Chris Christie can’t seem to keep his fat ass out of trouble. His 2016 aspirations should be dead, as should his re-election campaign if he can do that in NJ, but because he’s a Republican, he will continue to slog along (1). Right Wingers are going apeshit over Carl Sagan (4) and there is nothing more fresh than a domestic violence joke (9). Also, the Obama Administration is back on the list for another controversial entry (10). And as always, don't forget the key. Remember, you can run your mouse over the icon to see what it means.

What the hell was New Jersey thinking? Where the fuck were the Democrats when this toad ran for re-election? He hugged Obama after Sandy and all off the bullying, the sociopathy, the corruption. . .all of that disappears because now he’s good. So we throw a good Democrat under the bus and allow this fat bastard to win, giving him the political capital to be a potential front runner for the 2016 nomination. Why? Because he fucking hugged Obama???

Govenor Ballast is a God damn embarrassment to anyone with half a working, functioning brain in their heads. Last week, he cemented his bullshit with this little tidbit of Quid Pro Quo.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]For a state that lost hundreds of lives on Sept. 11, the gifts were emotionally resonant: pieces of steel from the ruins of the World Trade Center. They were presented by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to 20 carefully chosen New Jersey mayors who sat atop a list of 100 whose endorsements Gov. Chris Christie hoped to win.

Uhh. . .what? What? WHAT!?!?! He gave away bits and pieces of the Twin Towers to mayors as a way of getting their endorsement? Imagine how that went:

GHOUL CHRISTIE: “Support me and I’ll give you this blood covered piece of concrete wall, if you look closely, has bits of flesh and hair on it.”

GHOUL MAYOR: “Sign me up, Governor. I can use it as a conversation piece on my coffee table.”

Yes, ghouls! Fucking ghouls! Don’t say this is no different than selling piece of the Berlin Wall. The Berlin Wall was not a ground zero for death and destruction. Selling pieces of that was buying history. This is buying endorsements!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Mayors lower on the list of 100 — such as Mark Sokolich, of Fort Lee, at No. 45 — received other Port Authority perquisites: an intimate tour of the National September 11 Memorial, or the new World Trade Center construction site, or Port Authority money for jobs programs or new firefighting equipment, even in towns far from the port.

Wow! And for a special endorsement, Christie will let staffers give the mayors handjobs while telling them how great they are. At least the 9/11 saga will have a happy ending.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Turning wreckage of the twin towers into politically motivated gifts before Mr. Christie’s 2013 re-election was only one example. The authority became a means to reward friends (or hire them) and punish adversaries, and a bank to be used when Mr. Christie sought to avoid raising taxes. Major policy initiatives, such as instituting a large toll and fare increase in 2011, were treated like political campaigns to burnish the governor’s image.

What? He is petty enough to exact political revenge on people who don’t follow his fat ass hook, line and sinker? Like what happened on the GWB and Fort Lee? You don’t say.

Okay, so sum up:

01. Fat ass hugs Obama
02. The NJ Democrats throw their candidate under the bus and work to get Fat Ass re-elected
03. Fat Ass does shit behind the scenes to insure he has the endorsement he wants.
04. When an influential mayor refuses to endorse him, Christie uses the power of his office to exact political revenge.
05. It blows up on him and the media begins to work to discover the man all people with half a working brain knew he was in the first place.
06. The NYT discovers he sold off the WTC wreckage for endorsements.
07. And Fat Ass still won’t resign.

Ghouls! I hope you’re happy, New Jersey Democrats. You voted for him. And your party all but threw him the election.

The Wicked Witch of the North is a crazy person. Not just crazy, but bat-shit crazy too. She has attacked anyone that isn’t named Michelle Bachmann or doesn’t support her paranoid, delusional view of what America is. But her favorite target is gayo-Americans.

