Fox News’s faux news | Brad Friedman | guardian.co.uk

It is with a sense of both shame and bemusement that we now witness good Americans agitated and drafted into protests over the very policies that the Republican failure has itself created and supported uncritically for years: record government expansion and deficits; massive Big Brother invasion of privacy; bureaucratic intrusion between patients and doctors; corporate bailouts courtesy of taxpayer largesse….

The list goes on and on, but the frothing teabaggers protest as if the last eight years never happened. Rather, these poor saps were presented with a phony version of reality produced with Hollywood-style special effects and distractions (missing blonds, steroids in baseball, terrorists around every corner, non-existent voter fraud). Now these confused souls roam the streets, town halls and email lists as clueless zombies, unaware of who and what they are fighting for (government-supported corporatocracy) or against (their own self-interest).

Even the Brits now see what a danger FAUXNews is.

Only a couple comments

Once again, more sound reason from Reddit:

Why are people surprised that Palin is lying in her book? Its title is ‘Going Rogue’ – ‘rogue’ is a ‘dishonest or worthless person’ according to Merriam- Webster

– submitted by epsilona01

Followed by the definition from Merriam-Webster (emphasis mine):

Main Entry: rogue Pronunciation: \ˈrōg\ Function: noun Etymology: origin unknown Date: 1561

1 : vagrant, tramp
2 : a dishonest or worthless person : scoundrel

3 : a mischievous person : scamp
4 : a horse inclined to shirk or misbehave
5 : an individual exhibiting a chance and usually inferior biological variation

In short, this racist rabble-rouser and mental lightweight has nothing to tell me and I truly wish the morons on TV would stop talking about this fool.

Las Vegas club agrees to halt promotion featuring live dancers on truck – Friday, Nov. 13, 2009 | 5:48 p.m. – Las Vegas Sun

So long stripper truck, we hardly knew ya.

Look, I’m pretty much a local here. I don’t go to the Strip much, if at all unless folks come to visit or we get really cheap show tickets.

And I definitely don’t drag my kid down there at midnight. But apparently the “moral values” dipshits think they need to shut down something that is making a local business some money. So, alas, the stripper truck is no more.

I hate it when uptight nitwits ruin a good marketing venture. I had no need to see the truck, so it didn’t bother me. No one was actually getting naked in it. The Strip is covered in ads for burlesque shows and clubs and whatnot that have scantily clad females on it. Apparently those are fine to the so-called Christians or whatever they think they are.

Look, it’s Vegas. The whorehouses are over an hour away. Stripping is legal, and I don’t want to know what goes on in the all-night massage parlors and 24-hour acupuncture clinics. If you don’t like what Vegas means to the rest of the planet, move back to Provo or Chico or Alpine, TX for all I care. But quit voting for a guy who cheats with his best friend’s wife and then get all irate over a girl in lingerie in the back of a truck.

Hypocrites.
