It is bizarrely interesting and a quick look into the mind of a pirate. I found myself going more aggressive as I played it just to rack up a quick ransom so I wouldn’t get either a mutiny or a military raid.

Fear of Healthcare or Fear of Black People? Introducing the ‘Healthers’
“I think we should come up with a new term for the Healthcare nuts – the ‘Healthers’ in homage to the ‘Birthers’. They are equally as crazy, equally wrong, and at the end of the day, equally racist.”
– Blogger Ben Cohen on the crazy bastards opposing health care reform
A couple of Olbermann gems regarding both the assholes disrupting democracy…and the spineless shitheels who are buckling under to racist dittohead mobs and lobbyist bribes:
Bob Cesca comments on the raving townhall meeting lunatics mentioned above.
Most of these tools are following a corporate lobbyist-written script. More on that here.
At DailyKos, a tongue-in-cheek “surrender” to certain GOP lunatic points, the ones that don’t exist except in their vacant echo chamber skulls.
Check out Howard Dean in this interview on Talk of the Nation.
CNN’s Rick Sanchez is a reckless loon, but he’s OUR reckless loon. Check this out:
Hell, you want to know how much in Bizarro World these “healthers” are? Some asshat “supposedly attacked” at a health care mob rally has a online contribution site to cover his health care costs as he doesn’t have health insurance.
Countdown: ‘Birther’ brigade crumbles
Because calling out racists is necessary in this country.
Yes, they still exist no matter what FAUXNews says.
Cheney’s Plans for a Military Coup–By Scott Horton (Harper’s Magazine)
Why isn’t the entire Bush Administration in prison right now?
That’s my reaction after reading this. In no way, shape, or form should the GOP be allowed to even pretend they are patriotic. At all. Ever.
Daily Kos: The Cost of Sotomayor Opposition
According to this poll, GOP support among Latinos is down to 3%, an 11 percent drop from before they went racial on Sonia Sotomayor.
Seeing as they pretty much had a lock on the racist white voters, what could this possibly have gained them? Ideological purity? Racial purity?
Or is just the party being intellectual honest? Face it, they hate Obama because he’s black. They hate health care because, wait, they don’t mind Medicare so that’s not a real issue. It must be because the President is black.
They hate closing Guantanamo because apparently they love torturing brown people. Or maybe just Muslims. You know, unless someone has a better logical reason to provide. Which, given the eight years available to provide such an answer, I doubt there is another one.
They hated Sotomayor because she’s a radical. Wait, no she isn’t. If anything, she’s conservative. So it must be because she’s brown. And a woman.
No, I think I see where this all goes and it’s a dark place. And I really, sincerely hope America wants no part of it.
Seeger Still Strumming After Hard Knocks – CBS Sunday Morning – CBS News
Pete Seeger is a trip. He’s also recently celebrated his 90th birthday, whether he wanted to make a big stink of it or not. CBS Sunday Morning gave a nice review of his life to date.
PBS has highlights of his birthday celebration. Some of the music is really, really good to give a listen to. Enjoy.
The Health Care Debate Is Making Me Sick : NPR
The latest from Brian Unger.
Still witty. Still on point.
He’s right. The worst part about this supposed opposition to health care reform is what it says about us as Americans.
There are still some very, very vile pieces of crap who think they deserve the same freedoms you and I enjoy. They don’t. Not if they are going to squander it on racial hatred and lies. And they even still call themselves Christians.
Sure, there may be some who aren’t brainwashed drones who genuinely loathe government of any stripe, but I doubt they are even a tiny percentage of the rabid psychopaths getting lathered up into zealot-filled mobs by the GOP.