See, according to the soon-to-be-indicted one, Gay Americans have bullied, threatened, coerced and intimidated good, God-fearing American politicians into supporting their gay orgies and desires for gayness everywhere. And Gay Americans used every weapon at their disposal:

01: Being dragged to death like Matthew Sheppard.
02: Being beaten for being too feminine by insecure straight men
03: Cornering the market in the marriage biz.
04: Using the courts to demand equal protection under the law.
05: Spending money on supporting politicians that will support their causes.

But Bachmann sees something even more insidious. Something more hideous. Something downright destructive. All because Jan Brewer the Harpie vetoed a gay bashing bill in Arizona. Now, Michelle has her knickers in a twist.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]"There's nothing about gays in there, but the gay community decided to make this their measure," she told conservative radio host Lars Larson during an interview at CPAC, as recorded by Right Wing Watch.

Really? Most read the bill, moron! It specifically targeted gay people. I don’t think religious fundamentalist nutjobs will mind black people. Well, maybe they will if you tell them Jesus was black. . .but the gays are things Jesus hates. The New Testament tells us that. . .I’ll find it.

Wait. . .wait. Nothing in the New Testament says that? Really? Oh. Please proceed, Congresswoman.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]BACHMANN: "And the thing that I think is getting a little tiresome is the gay community, they have so bullied the American people and they have so intimidated politicians that politicians fear them and so they think they get to dictate the agenda everywhere. Well, not with the Constitution you don't."

Really? Full Faith and Credit. . .if you’re married in one state, you’re married in all states. Just like driver’s licenses. And criminal records. If you’re an ex-con in New Hampshire. . .you’re an ex-con in Nevada if you move there. Remember that clause of the Constitution?

How about the 14th amendment full protection under the law clause? Oh, those don’t matter in Michelle Bachmann’s constitution. Amendment one of that: Fuck Gay People!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Bachmann then said that the gay community has pushed for laws and court rulings that violate religious freedom. "If you want take away my religious liberties, you can advocate for that but you do it through the constitutional process," she said. "You don’t intimidate and no politician should give away my religious liberties or yours."

I believe absolutely ZERO gay people have come out and worked to destroy religious freedom. If someone’s religion is threatened by a gay person, the problem isn’t the religious belief. The problem is the person.

If you take the word “gay” and replace it worth the word “n-bomb,” we’re back in the 1950s-1960s all over again. Remember, mixed racial marriages are the end of the world too.

Ready, aim. . .shoot yourself in the foot!

It is now official. The tea party is nothing more than nihilists with the sociopathic attitude of “if I can’t have it, no one can.” They are about to declare war on the Republicans in Virginia. Have at it, Hoss! Get me some popcorn.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]It looks like Frank Wagner's despicable slating tactic to nullify any and all participation in the state and local politics by actual conservatives is spreading. I am hearing this could happen in the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th districts as well. So instead of trying to work together and broaden the party, the Establishment all over Virginia has made it pretty clear that they only want either paid lackeys or bootlickers running the local committees. So if they continue to do this, there isn't much we can do.

Or is there.

Oh, a challenge. Someone sees a challenge in the workings. Please go on. What is the “Or is there” that you want to do, Mr. Tea Party Jihadist?

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]What I propose is if the Establishment here in Virginia continues to use this tactic in order to disenfranchise any person who doesn't toe the line, we vote Democrat this year. Just this once. Consider this Operation Chaos 2.0. If they don't want us, lets see how they will feel if vote against them? This a free country and in my opinion, it is the duty of the party to serve its members, not the reverse. Unfortunately, when you get into power and surround yourself with paid yes-men, you lose sight of that.

WOW!!! The tea party is abandoning the Republican Party! If they don’t get 100% of what they want, they will vote for the candidate that will give them 0% rather than 90%. Damn! Someone hand them as many knives as you can. We need to see massive throat slitting now! Please vote for Democrats.

