The Truth Finally Gets Its Pants On...

Jan 31st, 2013

Mark Twain was right...

As is always, depressingly the case, it took the truth a lot longer to get its pants on before a lie went around the world...


NO, Obama is NOT tearing down Reagan's "childhood home" to "put up a parking lot."

Quote Of The Day

May 23rd, 2012

"The fear of not being able to buy guns has led to buying so many guns that now we can’t buy any guns... just like we feared."

How Drudge Operates

April 17th, 2012

Matt Drudge is an ass. Here's a screencap showing today's alarmist edition of his so-called "Report." Scary stuff. Very scary!

Yeah? Well? It's also some serious bullshit. 

The story that inspired this is an actual report on "almost 1,800 people" who are, for the most part, wealthy enough to live off of domestic investments abroad.


1,800 people.

Out of well over 300 million.

So, what's the real story? It's overwhelmingly one of avaricious greed:
"The decision by the IRS to publish the names is referred to by lawyers as "name and shame." That's because those who renounce are seen as willing to give up their citizenship primarily for financial reasons.
There's also an "exit tax" for the very rich who choose to leave. During the last 25 years, a number of millionaires and billionaires have renounced their citizenship. Among them: Ted Arison, the late founder of Carnival Cruises, and Michael Dingman, a former Ford Motor Co. director."
You read that right. 1,800 (mostly) rich people are vexed that the most powerful nation in the world thinks they should pony up for continued access to the toughest consulates and protection from the most heavily armed embassies on Earth while they make a plaything of exploitable economies and simultaneously maintain substantial holdings at home.

In other Drudge propaganda today, an ongoing, anti-terrorism urban-readiness exercise was framed this way...

Blackhawk choppers... over Chicago

"Black helicopters"

In Obama's hometown.

Get it?

Fox News Funnies

Dec 11th, 2011

So. This happened. A recent Fox News poll on the 2012 field showing the current President to be the powerhouse that he actually is was greeted by Gretchen Carlson practically pulling her hair out. The fact that she didn't breathlessly quote The Simpsons' Mrs. Lovejoy outright ("think of the children") is the only surprise.

GOP Sabotaging America, Ctd...

July 26th, 2011

You can call Trump a clown all you want. But he's a dangerous clown. Also, he has openly iterated what I think a lot of the "stop-Obama-at-all-costs" crowd is actually thinking. They are more than willing to destroy America in order to "save" it.

From McClatchy:

"Donald Trump has some advice for the Republican Party. The New York real estate tycoon went on "Fox & Friends" Monday morning and told the hosts that if the GOP wants to ensure that President Barack Obama isn't re-elected, all it has to do is not make any deals with Democrats and default on Aug. 2.

Trump seems to think that using the country's sparkling AAA credit rating as a sacrificial lamb and letting the nation default would damage Obama, who has been willing to put everything including entitlements on the table, more than it would hurt Republicans, who have refused to raise revenues on the richest Americans and companies during the debt ceiling negotiations.

"When it comes time to default, they're not going to remember any of the Republicans' names. They are going to remember in history books one name, and that's Obama," Trump said.

The billionaire doesn't seem at all concerned about the damage such an unprecedented U.S. default could do to Wall Street and other financial markets. Trump's casual approach is not shared by financial experts.

Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington, said that if Congress can't get it together, the results could be tragic as banks would slow down on lending and investors might pull their money out of the market.

"If we got to a crush point where we couldn't come to a deal, that would wipe out the financial sector," Baker said."
