Random

A. Unless you are crashing into the Hudson River, don't fly your 747 through Manhattan with F-16s chasing you.

B. Fox News is a crybaby spoilsport. Your guy lost, get over it. Just because your slanted coverage and media bias failed to pay off this time you are just going to take your toys and go home? How can they now claim to be "Fair" or balanced when they only spend their hours criticizing Obama but don't allow him to tell his story on their station. This is the exact definition of bias and unfairness. Sorry, but my bullshit detector just went off. If Rush Limbaugh held a news conference they would cancel every show for a week and just replay it over and over. Of course Rush would never do that because it would mean he would have to actually answer questions from the audience and we know he just either talks out of his ass with no regards to facts or reads pre-written notes.

C. Instead of arresting Somali pirates, why don't we start kidnapping them and holding them for ransom? I mean, their organizations have millions of dollars and at some point they are going to run out of pirates so their foot soldiers may be a valuable commodity worth them paying for.

D. If you believed that email about the police picking on the first white guy they could find with regards to the Craigslist Killer, you are an idiot. Just because a guy is white, well kept and educated doesn't mean he isn't a killer. In fact, I would say the majority of serial type killers fit that exact profile. Didn't Ted Bundy and Timothy McVeigh look like a guy you would want to live next to?

E. Out of 300 Million people, 8 have the swine flu. Why don't you spend your time reporting on something that actually kills far more people like how many people choke to death while chewing on their ball point pens. Seriously, you are more likely to die from that than the swine flu. But you have to admit that maybe the Muslims and Jews are on to something. Of course they still eat chicken and spinach.

F. Pontiac is gone and I am sure it’s a Unions fault somehow not bad, overpaid management, bad engineering, bad marketing and boring cars. If you want to save the next brand of American cars lets stop importing Kias.

G. Are Republicans in Minnesota going to start wearing "Sore Looserman" T-Shirts now that Coleman has lost...again.

H. Arlen Specter has seen the light apparently. There is more room for the rest of you...except the I.D. Bush wackos. We don't want them.

I. Texas can secede but they have to take Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama with them and yes, there will be a border fence.

Thoughts on the Teabaggers

As I watch a streaming feed from a zoomed in Fox News Camera of a small crowd of white people made to look like a large crowd I can't help to laugh at the irony of the whole thing. Here is why:

A. It's the middle of the day and none of these people seem to be at work. If they aren't at work, then they aren't paying taxes any way. Maybe if they worked a little more and therefore made more money, maybe they wouldn't be so worried about taxes. That being said, as of April, Obama's tax cuts kick in to over 95% of all Americans. I certainly don't see any of the elite 5% in this crowd so what are they so angry about?

B. Some lady just got off the mic talking about how we need to support the troops; where do you think our tax money goes?? You can't have it both ways. Either you pay your taxes and the troops get body armor, or you don't pay taxes and the troops don't get the support they need. Now, one could argue that without all the taxes paid to the federal government, they could have never waged such a war in Iraq to begin with. This however, certainly is not the anti war crowd, just the opposite.

C. I am looking at a sign that says "Obama = United Socialist States of America"; when it comes to wealth distribution from the working class up to the rich, you know the trend Bush started with his no strings attached round of corporate bailouts, I would agree that we have become this reverse version of Socialism where money trickles/gushes from the bottom up. However, Obama is not the one who started that original trend of wealth redistribution; that was Reagan.

D. Where were they in November? You know, when every il-run company and its subsidiaries were running to the Bush Administration, and Paulson handed billions of no strings attached dollars to AIG so they could pay the $12.9 Billion they owed to his former company Goldman and Sachs (sound familiar?)? I get it; it was ok when the good ol boy Republican was doing it but not when the black guy does it.

E. The Boston Tea Party was not even about paying taxes, it was mainly about taxation without representation. The United States has a representative government. I know it didn't feel that way for the last 8 years and apparently our leaders are chosen in some cases as opposed to elected but in theory, we don't live under a system of taxation without representation. But not only that, the colonists were also protesting the fact that the British wouldn't allow the colonies to grow their own tea or import it from anyone except the British East India Company.

So I really don't get what this is supposed to be about. They cry when we can't bomb Korea, they cry when our education system sucks and pumps out kids who can't even find their own state on a map, they cry when a bridge collapses and kills a bunch of people but they don't want their taxes, or the taxes on the rich, who benefit the most from our American system, to pay more taxes. Maybe they think we should only raise taxes on people who don't make any money? I'll bet that would raise the revenue they need to build that missile shield they all so desire. What do you think; could they squeeze 500 Billion out of the poor?

Also, do they even care to know what would happen if AIG would have collapsed taking everyones 401k and the economy with them? What other options did we have other than another Great Depression? AIG provided insurance and investment products to over 45 million individual and institutional clients. If they want to be outraged don't do it on the steps of the White House, do it on the steps of Joe Cassano's house (the tax cheat head of AIG's financial products division) and Edward Liddy's, the CEO. Drag them out into the streets Somali style and things will change. They are the ones who got us into this mess, not Obama. I mean, protesters stood out in front of the White House protesting Iraq for 8 years but a lot of good it did them.

Here's a video of some Florida Teabaggers who were blindsided by truth and reality. I know, trying to introduce reality to a crowd like this is like trying to fit a round peg through a square hole.


More lies from the conservative media elite and the unbiased Fox News network:



And now, for even more conservative irony:

And one more thing, anyone who thinks this is some grass roots, populist movement is being lied to.

All You Need to Know About the Right Wing



This is about as good as it gets.

You can take out the "Pirate Hostage Situation" and replace it with any issue such as the economy, Iraq, war, WMDs, taxes, America's standing in the world, security, international relations, etc. and the story and it's ending would be the same when it comes to the Reich Wing. All they can do is try to scare you so you will believe their bullshit but what they don't do is offer their own solutions or help fix the problem. Always just talking about how the left will fail or that they are wrong when 98% of the time, they are the ones who are wrong.

Hey, dipshit conservative media: Obama doesn't have to answer to you, you don't know anything, you are insignificant, he is smarter than you, he has the shit under control, you, not he, will fail.

Even your stupid tea bag party will blow up in your face somehow more than it already has. And by the way, wasn't the last time America had a tea party, didn't the people who were participating in it actually have a reason to protest unreasonable taxes? I mean, I only have to assume that the tea baggers are a relative mix of all cross sections of American society, (which they aren't) as a whole which means 95% of them are having their taxes cut by the Obama administration. Again, it doesn't have to be true if they can lie and scare you into thinking they are right and can sell a few books in the process.

Wake up, you are being lied to by the conservative America hating media.
