Bill O'Reilly and an Athiest Talk at One Another

So, let's see. This is great. The outrageously bigoted, routinely offensive man who fancies himself the voice of conservative America can't tell you how tides work, and is offended when his religion is questioned. Are we a nation of big babies (With guns)? Now this Atheist isn't exactly a whizz-bang either, so it's kind of a car wreck, but at least he's trying to use his gray matter.


And then this happened:

Rita speaks truth to power on behalf of America and Sarah Palin

Rita from Memphis breaks down the real system for us through insanely patient radio host Michelangelo Signorile, and really opens a window on the oft baffling mind of the Right.  As you watch, try and not blame our education system somehow . . . she just doesn't have the right information or abilities, she's trying . . . but the gears can't catch.

MUST WATCH VIDEO for ALL CHRISTIANS and ENVIRONMENTALISTS

New blog Estate 44 reveals the true nature of the "conservative" mind

UPDATE:  Estate 44 has mysteriously disappeared from the web.  This LINK remains with images of the research they did. 

Estate 44 does little more than subscribe to popular (think thousands of subscribers) twitter and facebook channels of self-identified republicans, tea party members, and conservatives and compiles the hate for easy consumption. 

Well, in THAT case . . .

Energy Star Falling

In the wake of an almost-unbelievably horrid review from the Government Accountability Office, the Energy Star program looks as if it's in for a complete overhaul.  Fifteen fake products were submitted for Energy Star certification, and all were accepted.  Here's the rub:  One was a gasoline-powered alarm clock, and one was

"an air cleaner that was actually a space heater with a feather duster and fly strips taped to it."

Hilarious.  And sad.  And another reason to fear big bureaucracy.

The reforms are being spearheaded by Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine.  Full story HERE from physorg.com

Idiot Gen. James Sheehan blames gays in Dutch Army for Srebrenica genocide.

Somehow without moving his mouth, Sheehan sticks his foot in it.  Unbearable.

Levity with Sleeves.

Move over Snuggie Slanket, I've got something with fingers.  How hilarious is this?  Apparently everyone in Brooklyn has bad circulation.  I guess if it gets you to turn your heat down to a reasonable level at night, then it's a good thing.  I just think your laundry bill will go up.  Also, what happens when one suddenly decides to lie on one's side?  Douchequake!!!!

F is for Filibuster! or The Matter with Parliamentary Procedure

Ok, all it takes to stop a bill (like healthcare reform) from passing in our illustrious US Senate are:

the Senators from the 20 least-populated states (that's 10.2 percent of the country's population)

 . . .  and ONE OTHER GUY.

Yep, 41 Senators is all it takes for a filibuster to blow a bill out of the water. 

Great system.  I'm going to go let some blood and burn some witches now . . . because those systems still seem fine to me too.

Furious.

Stupid is the new black. (also the new pink, blue and green)

Any New Yorker who has hurried through subway connections this week, huddled against the cold weather, has seen these at every turn:

and I can't help but think that we've hit a new low. 

BE STUPID . . . do Americans need a reminder?

ooooooh, you dumb fucker
