Will it be a pop-up book of historical inaccuracies? Haha, I kid! Perhaps it will expose the TRUTH about Rudolph’s “Red Nose” and his red-loving comrade-in-arms Santa Claus who distributes goods from the makers to give to the little takers. And what about that name? Santa spells Satan! His surname isn’t even American, for the love of gawd! No, this book MUST be written by Sarah Palin.

Hey, Bob, your 15 minutes of fame were up years ago when you stopped speaking truth to power and started writing salacious, meaningless crap best kept next to the toilet. In reflection, maybe you should be a regular on Scheiss World with Kneel Cavuto.

Chris Krispykreme may be a back-stabbing blowhard Republican, but he’s not stupid. As the Governor of a state hard-hit by a natural disaster, he may be having second thoughts about backing Mitt “dismantle FEMA” Romney.

@ Visitor 55:
It’s not 12 people in a movie theater, but an 86 year old man (allegedly) murdered 10 people and injured 70 more by speeding into a crowded farmers market in California. He claimed loss of control, yet managed to miss all of the cars and trucks in 2+ blocks before running into innocent victims.
I think you’re on to something. There are approximately 250 million registered cars and 270 million guns in the United States. Each year there are approximately 40 thousand people killed by automobiles and 30 thousand people killed by guns (all cause mortality in both cases).
From this, we can infer the lethality of each given device. For automobiles, there are about 6,200 registered vehicles per person killed by them. For guns, there are about 9,000 registered guns per person killed by them. Therefore, automobiles are about 1.4 times more effective at killing than guns. And that really says something, because a gun’s sole purpose is to kill, whereas a vehicle, not so much.
I would fully support a ban on automobiles. Now, the gun control… that’s a toughie. Not that I’m against it, but you would have to completely overhaul the way guns are bought, sold, and traded, which would mean taking on the gun industry, the NRA (the NAMBLA of gun nuts, if you will), various right wing loonies, people who “want to take back their country”, and other people who think that regulation is equivalent to banning (as you point out as one of their favorite straw-men).
What would that overhaul look like? I think it would be a lot like the DMV. In fact, let’s call it the Division of Mechanical Weaponry. We could even combine the two offices for government efficiency!
It would work similarly to vehicle titling and registration. All weaponry must have a unique WIN (Weaponry Identification Number) assigned to it, either by the manufacturer, or by the DMW. Private sales of weaponry would require a change of title, which can only be done at the DMW or authorized weaponry dealerships, in person, by both parties. Commercial sales would work much the same. At time of sale, a licensing check will be performed (why is it that the DMV immediately knows when I get a parking ticket in the City, yet it takes days or longer to find out if I’m a convicted felon?). Assuming there are no irregularities, the sale and transfer of title is approved and is registered to the new owner.

Exactly, Jon! We’ve got to do whatever we can to help the job creators create jobs. If that means eliminating child labor laws, the minimum wage, welfare, non-profit health care (for the non-AARP crowd), environmental laws, consumer safety laws, and any other law, regulation or entitlement program that, in any way, might prevent the worthiest people on Earth (corporations are people, my friend!) from making a buck like the Teabag hat wearing Party wants, then so be it! If you are not a producer (i.e. – a corporation or rich person), you are a taker. Romney 2012!

Yeah, at times Bill is funny (particularly when he’s on Letterman or The Daily Show). I used to like him, but I’ve come to realize that his on-screen persona at “The Factor” is not just a persona that he shrugs off after the show.

Why is the WH distancing itself from Ms. Rosen? It’s pretty clear what she said and meant when not taken out of context. I’m sick and tired of watching them get beaten on BS talking points like this. When the right wingers get called out, right or wrong, they double down. Can’t the WH at least manage to grow a sack and do it when they’re right? What has 3+ years of trying to appease, accommodate, and tolerate the lunatic fringe of the right wing gotten them?

I find it incredibly annoying that every media outlet chooses to focus on the racial component of this story, and not on the motivations behind the malfeasance of the police and prosecutor, or on the unconstitutional aspect of the “stand your ground law” that seems to strip the apparent victim of their right to equal protection under the law.

Yakki, I find the misinformation and outright lies made by the media, corporations, and our elected officials depressing. I think the intense polarization of the country is non-productive at best. I fear you are right in thinking things are going to get much worse than they get better. Having family members who were lucky enough to survive true government oppression and hearing their stories, I hate the hyperbole spread around the internet. Hopefully, I didn’t come off as just another nutter. This is why I usually stick to snarky humour, it’s less depressing. Well, maybe it is.
