When You're Richer Than God

You can afford to think about not being evil. So, uh, how about it?

Shit Is Fucked Up And Bullshit

Not a fan of employer-based coverage, but we don't yet really have a semi-affordable replacement.

We're Still There

Regarding this:

“Afghanistan is ready right now,” Karzai said in a statement, “to take all security responsibilities completely.”

With so much evidence to the contrary, it is tempting to assume that Karzai’s pronouncement is simply another provocation from a war-weary leader angered by American military lapses, the most recent of which was a U.S. Army staff sergeant’s alleged shooting rampage that killed 16 Afghan civilians last weekend. Karzai said Friday that he is “at the end of the rope” over how the U.S. military has handled the incident.

I have no idea whether Karzai and his people can maintain security in the country, but I'm not sure what "evidence to the contrary" there is. There's a reasonable amount of evidence that a large US troop presence hasn't exactly made the place a security paradise. The country we've occupied is totally fucked up so that's evidence we need to continue the occupation seems to be the logic.

Things may go to hell when we're gone, but it isn't exactly paradise with us there.

Just what problem is a budget "Grand Bargain" trying to solve?

My constitutional right to get obscenely rich from broadcasting my opinions has been violated for far too long.

About Right

Grey Lady:

So homeowners are still bearing the brunt of the mortgage debacle. Taxpayers are still supporting too-big-to-fail banks. And banks are still not being held accountable.

Sunday Bobbleheads

This Week has Little Ricky.

Meet the Press has AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH JOHN MCCAIN. Hopefully they chat about heartland values at the Chevy Chase club. Also, too, George Clooney and John Prendergast.

Face the Nation has Reince Priebus and Axelrod.

Document the atrocities!

Afternoon Thread

or the Al Gore is fat thread.

Vigilante Fantasies

Every gun-carrying gun nut I've known (not all people who own guns, but the ones who are obsessed with them and who carry them at all times for the claimed purpose of self defense) really really wants the opportunity to kill an armed assailant, usually an off white one. And if an armed assailant never shows up, well...

Test Case

They're coming for all the pensions.

Wingnut Dating Advice

Pajamas Media offers women inexplicable yet disgusting misogynist dating advice.

What follows, I shit thee not.
If you can’t find a “good guy,” maybe you’re making the same mistake that men do when they want a woman who “likes me for ME!” Translation: He wants a supermodel who likes him despite the fact he’s boring and unattractive. If all else fails, it’s always worth asking if the man of your dreams came along tomorrow and wanted to date, would you be the kind of woman he’d want to date?

Why can't I find a good man? Wait, it couldn't be something I'm doing wrong, could it?
