  1. Ugh. Haven't we seen enough of this faith-based/belief approach? Real problems require clear eyed assessments and concrete solutions, not heavier doses of American exceptionalism and back-to-Leave It To Beaver social policy. As if the global rise in extremism, mass extinctions, resource depletion, crumbling institutions, rising global inequalities, etc. are going to be solved by the likes of Sarah Palin blaring God Bless America from the tour bus speakers. Yeah, you're heavy on the symbolism, steeped in the mythology, cloaked in the rhetoric; where the fuck are your ideas about how to deal with anything? All we've been hearing from the Right for a year now is "anything but Obama" and the retreading of the same horseshit policy prescriptions that got us into the mess in the first place (tax-cuts, deregulation, pandering to corporations). The actual policies at the heart of the "Reagan Revolution" are completely exhausted, failed. All we're left with is the Frankenstein's monster born of Trent Lott's hair and Karl Rove's shit-slinging politiks. The planet is not a meaningless late-season game where the 30 games under .500 team savors playing spoiler. We've got some serious problems to deal with and we've got half the country turning to Michelle Bachmann for political leadership! Pull your head out of your ass Fairweather and have a seat at the adult's table.

    Anybody made glogg or gluhwein before? Got a recipe?
  3. As someone who's done a fair bit of editing in an academic context, I can tell you this statement would be much stronger if you began it with "methinks".
  4. you don't think she'd be spending us in oblivion as well? What makes you think it has anything to do with spending, of all things? He supported Bush!
  5. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Korzybski Or maybe the students had "eaten" these words before they got dosed by this jackass:
  6. Yeah, if you live on San Juan Island: [video:youtube]
  7. Black Diamond Firstlight? No, wait, you said "cheap".
  8. Live Free and Die Faster.
  9. I love it when people stumble across the difference between "exchange value" and "use value" like they just made it up. Good stuff.
  10. "You are loser!! Get out of my way!!!"
  11. You're definitely Walmart material. GO FOR IT!!!
  12. You need to stand back and ask yourself, "What tent would Tom Vu buy?". The answer is clear.
  13. "But freedom tastes good, liberty tastes good..."
  14. Moose-bumps.
  15. Yeah, we've seen your freedumb boot before. It always seems to be on the losing end.
  16. Not all political parties are lucky enough to have a 9/11 happen on their watch.
  17. Dunno, next to these losers?
  18. Oh, and thanks blue-dick Democrats and other assorted spine-less shits for not sacking up and ramming single-payer down the throats of the "opposition". The only way to make reform work and insure a political majority in coming years was to get this right. But no. Peddling your pandering asses to the corporate lobbyists and Cletus, the one-toothed, white supremacist, teabagging cretin has insured your demise. History has shown the only way forward is to shove progress down their throats and let the chips fall where they may. Good riddance and bring on the redneck apocalypse!!!
  19. Thanks, profiteering pharmaceutical and insurance companies and dipshit conservative fucktards that blindly follow every press release, "think"-tank paper, and "info"mercial you produce!

  21. America's true civic religion will be celebrating its version of the creation story coming up on Black Friday. The congregants and the church officials are nervous, tithes are down, the flock's faith shaken and their wallets already shaken down. Above all, no amount of stock-market Febreeze can seem to cover the smell of a dead animal emanating from the sacristy.
  22. Republicans...
  23. YEAH, NO SHIT!!! IN YO FACE, BITCH!! FUCK HULK HOGAN!!! WHOOOOOO-YAHUUH!!
