Holy shit. We fight the Taliban abroad to keep them from using religious dogma to rule the country but we tolerate this garbage here?

Point #1: Freedom of Speech - Learn it, live it, love it.
Point #2: It isn’t revenue you twit, it is taxes. Stop sugarcoating it.

Getting off so lightly? Staying in office is the cop-out, dude. And seriously, insinuating that God wants you to tough it out also seems to imply that God helped you bang the Argentine chica as well. That’s one helluva divine test. Sign me up!

It seems a lot of high profile people died while I was away. I don’t plan on leaving again like this for at least a year, so everyone can relax.
Go away for a week...
and I lose all my Tumblarity (still not so sure what algorithm computes that).
Well, I am back from a week of fun and sin sun from sunny Florida and back with the internet.
Here we go is how I got to spend one day of my vacation. All I can take credit for is the dolphinfish (mahi-mahi) up front and a couple of the king mackerels in the back.

I have said many times that if we first reduce government waste, we would reclaim the equivalent of a 1-3% tax hike. Let’s hope the federal government will follow suit.
Hard times, but not in the House →
While businesses across the country are cutting back, members of the House saw their own office budgets increase by an average of 7 percent between 2008 and 2009.
House officials say the increase is because of — not in spite of — the nation’s economic woes.

retropolitics:
President Barack Obama says the biblical command to “love thy neighbor as thyself” is as pertinent now as ever. The president said Friday that an entire community suffers when some members cannot pay their mortgages or find jobs. He called on Americans to work together to build a better future for everyone, including immigrants. Obama made his remarks at the Esperanza National...

Yes, an homage to a murderous thug who is nothing more than an idiotic hipster image - something the “real” Che would have loathed.

I’m starting to feel like an asshole for not making my Twitter avatar green.
I’m not a joiner by nature, but I am persuadable. (It should be noted that this shit Ahmadinejad is pulling has got me very pissed off.)
So. Tell me:
Am I an asshole for not being green?
No. The green icon nonsense is Slacktivism at its worst. I recommend reading Adam Isacson’s post on the...

Who Is Mir Hossein Mousavi? →
I have wondered for a few days now just who is this man that is inspiring all these green twitter avatars? I also wonder how many of those who are standing firm with the Mousavi have a clue who he is?

PETA wishes Obama hadn't swatted that fly →
Really, PETA? Really?
It's not what you think, officers. Really.
A Memphis man told officers a complaint about his behavior was just a simple misunderstanding, according to police.
He said he wasn’t fondling himself. Instead, he claimed he was merely “giving his penis some air,” according to a police affidavit.
According to the affidavit, officers responded to a complaint Wednesday evening that Augustus Hudgins, 41, exposed himself and was masturbating on a...
If You Have Health Insurance Today, You Can Keep...
SOURCE
During his speech yesterday to the American Medical Association in Chicago, President Obama said not once, but twice that if you have health insurance today and like it, you will be able to keep it under his reform. Shortly afterwards, the congressional budget Office released its initial scoring of the health care bill drafted by Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) and the Senate Committee on...
