Rep. Joe Walsh Runs Away

Dec 8th, 2011

Earlier this week, large numbers of citizens from around the country descended on state houses and the nation's capital to demand greater accountability from their representatives and a stronger focus on the interests of the middle class. Rep. Joe Walsh (yeah, that guy) had given members of Stand Up! Chicago his assurances that he was going to meet with them at 3pm that day to answer questions and address their concerns. It did not happen. Roughly 20 minutes later, he was spotted by their members sneaking out, very quickly, down a side staircase. The only thing the following video doesn't have is the Benny Hill theme to punctuate its absurdity.

Sabres Rattle

May 2nd, 2011

The Taliban responds predictably to news of Osama Bin Laden's death. From Agence France-Presse via RawStory:

"PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AFP) – Pakistan's main Taliban faction on Monday threatened to attack Pakistan and the United States after the US confirmed that Osama bin Laden had been killed near the Pakistani capital.

"If he has been martyred, we will avenge his death and launch attacks against American and Pakistani governments and their security forces," spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan told AFP by telephone from an undisclosed location.

"These people are in fact the enemies of Islam," he added.

The Taliban spokesman said the militia had not itself managed to confirm bin Laden's death, which was announced by US President Barack Obama.

"If he has become a martyr, it is a great victory for us because martyrdom is the aim of all of us."


Let us all be clear. Bin Laden died cowering behind one of his sons and a woman he used as a human shield. This was no act of self sacrifice. This had no bravery. This is an important distinction.

For some time there have been reports and rumors that Osama Bin Laden was not living in the rugged frontier that divides Afghanistan and Pakistan. Just how luxuriant his compound and hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan actually was now becomes clear.
