PARTY!!!!
That poor 2 year old…
…oh boy, how about some sanity….look, obviously our system of government is a failure, and we need to try something else. Let’s make Obama “king for life” and hang every elected Senator and Representative we can get our hands on! The last straw was CLEARLY just a few months ago when something happened…I’ll let others decide what that “something” was, but I think someone should be detaining Octo-mom, Perez Hilton and Terri Shiavo (if she’s not alive then grab Eric the Midget instead) until we get everything sorted out.

Grown Locally
This is a great idea. Having the government support local farming rather than the big producers means higher quality, chemical-free food, and an increase in the amount of money spent within peoples’ communities. Many policies can be implemented that would have a similar effect, with buying power grown organically through jobs and by creating incentives for people to spend more of their money locally.
It is true that the government would be ‘in the business of’ picking winners and losers. You or I could actually be in the running for once. (and I have for you a completely unrelated video – it starts out with a black tv anchor trying to act like a Gumbel)
Now compare the coherence of that interview to this one

You Fucking Crybaby Suckers
You volunteered for the military, so eat shit and be thankful for it! This guy is arguing that since a teenager volunteered for the Army, it means they really want to be a soldier for the rest of their life…right…no dead-enders here, just “professional soldiers”…it doesn’t get any more delusional than this:

The Reverend Wright Gambit
It’s hard to get around the fact that this is an example of Obama playing on the stupidity of the media to get Hillary off of the television screen. It is a fact that by having him up in front of microphones, the utility of his most famous You Tube clip as a weapon for Hillary and the right becomes diminished. Clearly it is time for everyone to talk about Reverend Wright.
Airtime is oxygen to a campaign.

Randi Rhodes
I guess you can’t have a radio show and be controversial at the same time…she should sue Air America. To me it looks like she’s doing an appearance somewhere. So if her contract doesn’t stipulate what she can and cannot do when she’s not on the air…eh, I don’t even care really, I just wanted to post this video because as much as I’d like to ignore this election for the next couple of months, Hillary’s campaign makes me feel like Randi in this clip. It’ll probably be pulled shortly, but while it lasts:

‘Cotton-pickin’
Going off on a storm trooper
There’s this idiot over at Control Congress named bb who back in November agreed to wager on which party would win in 2008. I’ve been working hard lately, so the blog world is pretty much dead to me. Never forgetting about an opportunity to take money from a fool, I check back in after a long hiatus to remind everyone…and being the little baby that he is, of course he’s backing out. A couple of comments were posted, and then tonight I think about ten pounds of stress was unloaded in the span of under 200 words…here’s a taste:
bb, you thought you knew something about the world, and like most of the ideas you and other right-wingers push in lockstep year after year, when it’s time to act, you either:
A) Go through with it and end up looking foolish
or
B) Back out and go off to talk some more shit about something else you know nothing about
The Iraq war is a fine example of right-wingers putting their money where their mouth is, and look how that turned out. At least you can recognize the fact that you’re not smart enough to predict how things are going to turn out before you push in all of your chips…that said, knowing the right-wing mentality, no amount of failure and disaster will ever convince you of the fact that your thoughts and ideas are wrong.
You meddle in areas of seriousness, where adults are discussing important things, and slip in a dick joke (read: “* adverb adjective Liberal *â€) every now and then.
Your bullshit is of no consequence to me – besides the scientific thrill of conducting an experiment to see precisely how full of it you actually are – so you can wipe your ass with that greenback in my honor and then stick it in the collection plate for all I care. I didn’t mean for you to mistake my engaging you in a wager as anything more than the opportunity to make some money…sincerely, I’d rather cut off my own feet than toss treats at your stupid repetitive yap from now until November.
To prevent this retard from somehow finding his way over here, I’ll just point you to ‘Control Congress’ on my blogroll. Rest assured, he’s by far the dumbest you’ll find over there. Everyone else is great, and most of them have a healthy sense of humor.

Mississippi mud
This is a good one…
(Lead Story – NYTimes Sunday Business Section – By NELSON D. SCHWARTZ) …Linking Mr. Scruggs, Mr. Patterson and other figures in the case is an obscure former college football star, farmer and politically well-connected adviser to Mr. Scruggs named Presley L. Blake (Google Search). At the hearing on Tuesday, prosecutors described Mr. Blake as a key go-between in an elaborate bribery plot, and they are now examining his ties to Mr. Scruggs. No charges have been brought against Mr. Blake.The story of Mr. Blake, who has received at least $10 million from Mr. Scruggs, threatens to reveal just how Mr. Scruggs worked the political back rooms of Mississippi — and Washington — to win a huge settlement with cigarette makers that garnered him approximately $1 billion in fees as well as a role in “The Insider,†the 1999 movie about the battle with Big Tobacco. Mr. Scruggs’s connections have never been a secret: his brother-in-law is former Senator Trent Lott, Republican of Mississippi. But the expansion of the investigation is especially significant because for Mr. Scruggs, law and politics have been closely intertwined…
