* –

Oh, come on! I had to lead with that!

* – you’re gonna need to sign in to your YouTube account to see this because it has a maturity rating, but damn, it’s funny!

* – I am embarassed to admit that I did not know the NFL also sent all-star cheerleaders to the Pro Bowl.

* – just another reason to admire Wes Welker.

* – the return of Ferris Bueller?

* – more Hobbity goodness!

* – RIP, Juan Epstein.

* – RIP, Merlin.

* – RIP, Lost in Space robot.

* – here’s a nice little heartwarming story from my old stomping grounds.

* – are there really no such things as “death panels“?

* – boy, that Chris Christie is such a homophobic racist, huh?

* – less illegal immigration equals lower unemployment in Alabama.

Weird, huh?

* – well, here’s one of the dumbest mayors in the country!

* – I need to get back to reading GayPatriot on a more regular basis. Here’s some of his better posts lately:

#1

#3

* – ah, OWS – making friends and influencing people wherever they go.

* – now, you knew there’d be at least one nanny-state story in this edition, right?

* – or maybe more than one.

* – or maybe more than two.

* – or maybe more than three.

* – or maybe more than four.

* – another nice piece of work by SEAL Team Six.

* – now this is a really big bomb!

* – the old Soviet Union certainly had some interesting ideas for military technology, didn’t they?

* – I really don’t have a problem with trimming a half-trillion dollars from the military budget – if it’s done the right way.

* – another Obama-backed green energy company bites the dust.

* – straight from the source – a memo from Larry Summers, former Director of the United States National Economic Council under Obama (he left the position in November of 2010) – are some interesting looks into the minds of Obama and his economic policy makers.

* – look at this ridiculous list of unauthorized expenditures by our government.

* – I’m sure the few liberals who read this blog will immediately dismiss this because it comes from Fox News, but the numbers tell an interesting story.

* – even the Chinese eventually figured out capitalism was better than communism.

* – Obama vs Romney in the arena of charitable giving.

But Romney is the greedy capitalist pig? And apparently the only money that Obama wants to “spread around” is anobody’s but his own. Nice.

* – while we’re at it, let’s talk about Romney’s so incredibly wrong tax rate.

* why are we listening to Al Sharpton talking about fairness and taxation?

* – and now on to the State of the Union address…

Yes, I watched it. No, not by choice. Cookiemaker wanted to watch it, so I sat through it. As surprising as it may be to my four readers ( ), there were parts of it I actually agreed with:

“We should start with our tax code. Right now, companies get tax breaks for moving jobs and profits overseas. Meanwhile, companies that choose to stay in America get hit with one of the highest tax rates in the world. It makes no sense, and everyone knows it. (so, Mr. President, you’re actually admitting here that high taxes on corporation is a bad thing? Who are you and what did you do with the real Barack Obama?!)” Absolutely.

“Teachers matter. So instead of bashing them, or defending the status quo, let’s offer schools a deal. Give them the resources to keep good teachers on the job, and reward the best ones. In return, grant schools flexibility: To teach with creativity and passion; to stop teaching to the test; and to replace teachers who just aren’t helping kids learn.” Right on.

“Let’s never forget: Millions of Americans who work hard and play by the rules every day deserve a Government and a financial system that do the same. It’s time to apply the same rules from top to bottom: No bailouts, no handouts, and no copouts. An America built to last insists on responsibility from everybody (I started to feel like I was watching a real-life version of the movie Dave, because this didn’t sound like the BHO I was used to hearing).”

“There is no question that some regulations are outdated, unnecessary, or too costly (at this point I’m willing to bet even Michelle was wondering who the hell this guy was…).”

However, as you might imagine, I also either rolled my eyes or snorted with derision through most of it.

So, let’s fact-check it, shall we?

How about we fact-check it some more?

Here’s the Heritage Foudation’s take.

Here’s some more reaction from Heritage.

What about the real State of the Union (according to Glenn Beck)?