With this knowledge, the Democrats need to put up the most liberal, left wing Bernie Sanders types in all offices in Virginia.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Is this a radical step? Yes. Will this idea catch on? I hope so. Primaries are pointless if the system is gamed. The reason why people like Frank Wagner and his ilk hate conventions is because it is a system that he cannot game, cannot control, cannot dictate the outcome just because he's a state senator. For all the bullshit they spew about growing the party through primaries, let's seem them eat those words when they have effectively thrown out the activist base that does all the hard work and actually believes in what fake conservatives like Wagner et al say they believe in.

Preach to the choir, brother! Vote for Democrats. Give money to Democrats! Elect Democrats! Please teabaggers. . .enjoy that idea! We love it! It doesn’t matter where the votes come from so long as the Democrat gets the majority of them.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]They think we are patsies. They think we can be bullied and put down and beaten into line. But parties are overrated, they are simply vehicles for getting elected to enact your principles. What is in your heart is more important then the letter after your name on the ballot. If they want to play dirty, let's play dirtier.

So sacrifice your teabagger conservative principles and vote for liberal Democrats! That will show the Republican establishment who’s boss! While you’re at it, do it on national level too.

Paul Ryan is another amazing guy. He who speaks with forked tongue can’t seem to stop lying or saying really stupid bullshit. Last week, he had a real doozy of a statement.

While appearing on Bill Bennett’s echo chamber, Ryan said this:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) previewed his upcoming legislative proposals for reforming America’s poverty programs during an appearance on Bill Bennett’s Morning in America Wednesday, hinting that he would focus on creating work requirements for men “in our inner cities” and dealing with the “real culture problem” in these communities. “We have got this tailspin of culture, in our inner cities in particular, of men not working and just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning the value and the culture of work, and so there is a real culture problem here that has to be dealt with,” he said.

Men in the inner cities? That is coded language for “black men.” So, when a black man isn’t working, he’s a lazy person. . .but if a black man is elected president (twice), he’s uppity and a tyrant. More sophistry.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Ryan also cited Charles Murray, a conservative social scientist who believes African-Americans are, as a population, less intelligent than whites due to genetic differences and that poverty remains a national problem because “a lot of poor people are born lazy.”

WOW!!! HOLY SHIT!!! Next he’ll quote George Fitzhugh who said that black people that were slaves at least had three hots and a cot and while the occasional slave master beat their slaves, the black slaves were better off than the white wage slaves. . .so let’s bring back slavery. At least then the lazy, inner city men will have jobs.

Resign now. . .just resign, asshole. You are unfit for office, public forums or even being seen in public. And no, all of this is true, as Think Progress has reported.

I wonder if he’ll bring up the Protocols of the Elders of Zion next when he talks about Jews. Wouldn’t be surprising? After all, it took one black man to expose the racist underbelly of the modern Republican Party. . .a Jewish man would completely destroy them. And God forbid. . .a woman president!

Unless that woman’s Sarah Palin, then it’s a-okay.

Imagine you are an eight year old girl in a green uniform. You have a list of names in your hand and are walking through your neighborhood with your parents. You go door to door and ask people if they would do what has truly become an American tradition and a pleasant piece of Americana. . .the Girl Scout Cookie drive.

You’re doing a good job selling your cookies. . .then you knock on someone’s door. The adult in the house answers and you give your speech. The adult instantly starts screaming at you that you support abortion and are Godless and need to die. . .then slams the door in your face.

I know. . .this couldn’t happen. But it will during this year’s Girl Scout Cookie-cott.

First a little background.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Launched in 1912, the Girl Scouts of the USA started as a single pack of girls in Savannah, Georgia, meeting in the hopes of getting out of their “isolated home environments and into community service and the open air.” Founder Juliette Gordon Low, an artist and athlete, saw her personal mission in launching the troop as “to go on with my heart and soul, devoting all my energies to Girl Scouts, and heart and hand with them, we will make our lives and the lives of the future girls happy, healthy and holy.”

Since that first troop, tens of millions of girls have joined the scouts, forming friendships, earning badges for new skills and, of course, selling the Girl Scout cookies so ubiquitously linked in every person’s mind with the organization. Beginning in 1917, when the first cookies were sold by an Oklahoma troop in a local high school as a service project, troops now sell approximately 200 million boxes per year, resulting in around $700 million in sales.

