Study: Rumors of Written-Word Death Greatly Exaggerated | Epicenter | Wired.com

Yes, we’re still reading. It may not always be books – frankly, most of my news and computer knowledge comes from a screen these days – but we are still a literate culture.

Sadly, those numbers include morons who read “Going Rogue” (and seriously, I doubt 80% of the people who bought that piece of crap actually read it) and the douchebags who read Bill O’Reilly and Mark Levin hatefests. So even for those anti-intellectual nitwits, reading is reading.

Now if we can all just actually try to learn and grow as a result of the act, that would be something.

Bob Cesca: Republican Hypocrisy on Terrorism Reaches New Levels of Awful

Needless to say, Cheney is well-qualified to take an authoritative posture when it comes to terrorism. After all, he and his little buddy “kept us safe” from terrorist attacks for eight years, right? Other than the worst terrorist attack in American history, of course, along with the Anthrax Attacks, the Beltway Snipers, the thousands of terrorist attacks on our contractors and soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the attacks on our allies in London and Madrid, Cheney did a fine job keeping us safe…. Good job, Mr. Cheney!

Thanks again for telling it like it is Bob!

In the aftermath of the successful and terrible 9/11 attacks, Bush’s approval ratings shot up to 90 percent. Democrats and Republicans rallied around the president in defiance against violent religious extremism. Meanwhile, President Obama has just presided over a failed terrorist attack in which a Qaeda-doof botched a crotch rocket — the airplane landed on time and there were minimal injuries. The hijacker is still alive and is talking like Chatty Cathy doll. Yet President Obama is somehow targeted by the right as an utter failure because of it. Now imagine if there had been an attack even close to the scope of the 9/11 hijackings.

In other words, preside over the biggest terrorist attack in American history and it’s an EPIC WIN for President Bush. Preside over a failed attack and it’s an EPIC FAIL for President Obama.

Fox And Friends To Obama: Quit It With Your Big Words Like ‘Allegedly’ (VIDEO) | TPM LiveWire

You know, if FAUXNews was some operation out of some small town on the Plains, you’d feel bad for them saying stupid shit like this. Instead, one of our biggest media companies has a problem with him because he speaks actual English instead of the Hooked-on-Phonics crap they trade in.

Seriously, how freaking stupid can Republicans be? First they spend millions and decades on trying to force everyone (except Southerners) to speak English. Now that we finally have a president again who can speak it, they don’t understand what he’s saying.

Morons.
