Media Matters President Eric Burns addresses “incendiary” right-wing attacks following Haiti earthquake | Media Matters for America
On a side note, welcome to the rehabilitation campaign of George Bush apparently. Frankly, I think he should be doing time for the thing he allowed to happen, but if he’s going to be used to call out the Treason Wing of his party, then he has his uses.
Daily Kos: The day the Klan messed with the wrong people
Once upon a time, minorities threatened by the Klan knew how to fight back.
Given that the Tea Party Traitors are the direct descendents, if not co-members, of the KKK, I think it is high time to give these racist bastards the same rough treatment folks used to give ignorant Kluckers.
You’re never going to earn their respect, so just kick their asses and try to land as many of them in jail as possible.
Cultural Passings
A few deaths lately related to popular culture. First off, we lost Jan Gabriel last week. You might not know the name, but you certainly have heard his shouts of “Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!” if you have ever heard a small track racing commercial back in the MidWest…and Southwest apparently. More on his passing here
In quick food news, we also recently lost Donald Goerke, the creator of SpaghettiOs, which used to be a big favorite of mine back in the day. His obit can be found here.
And just today, I read of the passing of Glen Bell, the founder of Taco Bell. Granted, besides the annual 7 layer burrito, I avoid the place at nearly all costs, but you cannot deny The Hell. I mean, Demolition Man just wouldn’t be the same without it. More on Mr. Bell here.
Darpa: U.S. Geek Shortage Is National Security Risk | Danger Room | Wired.com
I mean, I already knew this nation was filled with people proud of their ignorance. Besides the random Oakland Raiders fans and folks who actually enjoyCeline Dion, you’ve got the risk of Tea Party Traitors who genuflect in orgasmic glee and supported – and voted for – a complete nitwit for Vice President.
What I did NOT know was that our lack of educated citizens – and geeky folks in particular – was a national security risk. So sayeth DARPA. Read about it here.
Yep, your birther/Talibangelical co-workers, neighbors, and family members are in league with the enemies of America. THEY are the problem.
As for you: go read and play with gadgets!
In Haiti earthquake response, Bush distances himself from Cheney / The Christian Science Monitor – CSMonitor.com
More on the Bush rehabilitation tour.
You know what? Maybe we should focus on actually saving the Haitian people or something instead of issuing fluff pieces like this.