Well we can’t have girls involved in the community and doing things to be “happy, healthy and holy.” Well, Holy is okay. . .if they support and worship the same invisible man I worship in the same ways I do it. Girls need to be barefoot, in the home, with two black eyes making my dinner with three kids and fourth in the oven. That’s where this uppity little tykes should be. How DARE they destroy that? You know, soon they may want to even work at real jobs and. . .vote! The humanity. The horror.

So, why are the wingnuts going apeshit now?

The Girl Scouts’ Twitter account tweeted a link to a Huffington Post Live segment discussing potential candidates for woman of the year for 2013. Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis was mentioned as a contender, as were singer Beyonce, Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai and even “the brave women on social media.”

Are these people that emotionally insecure? Are their egos that fractured? Are their dicks that small? It wasn’t an endorsement. It was mentioning an important woman that they can use to show their Scouts that any girl can be just as good, maybe even better than a man. . .which is why I call Jay-Z “Mr. Beyonce.”

Such bullcrap. And it goes to great length to show just at stupid it is.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]01. Just a few months earlier, in October, right-wing Colorado radio pastors Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner of Generations Radio were urging a boycott of cookies because the Girl Scouts were a “wicked organization” that “doesn’t promote godly womanhood” and in fact “is antithetical to a biblical vision for womanhood,” according to Swanson.

02. In 2012, the Family Research Council, the Christian right advocacy group headed by Tony Perkins, urged its 455,000 followers to pray that cookie sales would lag so that the Girl Scouts would break off their alleged relationship with Planned Parenthood. “The Scouts had better confess their errors and make a clean break while they can,” read the alert, which also urged prayer for the congressional defunding of Planned Parenthood.

03. Even as far back as a decade ago, anti-abortion organizations were boycotting their local troops to punish them for participating in events with Planned Parenthood affiliates. In the case of Waco, Texas, a boycott of cookies in 2004—launched over a partnership with Planned Parenthood for a sex-ed event—continued on even after the troop dropped its co-sponsorship. (Pro-Life Waco’s continuing boycott has now become the staging ground for the current 2014 cookie-cott.)

So when that door is slammed in that Girl Scout’s face and she goes back crying to her parents, her parents will ask what happened. Imagine the look on the parents’ faces when she says “That person in that house called me a baby killing diesel dyke that hate America. I never killed a baby.”

Try explaining that one to your daughter. Sickening.

Spokane, Washington has a long history of nazi sympathizers loving the place so much they setup shop there. It’s similar now to Kingman, Arizona. So it should come as absolutely no shock to anyone that some nazi racist scum-sucking asshole pulled the same nazi shit to immigration reform advocates that Steve King does, except this prick didn’t mask it in politically viable language.

Wow. Intelligent, classy, thought-provoking and brave. Didn’t stick around to get his photo taken. Didn’t stick around for anyone to find out what this asshole’s name is. Moronic.

At least Fast for Families did what they should have done in dealing with this prick.

Are you busting a gut laugh yet? Isn’t it funny? A beating your wife joke by an elected Republican (what a fucking surprise). This asshat’s name is Kyle Tasker and he represents some district in New Hamsphire. And he’s embarrassing them big time every time he opens his mouth.

Again, look at the photo. This crappy story all started because another Republican named Mark Warden got raked over coals for being a sexist pig as well. According to TPM:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]The Huffington Post has a screenshot taken by Tucker with the full image of the Facebook discussion, including Tasker's post, here.

Rep. Mark Warden (R) was criticized for a comment he made last year during a hearing on a bill related to domestic violence laws.

“Some people could make the argument that a lot of people like being in abusive relationships," Warden said, according to WMUR News. "It's a love-hate relationship."

