Think Progress » Executives receive one-third of all pay in the U.S.

Does anybody seriously believe that it’s a good thing that business execs earn a third of all payroll in this nation?

This is, frankly, utter bullcrap. Yeah, let’s tax the bastards to pay for health care. Let’s not forget that a bunch of these bastiches pushed for the Iraq War, got rich off of it, and still are.

Others are oil execs. Some are the same bankers we’re bailing out because they screwed our economy up.

Tax ’em. Then cut their damned pay.

Think Progress » Jindal takes credit for stimulus, presents constituents with jumbo-sized stimulus check.

So….

Governor Piyush Jindal* hates the stimulus plan. He came on TV and gave an incredibly awkward speech to tell me so.

So why the hell is he trotting out press conferences to give out stimulus checks?

Oh wait! He’s not calling them stimulus checks. And he’s putting his name on them instead of Obama’s or the federal government in general.

So you stole the money Jindal? Just asking.

Either way, clever in that lying, double-faced GOP kind of way we are all too used to.

* As you may know, Governor Jindal likes to be called Bobby, after the youngest son in The Brady Bunch. No, I’m not kidding.

But as he is in a party that a) is incredibly racist, and b) went out of it’s way to point out that the president’s WHOLE name is Barack HUSSEIN! Obama, I think it is only fair that we remind them that one of their governors who hasn’t either quit, or cheated on his wife lately does not have an Anglo-Saxon name.

You know, just in case they need their noses rubbed in it.

Even Tom Arnold Can Out-Think Sean Hannity and Other Republicans | Crooks and Liars

Tom Arnold looks like a freaking genius when pitted against Hannity and the lobbyist puppets arrayed against him. Check it out.

Meanwhile, Lewis Black makes some chuckle-worthy assessments on The Daily Show.

Look, the GOP can’t even make an argument that a B-movie actor and a comedian can’t cut to shreds in quick succession. How the hell does this pass muster as a counter argument to the President’s plan?

Let me put it closer to home. How am I supposed to be that “Obamacare” or whatever they want to call it is bad for me and my family? How am I supposed to buy the “stay the course and go broke” argument? Last week I went to get Gabriel a refill on one of his meds. The pharmacy cuts the prescription 20% because the insurance company made them do it. So, I pay the same and get less for my 11 month old baby because the insurance company has the right to override the wishes of our pediatrician. And I’m supposed to like this?

Screw that. Pass the public plan. Hopefully it is worth the rhetoric and is something I can jump on board with to provide for my family.

Bob Cesca: Crazy Wingnut Healthcare Attacks Exposed

“The last time I renewed my driver’s license, it took less than five minutes. If I ever have the privilege of sitting in a doctor’s office waiting room and, subsequently, the exam room, for less than five minutes I’ll voluntarily pay triple the fee and send the doctor an enormous gift basket filled with, you know, a Lexus.”

More goodness from Bob Cesca on the bullshit GOP arguments against public health care.