And now for the GOP response:

And Herman Cain’s Tea Party response:

* – so, we’ve all heard about Brewer v. Obama by now, right?

* – oh, btw, here’s the letter Brewer wrote to Obama.

* – I’m not a hockey fan, but I think I want an autographed Tim Thomas jersey.

* – RIP, Joe Paterno.

* – some of the greatest moments in Hollywood history were unscripted.

* – I remember some of these specials!

* – now you’ve done it, Los Angeles – you’ve gone and pissed off the porn industry.

* – now this makes me want to vote for Ron Paul!

* – no, no, no, no, NO!!! Health insurance should not cover birth control! Especially if the government is forcing it to.

“But, Falcon,” you protest, “how else will we avoid all those unwanted pregnancies?”

Stop wringing your hands. You want to use birth control? Go ahead – but pay for it with your own fucking money! Walk into a CVS and buy some Trojans, for fuck’s sake! They’re not that expensive! And if you’re that poor and that horny, learn some fucking self-control. Exercise some self-discipline and personal responsibility. Close your legs. Jerk off. Get a blow job. Take it up the ass. Anything. But for fuck’s sake stop relying on the government to save your lazy ass!

OY!

* – this is what happens when this administration tries to create jobs:

Questions?

* – but the Lightbringer has a “laser-like focus” on jobs.

Sure he does.

* – laserlike focus, my ass – he hasn’t passed a fucking budget in almost 1,000 days! Something he’s required to do by law, btw.

* – at least “The One” got SOPA right.

* – then again, maybe he doesn’t need SOPA anyway…

* – so, is B.O.’s attempt to streamline government a true effort at creating a smaller government or an attempt at a personal power grab?

* – “Two fascinating polls here, both of those are from Gallup. So, again, folks, only 2% hate the 1%.  Two percent, that’s right, yeah, only 2% hate the 1%.  That’s a great way of illustrating.  Only 2% hate the 1%.  The 99% do not hate the 1%.”

* – you heard that the Treasury Department was raiding pensions to pay for stuff until they get a debt ceiling hike, right?

* –

What the hell – he couldn’t be any worse than any of the other clowns that have held the position in the Obama administration.

* – jeez, Pat, how do you really feel?

* – I miss Margaret Thatcher…

* – so, we’re ok with letting dead people vote in our presidential primaries?

* – ah, Chris Christie… and the work he does…

* – ah, Bill Whittle…

* – can you say “nanny state?” I think you can…

* – very good! Now say it one more time…

* – nope, no indoctrination in school in this country. None at all.

* – do we really need the Department of Education?

* – “It’s a political problem. The problems are sociopolitical. The problems are unions. You plot the growth of the NEA [National Education Association] and the dropping of SAT scores, and they’re inversely proportional. The problems are unions in the schools. The problem is bureaucracy.” — Steve Jobs

* – the Tea Party Budget.

Yeah, I’m ok with a good-sized chunk of that.

* – contrary to most Republicans, I think we need to trim a bit of fat from the Pentagon, too. Stuff like this probably isn’t necessary right now.

* – hey, leave those Marines who pissed on the corpses of their enemies alone. They were just engaging in performance art.

* – and just to wrap things up…

* – over the past couple of weeks I’ve tried to catch up on my DVD watching. I’ve caught Green Lantern and Colombiana via Redbox. I love Redbox, especially when movies like the aforementioned two are “meh,” at best. Next up? Killer Elite, Atlas Shrugged, and maybe the Conan reboot.

Stay tuned…

* –

*snort!*

* –

More Hobbitty goodness!

“I will give you a name,” he said to it, “and I shall call you Sting.”

* – for those of you who are having a hard time figuring out what religion you should be:

* – boy, that Tim Tebow is such a right-wing, anti-choice, religious zealot, scumbag, isn’t he?

* – RIP, Sarah Burke.

* – for the last FUCKING time: freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion! Got it? You don’t like a sign in your school that mentions “the Heavenly Father?”

DON’T FUCKING LOOK AT IT!

