Another curious belief of the religious right!

They believe that some god named Jehovah promised the land of Israel to the Hebrews after a fellow named Moses teamed up with a fiery bush and pulled a fast one on the Pharaoh and defeated the mighty Egyptian nation with frogs, locusts and angles of death.

Incredible, isn't it?

So does that make the 911 truthers more credible, or less credible, to the authors?

Keep in mind that much of our foreign policy is based on that hogwash.

I CALL BS!

Guilt by association - "Crazy" Christians compared to "Crazy" Conspiracy theorists - next time go all the way and use Nazis, pedophiles or IRS agents, MORON!

The official 911 story is a "Conspiracy" theory. If you believe that one, I see no reason you shouldn't believe in the resurrection and the rapture either. In the land of believers, ye shall find more commonalities there than where you have scribbled.

Hallelujah brother!.

Rebroadcasting BS is easier than making it up yourself.

@Another Lurker

Television really has devolved to the point of not being that watchable anymore.

Keep in mind that these television people are the people who sold us these last two wars, happy pills, torture, the phony elections and the upcoming war against Iran.

Entertainment from these dirtbags?

Psychopaths

do not get satire, parody or sarcasm.

The humor is less than brilliant but anyone without a flat affect should be able to parse it.

Certainly a lot less racist than what I've read here done in all seriousness and without any clue and without a tongue in the cheek.

Stop watching crap

I stopped watching the evening news and the morning news and watching psychos, neurotics, stupid people, and yuppies on television for entertainment just doesn't cut it anymore.

The business isn't about entertainment. It is about making you feel like you need to buy something you don't need to feel better after watching crap that makes you feel bad.

"What did you think of "American Idol" on Wednesday?"

That isn't thinking, hat isn't even living and that certainly isn't music, it is shallow worthless heartless product.

The two "Two Words" posts were diagnostic tests.

People with a certain condition cannot abide certain types of humor especially when directed towards them. The DSM markers are woefully inadequate and are skewed so as not to diagnose those who are making the diagnosis.

That is the bad news, especially since NAMI doesn't even want any part of that diagnosis.

The good news is that most of it is pharmacologically induced, rather than an organic malfunction or the result of abuse, torture or hard core training and or programming.

Yip Yip! Arf arF!

Tom Friedman makes Tim Russert almost look like a human being.

And Tim Russert is a warmongering corporate lapdog.

Cold war? So he is going with Obama and ZB, well, it isn't Iran, it is Russia and China with Iran as the pawn.

Expect higher taxes to pay for all those weapons we are going to need to defend ourselves against our newfound enemies.

DUH!

People who shop at Walmart deserve to get ripped off.

Most are not smart enough to realize when they have been ripped off.

HEY?!

This manure has no stink. That is how stale this is.

Journalsim -it looks real, until you read some of it.

@ red_gti2000

So what part of waging war against your own citizens do you approve of?

So what part of waging war against innocent and unarmed civilians young and old do you approve of?

So what part of torture do you approve of?

You don't have to have Wright to know when something is Wrong.

@ brightstar65

You are correct. Both parties are criminal and out to lie to us and screw us over. we have a choice between three corporate shills who are determined to lead us into another war.

The faces don't matter. The personalities don't matter. It is all bullshit and hype to distract us from the scam. They are robbing us blind and convincing us that it is our fault, or maybe the Iranians or Hugo Chavez.

All these root root for our team and curse and damn the other team are just playing out scripts they get from the MSM and they are just actors in the MSM drama which is all BS just to sell us stuff we don't need and a war we cannot afford. These people get thoughts from people like Rush Limbaugh or some phony Liberal equivalent and are as vacant as a stepford wife or pod person

Corporate America makes money off the war. It is subcontracted everywhere. It is us against them and we don't have a chance. At least we should stop following their scripts and stop buying their stuff.

We have been conned by both sides which are really just one side and that side is against all of us. The headline to this article is them pissing on our legs. These are uber trolls and they will rewrite history for a buck and they have no ethics, shame or morality.

Thanks Joan!

They are selling war and they are counting on us buying war and every voter will give them what they want. They can't lose.

These dirtbags will be writing how Bush wasn't such a bad guy in ten years, count on it.
