“A big blizzard proves there’s no global warming in the same way being out of milk proves there’s no such thing as cows.”

Of all the ads Doritos did, this one cracks me up.

BBC News – Last orders for pint glass as we know it?
Little did I know that the UK has tens of thousands of pint glass injuries every year, costing the nation almost 3 billion pounds a year in medical costs. They are now working on a shatter-proof pint glass to reduce these injuries.
Make takes a look at both designs under consideration:
Answering The Bush “Miss Me Yet?” Billboard | Oliver Willis
Oliver goes through some of the many, many, many reasons why we are still burdened with the legacy of Bush the Lesser and his many failures as a man, and as a leader.
Tea Party Movement Is Full of Conspiracy Theories – Newsweek.com
The crazy conspiracy lunatics behind the Tea Bagger Traitors. They want a revolution to “restore” our nation to things that “made it great”. Presumably this involves slavery, no women’s suffrage, and child labor.
People need to openly discuss why these idiots are truly crazy and dragging our country down to their intellectual level. Namely, that of a carrot stick. All apologies to any offended vegetables.
Talking about crazy secessionist bastards is apparently hard for the media as it goes out of it’s way to report on the depths of stupid behind the “movement”.
From the Big Three to NPR, trust me, you’ll gain the respect of me and millions of others if you would just call our stupid and insane for what it is and forget worrying about the morons whose opinions you present as “balance” to otherwise sane positions.
Bad for Morale
CoffeeGhost » Alan Turing: Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Poster
As the creator of this poster notes, rampant homophobia (and bigotry in general) is far more dangerous to our society than any so-called “terrorist” threat conjured up by the Cheney Hate Brigades.
Honestly, if conservatives hate gays so much, they should stop using the internet, not to mention passwords, considering all the work Turing did in the field.
Haiti, Bill O’Reilly and The Myth of the Dark Savage
It seems that every time there is a natural disaster, some conservative has to mock the survivors for doing what they can to survive. In both New Orleans and Haiti, anyone digging through the rubble for a loaf of bread was a “looter”. As long as their skin was dark, at least.
It’s not just the purview of the worst of our media. Seemingly all media organizations do it reactively. It just seems that FAUXNews-types take joy in criminalizing dark people in dire straits.
Colorado Springs cuts into services considered basic by many – The Denver Post
More than a third of the streetlights in Colorado Springs will go dark Monday. The police helicopters are for sale on the Internet. The city is dumping firefighting jobs, a vice team, burglary investigators, beat cops — dozens of police and fire positions will go unfilled.
The parks department removed trash cans last week, replacing them with signs urging users to pack out their own litter.
Neighbors are encouraged to bring their own lawn mowers to local green spaces, because parks workers will mow them only once every two weeks. If that.
Water cutbacks mean most parks will be dead, brown turf by July; the flower and fertilizer budget is zero.
City recreation centers, indoor and outdoor pools, and a handful of museums will close for good March 31 unless they find private funding to stay open. Buses no longer run on evenings and weekends. The city won’t pay for any street paving, relying instead on a regional authority that can meet only about 10 percent of the need.
– From a January 31st story on the problems about to come to fruition in Colorado Springs
This is what happens in the Capital of Conservatism when you stop caring for your fellow man and hoard your earnings all to yourself.
The notion of community, of nation, of common purpose and security is gone when it comes to the Talibangelicals. The lights are on at Focus on the Family, but the streets of Colorado Springs are about to get that much more dangerous because of these “me first” pseudo-christians.
Screw ’em. I hope they get what they deserve for poisoning our politics and bringing our nation to it’s knees.