* – oh, and if a private institution doesn’t want to perform your wedding, it shouldn’t have to! I don’t give a shit if you’re gay or not. Go find another fucking church! M’kay?

* – that being said, I think the Pope is an effing idiot for issuing this statement.

* – and now for this week’s nanny-state entry: we’re arresting Amish.

Seriously.

* – oh, and it’s illegal to collect rainwater (depending on where you live), too.

Seriously.

* – oh, and we’re fining oile refineries for not using fuel they don’t have.

Seriously.

* – give me a hand, will you? I’m having a hard time deciding…

What? I was asking which babydoll I should get for Cookiemaker! What did you think I was asking?

* – debunking the myths of homeschooling:

Yes, I’m seriously linking to something about homeschooling. What about it? My sister’s three kids are all homeschooled. My sister has her Master’s from the University of New Hampshire, and so does her husband, both in biochemistry. My sister was salutorian of her high school’s graduating class. Her husband now works for a biochemical company. Their daughter just won a presidential academic scholarship for college.

So put that in your pipe and smoke it!

* – been another heck of a year for shark encounters, huh?

* – thanx to the annual CES show in Vegas, it was also a heck of a period for Tech advances, huh? For example…

an app that lets you see the latest rover photos from Mars on your smartphone

new concept cars

superhero-like body armor

imagine your glasses having a heads-up-display built into the lenses

a cell phone you can wear as a watch

potential medical breakthroughs

* – look, I’m any but a prude, but even I have an issue with the idea of teaching sex ed to kindergarteners.

* – maybe I should be paying more attention to Adam Carolla…

* – one of the better articles I’ve ever read (hat tip to Kemtee for bringing it to my attention).

* – speaking of Kemtee and her brilliance, here she nails it yet again.

* – but we’re the ones who are dumb, huh? Yeah, here’s what I think of that:

* – and we’re losing out on this oil for what? For shit like this:

* – and our media does exactly what about it?

Who cares about the oil pipeline? Don’t pay attention to SOPA! Ignore that new breaking scandal about another Operation Fast and Furious. Didn’t you hear – Newt asked his second wife if they could have an open marriage! Where are your priorities, man!

* – speaking of SOPA, this is funny, yet sad and poignant at the same time:

* – what’s that? The Tea Party went after a Republican? Ohmigosh! If I’m a liberal, my world is all topsy-turvy now! Nothing makes sense any more!

* –

* – speaking of Debbie Wowherbrainisfullof Shit…

How’s that for delicious irony?

* – something tells me the OWS folks should be upset that Obama is going to give his convention speech at Bank of America Stadium.

They should be, mind you…

* – how about that Occupy movement, huh?

“This is what the Occupy encampment has become: a band of homeless protesters with no place to go. Amid accusations of drug use and sporadic theft, they’ve been sleeping on church pews for weeks, consuming at least $20,000 of the donations that Occupy Wall Street still has in its coffers. Their existence is being hotly debated at Occupy meetings: Are these people truly “Occupiers” who deserve free food and a roof over their heads?”

“We are all aware that the NYPD destroyed the tent homes of many Occupiers in just one night,” someone recently wrote on http://www.nycga.net/, Occupy’s General Assembly website for New York City. “However, where were they living before Zuccotti Park? Are we paying for housing for homeless people who may be relocated to City shelters?”

* –

* – so, now it’s “racially insensitive” to do anything on MLK Day excep to honor the late, great Dr. King?

* – and, of course, Michael “Jabba” Moore had to throw his two cents in about racism.

* – my father sent me this link. My Democrat father…

When a Democrat sends you something like that, you know shit is fucked up!

* – does anybody else see the hypocrisy in Lawrence O’Donnell complaining about Mitt Romney using a teleprompter?

* – so, after all that, do I really need to say that I’m anxiously awaiting 2016?

(you know, there’s just too much shit that I’ve let pile up over the last eight days. I’ll try finishing this up tomorrow…)

* – now where was I when Pamela Anderson was doing this?!

