Is it because the longer something goes on the more the media distorts the reality? I don't really get what they're trying to say with this. It's cute, but really.

There's a message here of "This is how things get spun - one person enforces his own viewpoint until the other is finally forced to agree."

Every fucking inch of the message is then so fucking saturated with socio-liberalist propaganda that even though I agree with every single viewpoint expressed I still walk away wanting to club a Muslim to death with a baby seal.

The absolute bitch here is that the artist is simultaneously condemning and employing the principal illustrated, and is probably too fucking busy thinking up new ways to be smug to realize what a hypocrite he's being. Which has really gotten to be a real goddam serious problem with the heavy liberals lately and I wish somebody would stand up and say "If you don't stop congratulating yourselves for being so clever and start fixing shit, we're going to have another eight years of hell."

...

Also he's Italian which makes me wonder what the fuck he's doing worrying about our government.

So funny thing about the Castro interview that no one here is talking about where Fidel admits that the Cuban economic model no longer works (remember boys and girls: Socialism only works until you run out of rich people to pay for it)

But what really made me wag my tail was that during the interview, Castro was wearing New Balance sneakers - American design (Part 1 of the interview here). It's one thing that he explicitly denounces his own system, but it's another joyous occasion that he endorses concepts such as globalization and capitalism through his choice of footwear.

Upon being knighted, Terry Pratchett forges his own sword. Out of meteorites.

Did "Cheerful News" just intersect with the Avatar thread?

Clearly, when the terrorists attack in force, Terry Pratchett is going to be one of the brave warriors who saves the world.

This is basically the coolest thing I have ever heard.

If this is what slightly senile Terry Pratchett looks like, god knows what amazing shit awaits us later.

Also: I wonder if he hid it in a stone

Remember Antoine of "They rapin' everybody!" fame? Well, here's some geniunely good news for a change.

Let's hope that stays on track. It's not often that stories of "poor guy gets whack of money" follows with "Buys home for family, spends rest on education".

DAYTON, Minn. -- Vice President Joe Biden has told Democrats at a Minnesota fundraiser that he'll "strangle" members of the GOP who complain about the federal budget.

According to a pool report from Tuesday's event in Dayton, Biden was telling the crowd that Democrats know how to balance the budget. He said, "If I hear one more Republican tell me about balancing the budget, I am going to strangle them."

He quickly added: "To the press, that's a figure of speech."

The figure of speech means he will contract professionals to do it!

BUT SOMEBODY SHOULD BE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BUDGET

I mean, have you seen this thing? It looks like that egg-sac woman in Slither.

I'm not sure how serious you're being here, but I think Biden's point is that someone shouldn't complain about balancing the budget if their party's current plan is to add trillions to the deficit by keeping all of the tax cuts that were made when the budget WAS balanced.

And it's a better tactic than telling the people who got him elected to stop whining.

Classic · « **Reply #279 on:** October 06, 2010, 08:24:17 PM »

Because we're continuing to whine that he and his entire party have no balls?
