"Reasonable" Tea Partiers Advocate Hanging Senator Murray

FOX News Upset More Education Makes You More Liberal



FOX News asks the important questions: "Is it better to not go to college at all than to get this kind of education?"

If less people would go to school or if we had more conservative professors, we might be able to generate some of that anti-gay sentiment that Tucker Carlson seems to be craving.

Rachel Maddow and Dick Cheney Had a Good Day

Smith College announced today that their commencement speaker will be MSNBC and Air America's Rachel Maddow and the reaction of the students is out of this world...



Another excited reception today was the one Dick Cheney's surprise visit to CPAC warranted...They do know this guy supports gay marriage and advocated decreased military spending, yes? Doesn't that make him one of those much-maligned RINOs? Or is simply being unpopular enough to make you a Republican now?

That's Gay: Ac**kalypse Now


"There's a lot of opposition to the military's call for repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. And all the naysayers are scared of the same thing - gay penis."

Glue-Sniffing Orphans Make Me Sad



I just saw this segment on Current TV, and it completely broke my heart. There are few things in this world that are sadder than starving glue-sniffing children orphaned by AIDS that bathe themselves in bloody water runoff from a slaughterhouse.

If there are sadder things, I have no interest in seeing it, thank you very much.

Dylan Ratigan Explains Snow to Glenn Beck

MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan calls out Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, and particularly Glenn Beck's assertion that the snow storm on the east coast proves global warming is a hoax. Complete with his own chalkboard!

GOP Proposes Destruction of Social Security and Medicare

The GOP is usually the perfect minority party. They don't have any solid ideas and "No" fits conveniently on a bumper sticker. Not being in power usually grants them the ability to hide their lack of ideas.

Unfortunately for the Republicans, Democrats pointed out that they haven't been providing their own ideas, and they finally did. The result? They propose a budget that absolutely decimates both Social Security and Medicare.

That's right. The same folks who five months ago were warning that Obama's plan to make Medicare more efficient would be the equivalent of "pulling the plug on Grandma," are not advocating for what equates to a complete abolition of the project.

And they're doing it with a straight face. At first, they tried avoiding talking about it, and instead focused on the budget they proposed last year. The budget that was universally panned for NOT INCLUDING ANY NUMBERS.

And it's all because liberals are secretly Nazis, all according to the National Review wacko Jonah Goldberg.

Daily Show Joins Maddow in Mocking Climate Change Deniers

The Daily Show followed Rachel Maddow's excellent piece yesterday in mocking the effort from FOX News and other Republican organizations to present the snow storm on the East Coast as if it is evidence that climate change is a hoax. Be warned of global darkening!

Snow Does Not Mean Climate Change Isn't Real



You know we live in a pretty amazing world when a snow storm is presented by a political party as serious evidence that global climate change is a hoax perpetrated on the American people by Al Gore and his profiteering.

In the way that only she can, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow explains the absurdity of the idea that "In politics right now, whatever we are looking at right this instant disproves everything else we know about the world."

A snow storm does not disprove global climate change just as:

  • One person winning the lottery does not disprove a poor economy
  • Rain in the desert does not mean deserts do not exist
  • A healthy person smoking a cigarette does not mean they're healthy
  • The existence of monkeys does not disprove evolution
  • The existence of tadpoles does not disprove frogs
Definitely suggested viewing!

GOPers On Hawaiian Vacation: Dems Are Out of Touch

The Daily Show last night had a very funny segment on last night that had John Oliver traveling to Hawaii to join Michael Steele for the winter meeting of the Republican National Committee. The clip has Republicans explaining precisely why those rich elitist liberals are so disconnected from the average American while simultaneously staying in a hotel that has its own private submarine.

Walking Backwards Flu Shot Lady is New and Improved!

Remember the pretty cheerleader who got the flu shot and then was only able to walk backwards or run after that? Here's the video of the original segment detailing her story:



Inside Edition recently did a follow up, and it seems like she has made a complete recovery! Except for that Australian accent, of course.



Thanks to @toddx for pointing this one out...