* – RIP, Bob Anderson.

* – now this is my kind of woman!

I can’t believe anybody ever seriously considered filing charges against her for her actions!

* – I wonder if this movie will ever wind up in a theater near me, or if I’ll have to wait for it on DVD?

* – sorry, Glenn Beck and Rick Santorum, but I’m gonna disagree with you on this one.

Actually, I’ll agree with one thing Beck said there - ”My solution is take government out of marriage entirely.”

Exactly! Marriage is about love. Period. It’s not about politics. It’s not about religion. It’s about love. Religion (or even politics, I suppose) might be part of the equation if that’s what the particpants in the marriage want, but ultimately it is about love.

* – I’m not entirely sure I’m on board with Dennis Miller here, either.

Where do I fall on the idea of a nuclear Iran? I don’t like the thought, but I also think we should be done with being the world’s policeman and I also think we don’t have the right to tell the rest of the world what they can and cannot do. I think I would basically make it very well-known throughout the world that while I might not stand in the way of Iran having nukes, if they ever decide to use one on America or it’s allies I will obliterate Iran with everything in the American arsenal.

* – I definitely don’t agree with Rick Perry here.

* – going back to Iran, what do you think the odds are of them ever returning this favor?

At least they were gracious enough to say “thank you.”

* – the tale of two Ron Paul supporters: good and bad.

* – so, I need a photo ID to buy drain cleaner in Illinois now, but not to vote there? HUH?!

* – what’s the definition of “poor” again?

* – remember the pepper-spraying of the OWS types at UC-Davis a while back? Here’s another take on the story:

Now, about 1:25 into that vidoe Bill Whittle claims the students were told to leave ahead of time and that if they didn’t, pepper-spray might be used to enforce their removal. I was unable to find any evidence supporting Whittle’s claim about the likelihood of pepper-spray being used, but I did find the letter announcing to the protesters that they had to leave here (I’m assuming that is the letter Whittle is referring to). A follow-up letter immediately after the event can be found here.

Earlier in the video Whittle talks about context. I’ve seen video on YouTube (and here and here, as well) of what transpired just prior to the actual spraying, and I think it’s quite likely that the protesters knew the pepper-spray was coming and chose to sit there and take it. If in fact that was the case, then my sympathy for those protesters is severely limited.

Do I think the pepper-spray was overkill? Yes. However, when it’s all said and done, in my opinion, it boils down to the basic concept that choices and actions have consequences. The protesters were told that if they didn’t disperse they were going to be pepper-sprayed. They chose to not disperse. They then suffered the consequences of their actions. There was no ambush here. The actions of the police were obvious and deliberate and the protesters were given reasonable opportunity to avoid getting sprayed. Given that, I think the protesters are as much to blame for getting sprayed as the police.

* – can we please disband the Department of Homeland Security ASAP?

I mean, c’mon, seriously?

No, seriously!

SERIOUSLY!!!

* – ah, the nanny-state…

* – am I possibly taking my man-crush for Chris Christie too far?

Nah!

* – and it would be just silly to even ask that question in regards to Bill Whittle…

* – c’mon, now, Bill, don’t be too hard on the president. After all…

* –

Now, even I balk at calling Obama a dictator. After all, there’s a possibility he’ll be voted out of office in about 10 months or so, and even if he gets re-elected the Twenty-second Amendment of the Constituion guarantees that we’ll be rid of him by January of 2017 at the latest.

Then again, given the lack of disregard he has for the Constitution based on the most recent round of appointments he’s made…

Godfatherpolitics’ take.

Glenn Beck’s take.

The Heritage Foundation’s takes, Pt. I and Pt. II and Pt. III.

* – RIP, the Bill of Rights?

* – now, wait a minute, I thought us “Obama-haters” were in the minority…

(quite frankly, not one of them blows me away. I wouldn’t kick any of them out of bed for eating crackers, but…)

* – these are some pretty sexy politicians (especially #’s 1 & 3).

