putin rides on a traffic cop bike because he thinks he's bulletproof.

I love how most people don't even know that the KGB is long gone.

Though I don't know if the FSB is effectively the same thing.

The thing I love most about conservatives loving Putin is their obliviousness to just how staged all of Putin's antics are. Half the time he doesn't even know what the gently caress he's doing. I remember hearing that the reason why he rode a trike motorcycle instead of a regular two wheel was because he'd never ridden a motorcycle before.

My impression was that it was because they're easier to ride in a slow-moving parade.

Loving all this education/math talk in this thread about Right Wing Media.

If it's any consolation, the right wing will stomp their feet and yell that China is overtaking us in math test scores but cut every cent they can for education they can get away with.

So while I try to find a better job, I'm currently delivering pizzas at a pretty good rate. One of the customers I delivered to on Monday night said that he'd have been able to tip me more if a Republican was in the White House and thought I didn't get what he was saying because I don't know about big oil or some poo poo. I mean, I just share a home state with Dick Cheney is all and my home town is a renter's market for oil field workers. The guy was wearing a fedora, so I would have pegged him as a libertarian if I had to guess what his political views are because I'm an awful human being on the inside. It was still completely out of nowhere.

Which works out great when you have the Joker who won't stop killing people. I remember being a bit confused and outraged as a kid watching the Saturday morning cartoon Batman where the Joker's schemes involved using laughing gas that made people laugh until they die. So the Joker would launch loving gas attacks on Gotham and all he gets is locked away in the super special minimum security prison for people Batman beats up.

Great.

Now we get to hear about "Obama's War" (Iraq) in the same vein as "Obama's Recession" and "Obama's Economy". They're going to hang this failed poo poo on Barrack Obama when, even back when 80% of the country was for this stupid, chickenshit war, all of the smartest people knew it was the dumbest idea ever.

I mean, who could have seen this situation in Iraq coming? Besides anyone paying attention I mean. They're going to (successfully) pin this on Barrack Obama for having the audacity to get the gently caress out of there and no on in the media will call out the right wing hawks who criticize him nor cite any of their quotes from 2002-2008.

As Iraq (predictably) erupts into chaos, it's going to be all about how Obama lost an unwinnable, stupid war waged for no reason at all.

When the withdrawal date was first announced by Bush, I knew it was so that in the event a Democrat won the presidency that it was going to make them look bad if anything went wrong.

Although I do get that this is one of many shortcomings in the law and could have been avoided by just going with a fully socialized option, but try explaining that to a bunch of college kids who, as one girl said today, "don't need Obamacare because I don't get sick."

I compressed my ulnar nerve by leaning on my desk and lost feeling in part of my hand for four months when I was 22 in 2009. I can only imagine what that would have cost my parents if I wasn't under their plan. These dumb loving kids.

Speaking of Ayn Rand, I was in a bookstore earlier and saw Ayn Rand books in the "required reading for schools" section. That's kinda sad.

Maybe, if it's being made required reading by a Randian blowhard. lovely novels like Twilight are required reading in literary analysis courses all over.

My mother was the one that gave me the talk. Probably because my father was way too embarrassed to do it and he's the kind of person that will wait outside on a bench while my mother looks at underwear.

Anyway, all it comprised of was that I use my own condoms because she knew a few girls in high school that would poke holes in them. And to never get married to someone that wasn't white or non-Christian. She denies ever saying that part.

My right wing relatives were talking about this Ferguson stuff and came to the conclusion that because of the huge amount of calls that the police have to deal with, shooting someone every once in a while is ok and just statistical noise. I sorta just sat there like :shepface: the whole time. It was insane.

As someone whose father is a retired cop and has several relatives in law enforcement and in fire fighting--yeah, they do put up with a lot of poo poo. Nothing like giving up your scheduled vacation because you got a call for a body that was found behind a business and both detectives in the county are unavailable.

But no, there's no loving excuse for shooting a kid that gave you some lip.
