Is that the paper owned by the Moonies?

Or is that the New York Post...

I get the 2 confused. (Easy to remember they are fakes by noting the "times" and "post" are used after the wrong cities).

Does anyone read these rags?

Don't forget reparations for slavery!

If you're a right wingnut talk show host and you could only fill half your show blathering on about the fairness doctrine, you could fill the other with that other non-threat.... reparations for slavery! (or perhaps the NAFTA superhighway)

Life is too short!

...to read a 1000 page capitalist fairy tale. (Also, read Fountainhead; thought it was just a shitty novel. Didn't know it was deeply philosophical at the time).

Pro Arab

Now what does that mean? What's the opposite....anti-arab?

Jack Welch is a big fat...

Motherfucking asshole. (Wish I could think of something more clever to say... just too pissed off).

Let's drop AK and TX as states.

And go back to that 48 star flag. Forever.

Has Lou Dobbs jumped the shark?

Has he finally made such a fool of himself that he loses any remaining credibility?

Sadly, no. He's a professional shark-jumper who can make any outlandish claim and his viewers stay loyal. (Example, remember the leprosy scare?)

Repblicans...

Are fucked. There, I got that off my chest.

New Yorker softballs Savage

So disappointing, the mag does a total praise job on wiener-Savage. Poorly describes the racism, xenophobia, misogyny, militarism, etc etc this dreadful man puts out. Worst of the worst. Tempted to cancel subscription.

So the liars win.

Putting out demonstrably false statements works. Our media covers the controversy, and the people buy the absurdities.

What next? Nazi-fascist comparisons? (oh yeah)...

He's Boner

Regardless of how he spells it or lies about the pronunciation.

We DO elect first ladies

in exactly the same way we elect a vice president. It's a ticket... take it or leave it. I chose to take it. And like the VP, she can attract or repel votes. I'm sure some politicians are calculating in choice of spouse.

@rlafoot, Atlas shrugged? no way

I suffered through the The Fountainhead. What a piece of shit! And you ask us to read an even longer book book by the same execrable author? Aint gonna happen.

The face of rotted Washington

Evan Bayh demands more debt-financed war - fought by others - while boasting that he's a stern "deficit hawk."

Yes, it's Obama's war now

An uninspiring speech sells a dubious policy, but progressives who feel betrayed have only themselves to blame