* – YES! More Game of Thrones!

* – SEAL sniper = badass mofo.

* – this?

Is a perfect example of this:

Where would that woman – not to mention her three-moth-old child – be if she hadn’t had a shotgun and a pistol?

* – only Keith Olbermann could be such a dillbag that even as ratings-desperate a network as Current TV is getting tired of his act.

* – not that I need any help irritating liberals…

* – rules? Libs don’t need no stinking rules!

* – Congress? Obama don’t need no stinking Congress!

* – I feel SO much better now that the new NDAA has been signed, don’t you?

* – one of the better climate change articles I’ve read in a while.

* – one of the better liberal hypocrisy articles I’ve read in a while.

* – did you ever notice that Libs can’t build anything? All they can do is tear things down? In their constant quest to equalize, they want to do so only by bringing others down to their level, not by raising themselves up to somebody else’s. Somebody making “too much money”? Take away their pay. Don’t make yourself better and earn a raise so you can make as much as them. No, no – that would require actual, you know,  work. No, it’s much easier instead to just demand that that person gives his money to you. Some politician challenging Obama? Don’t compete by pointing out all the good Obama and his cronies have done – rip the upstart to shreds instead. Don’t like a policy that doesn’t agree with your beliefs? Don’t calmly, rationally, logically explain why your way is better – just brand the opposing philosophy as racist or homophobic or misogynist or reeking of religious bigotry or – better yet – all of the above!

Just my pair of pennies.

* – this would be the kind of abortion I have a problem with.

* – can we just skip ahead to 2016?

* – whoa! Where the hell did Rick Santorum come from?!

* – wow, I wish I could retire for a day and pick up almost half a mil…

* – don’t let me (or anybody else) stand in your way, Nancy!

* – say, where did all of Herman Cain’s accusers go? Seems like ever since he left the presidential race they’ve disappeared. Huh! Isn’t that weird? Now, I’ve only been a woman once in my life (and I was young and drunk and in love – hat tip to Dennis Miller ), so I can’t really speak for the entire gender, but I would think that if somebody had sexually harassed me, I wouldn’t walk away from prosecuting them for their crime against me only after humiliating them into dropping their aspirations to the presidency. I’d be looking to prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

But maybe that’s just me.

Unless, of course, my accusations against them were totally bogus in the first place.

Wait…

Nah…

* – scandals? What scandals?

* –

* – yeah, I’m pretty good with these ideas to cut the budget.

* – remind me to go have coffee at Java Joe’s in Des Moines, IA, sometime.

* – this may be the best video I’ve seen of an “Occupier” yet:

That is just freaking AWESOME!!! I may just have to make that my Facebook avatar.

Courtesy of my friend Tonks.

* – while the jury may still be out on whether or not New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez is really good at football, he certainly is a player!

* – I hope I’m in half as good physical condition as this when I’m 65!

* – oh, you had best believe I am all over this contest!

Shit, let’s be honest, I’ve never been close to that kind of physical condition EVER!

* – wait, cold fusion is real? I thought it was just a plot device for The Saint.

* – so Alec Baldwin isn’t “horny enough” to run for NYC mayor.

I feel better for NYC already.

* – buh-bye, Ben. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!

* – can’t get enough Chris Christie goodness…

* – that being said, Chris, if you’re going to rule out running for president, you should not be thinking about running for vice-president.

* – a cupcake was considered a legitimate terrorist threat? Seriously?

Can we disband the TSA and the Department of Homeland Security, please? Like, now?

* – yup, that Obamacare sure is a kick-ass piece of legislation, isn’t it?

Just ask a doctor.

Or a business owner.

* – raise the debt limit? Sure, why not? What’s another $1.2 trillion, right?

* – real simple question folks: are you better off now than you were when Obama took office?

* – the fourth-best president ever? How about the most arrogant?

* – yes, I support stricter voter ID laws.

* – wait, I thought the OWS movement was all about demonizing “Big Banking”?

