OBAMA TO AMERICA: FUCK YOU AND YOUR RIGHTS
Obama breaks his promises:

Atrios Speak, You Listen
Super Shitpile:
For over a year the one point that I and others have been trying make is that the polite fiction that masters of the universe of Wall Street and their defenders in the media and Congress have been trying maintain, that this is liquidity crisis not an insolvency crisis, is utter horseshit. They made [...]
While Millions Starve, Philadelphia Wallows in Gluttony
This normally isn’t the kind of thing I pay attention to but given the global calamity, the already disgusting Wing Bowl is even more nauseating than usual.
Media coverage has grown to the point where every one of the major Philadelphia television stations has covered the event. The ABC, CBS and Fox affiliates all aired live [...]
Deep Thought
ACLU Lays off 10% of Workforce:
Sources familiar with the ACLU’s situation say that the two major foundations were the JEHT and Picower Foundations, which were wiped out by Madoff.

Bush EPA Guts Mountaintop Removal Rule
Speaking of miners and mining abuses, via Pine View farm, the Bush Administration’s EPA (an oxymoron if there ever was one) has decided to allow coal companies to bury streams under the rocks leftover from mining:

What is it with Republicans and perversion? You have Mark “Page me!” Foley, Patrick “What murderous Republican homosexual love triangle/escort service?” McHenry, Larry “Wide Stance” Craig, Charlie “Thank heaven I don’t have to get married now” Crist, David “Diapers” Vitter, and a host of others too long to list here.
Watch until the end, when [...]
Boycott the Birds
A blast from the recent past:
AMOUNT OF money the city will save by shutting 11 libraries: $8 million.
Amount of money the Eagles have owed the city for years: $8 million.
It’s a tie!
Actually, it’s more than a tie. It’s an outrage. Back in 1985, when the Eagles were struggling financially - yes, back in the olden [...]
Everybody Poops
Sorry for the extended absence, everyone. Sam is visiting and we’ve been busy. You know that book Everyone Poops? Well, if you’d been at my house for the past three days, you’d think the book should be titled Everybody Poops and Pukes and Has Agonizing Gas Pains and Has Diarrhea.
Sam took the hit [...]
Over the Line
I think I just crossed a line. Ah, well fuck it. So to speak.

You should have known you’d be alone
Do don’t beg for sympathy
Just cry now lonesome heart
But don’t cry to me
—Jimmy Martin, “Don’t Cry To Me”
The democrats are intent on playing the sucker again. As always, Harry Reid’s cowardice is manifest: there is no fight [...]