Then why did Occupy Oakland open up an account with Wells Fargo to deposit $20,000?

Hypocrite much?

* – “Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for the right to protest, but the expression of that  right needs to be carried out in a legal fashion and those involved need to be  responsible for their actions.  That’s holding to the constitutional right  to peaceably protest.” – godfatherpolitics, regarding Occupy LA potentially being sued by the city for damages and expenses and the movement’s outrage over the potential lawsuit.

Well said, sir, well said.

* - how about a last batch of seasonally-oriented political cartoons?

* – Merry Christmas, libs!

* – war on Christmas? What war on Christmas?

Less than one year!!!

Yes, Little Man and I will be fighting over these when they get released.

* – oh, yeah, there’s a new Batman film comng out soon, too…

* – yes, they are making an Expendables 2:

(and yes, I will watch it )

* – it just ain’t Christmas without Larry the Cable Guy…

* – now, you know I love my Falcons, but not to the point where I can let one of them being an a-hole slide.

Hey, Dunta? Just shut up and play football. Try earning that fat contract we gave you a couple of years ago, huh?

* – oh, btw, don’t even ask me how my fantasy team did this season (grrr…)

* – Kim Jong Il is dead.

Sayonara, motherfucker. I hope you and Osama bin Laden are forced to butt-fuck each other – sans lube – for the rest of eternity.

Not that I felt strongly about those guys or anything…

* – well, if not the Taliban, then who, Joe?

(facepalm!)

* – I still really have my doubts about this new National Defense Authorization Act.

* – maybe Ron Paul and I aren’t quite so far apart on foriegn policy as I thought…

* – sorry, Sarah, but – as much as I like you – it is too late for you.

* – if Obama’s our 4th-best president, then we are good and truly fucked!

* – so, just what is the deal with this payroll tax debate, anyway?

* – here’s a couple of nice defenses of free market capitalism by Ryan Messmore and Jeb Bush.

* – hey, how come none of these OWS types are occupying Congress?

* – nice to see fewer and fewer Americans are buying into this class warfare crap.

* – hmmm… Fewer illegal aliens = lower unemployment. Weird…

* –

* – how about some more of the wonder that is Bill Whittle:

* – thank you, Attorney General Holder, for reaffirming my faith in that when all else fails your side will always resort to playing the race card.

* – by that logic, there are now at least 91 racists in Congress.

* –

Seasonally appropriate, no?

* – Oh, I almost forgot…

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

What? There’s a Santa hat and a wrapped Christmas present right there! And a decorated Christmas tree in the background! What were YOU looking at?

Perv!

* – Ok, I know finals are stressful and all (remember, I have both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s, so I’ve been there), but, seriously?:

Girlfriend, really – either cut back on the Starbucks, or at least go decaf, ok?

* – yes, they really are going to make a sequel to Top Gun.

* – maybe I need to go back to watching SNL.

* – memo to Senator Ted Lieu (D. – CA.): Lowe’s has the right to deicide how to spend their advertising dollars however they see fit, whether you like it or not. As much as you may wish it did, the federal government does NOT have the right to tell Lowe’s – or any other private business – how to do business via legislation.

Understood?

Good.

Now kindly go fuck off until you get voted out of office.

* – ok, this is more than a little scary to me on a very personal level.

I used to work in that mall. I used to work in that Kay’s Jewelers. I have friends who still work in that mall and that Kay’s Jewelers.

* – they better not!

* – classy, Libs, real classy.

I still don’t get this hatred of Tebow. It’s not like he’s the first pro athlete to ever thank God or Jesus for his success during the interview. WTF?

* – hell (pardon the pun ), even Jews and Muslims are defending Tebow.

* – even more class (thought at least MSNBC had the decency to apologize later).

* – my opinion of Adam Carolla is still growing…

* – I think there’s some new music out there I need to check out…

* – you wanna know why higher education costs so much nowadays? Well, at least one reason has to be shit like this.

AYFKM?!

* – OMG!

And the Left has the gall to call us fearmongers?!

* – have you heard about the Defense Authorization Act of 2012?

Scary shit.

And you Bush-haters thought the Patriot Act and Gitmo was bad?

* – I’m going to have to disagree with Allen West about the DAA.

* – more Climategate 2.0 goodness.

* – should conservatives be for Obamacare?

* -

* – more brilliance from DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schulz.

Here are the facts: when Obama took office in January of ’09 unemployment was at 7.8%. He told us if the stimulus plan was passed unemployment would not exceed 8%. Unemployment peaked at 10.1% in October of ’09. Unemployment stayed well above 9% for all of 2010. It briefly dropped barely below 9% for February and March of 2011. It dropped to 8.6% in November of 2001, its lowest rate since March of ’09.

But this perpetuator of the dumb blonde stereotype believes that our “narrative” just doesn’t work anymore? Really?

* – as hard as it may be to believe, I think Harry Reid might even be more stupid.

* – and after this bit I think the president is even more stupid than Harry.

* – slick, B.O., real slick (about 55 seconds in):

* – I am so sick and tired of this Liberal propensity for trying to redefine clearly understood words on the fly, just to suit their needs. Remember Bill Clinton and “It depends what the definition of ‘is’ is”? I remember having a conversation with someone about Glenn Beck and saying to them, “So, you think he’s a liar?” Their response? “Well, define what you mean by ‘liar.’”

Huh?

Now you get this shit from Eric Holder.

Fucking kill me.

* – why did they even ask Obama this question?

They knew the answer wasn’t going to be “yes,” so why bother? If you already know the answer to the question, don’t bother asking it.

* – yes, Mr. President, yes, you did.

* – you’ll forgive me if I view the effort to recall Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker with more than a little scepticism.

* – hey, Al Sharpton – before you tell me or anybody else that we should pay more in taxes, how about you pay your own, huh?

* – if OWS is going to protest anything, they should be protesting shit like this.

Strangely enough, though, I don’t hear them complaining about Nancy Pelosi, do you?

* – Charlotte, NC is the site of the Democratic National Convention next summer. So what’s one of the things that city is doing in preparation?

Getting ready to pass a bill that would essentially ban an OWS movement from coming anywhere near the convention.

Interesting…

* – ah, the peace, joy, and love that comes with an OWS protest.

* – “Occupiers” could learn a lot from this woman.

* – how seasonally appropriate:

* – ah, yes – the nanny-state at Christmastime.

* – oh, goody – more Christmas nanny-statism!

I can’t believe somebody actually made that dress, much less wore it…

*snort!*

Not so much humorous, but it is seasonal. Again, not trying to offend anbody, just sayin’…

* – some funny LotR pics…

* – I don’t think that was in the script of that particular episode of Mythbusters…

* – RIP, Harry Morgan.

* – Fort Hood was “workplace violence“?! You’re joking, right? (facepalm!)

* – what if Tim Tebow were a Muslim?

* – I’ve mentioned that I love Chris Christie, haven’t I?

“Why the hell did I call on you?”

* – can’t forget Andrew Klavan…

* – and, of course, the suite wouldn’t be complete with out Bill Whittle:

* -

I just got done reading “The FairTax Book” by Neal Boortz and John Linder. Between the material in that book and things like the image above, put me in the FairTax column!

* – this sheds some interesting light n the idea of “income inequality”, as well.

* – like I needed any more proof that Sheila Jackson Lee is just plain batshit crazy…

* – oh, btw, remember all those “patriotic millionaires” who thought they should be taxed more, who thought they should contribute more to help solve the nation’s problems? Remember them?:

Uh-huh. Yeah. Right.

Hypocritical pricks. They don’t want to be taxed more. They don’t want to help. They just want to look good and say the right things, but when put to the test they fold like a bad poker hand.

DUMBASS!

Now that is just fucking AWESOME! Where are your precious “99%” principles now, sweetheart? Money talks, huh?

Remember.