The New Hampshire Republican party would not defend Warden, according to the Huffington Post. Tasker and others on Monday started to discuss the state GOP's refusal to defend Warden on the Greater Nashua Tea Party's Facebook page.

Yes. . .all women being beaten LOOOOVE it, asshole. It has nothing to do with the fact that most are so terrified of their abuser they stay out of fear. No. . .it’s love/hate. Mark, do you still beat your wife? Or, are you just a massive sexist that you just brow-beat her?

Anyway, Kyle decided to defend this clown.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]"Warden is so principled it offends people," Tasker wrote on Facebook.

It’s principled to make stupid comments about domestic violence? Two weeks ago on the Top Ten, a Democrat in Texas running for District Attorney stated that those who are victims of domestic violence “need to learn how to box better.” Now a Republican does the same shit.

Unreal the loathing modern American politics have for women. But all is not lost. . .see, Tasker refuses to apologize.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]A New Hampshire state lawmaker is refusing to apologize for posting a sexually explicit image on Facebook about "battered women," saying it was never meant to be a joke and is being misconstrued.

Misconstrued? No. . .you’re an elected official. And the fucking joke isn’t funny, asshole.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]On Thursday, Tasker said he wasn't going to apologize for the post because his "intent was pure."

"I didn't mean that as a joke, it was a t-shirt print I thought was pretty ridiculous that someone would wear that around," Tasker said, according to WMUR.

Yes. . .pure. Pure horsecrap. My God. . .just apologize and then resign! Luckily the Democrats came out with a perfect response.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]"Every time we think a Republican member of the legislature has set a new low, another one does something worse," said state Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley.

Finally. . .this will get alot of negative press, but again, when the Obama Administration is wrong. . .it’s wrong and nothing will change that.

All this snooping and spying on Americans without warrants or probable cause needs to stop. And it needs to stop now. 9/11 did not invalidate the 4th amendment. And that’s not a pre-9/11 mindset. It’s a post-1776 mindset.

As does protecting torturers. I know, he let Bush and Cheney go free. We’re not surprised at that. But now he’s stopping the Senate from oversight.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]President Barack Obama’s administration has refused to release about 9,400 documents connected to the Senate Intelligence Committee investigation at the heart of an ongoing dispute with the Central Intelligence Agency, (CIA) McClatchy Newspapers reported on Wednesday.

The White House has allegedly rejected or ignored written and verbal requests for committee members to review the materials, which relate to the agency’s “enhanced interrogation” program shut down near the beginning of Obama’s presidency. Committee staff members allegedly first learned about the documents in 2009, but it is not clear whether the CIA granted them access to them before the White House made them unavailable.

Don’t worry. They will never see the light of day. Expect “national security” or “executive privilege to be used as an excuse.

All of this happened because Dianne Feinstein doesn’t like that the CIA broke into her computer in the Senate.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]The report comes a day after Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) publicly accused the agency of illegally searching Senate staff members’ computers. Feinstein has allegedly written several letters to Kathryn Ruemmler, the president’s chief legal advisor, asking her to mediate the dispute between the CIA and the committee, but has never gotten a response.

Why should Ruemmler respond? DiFi is just a Senator. . .she’s a nobody. A nothing. Besides, DiFi has had no problems when the CIA and the NSA illegally search everyday American’s computers, emails, text messages and what not. That’s acceptable. DiFi is a nobody. The average American is less than a nobody.

So, what did Obama do about this? HE did what he’s good at doing. Being an ostrich.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]In the president’s first remarks about the dispute since Dianne Feinstein, the chairwoman of the Senate intelligence accused the CIA of a cover-up and intimidation directed at her staff, Obama said it was not a matter for the White House to “wade into at this point”.

Yes. . .why should the White House investigate something an agency in the Executive Branch does? It has better things to do. . .like putting medical marijuana dispensary owners in prison and telling teachers they are at the bottom of the barrel.

But in the end, Obama’s lawyer met with DiFi for a heart-to-heart chat.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]White House spokesman Jay Carney confirmed that CIA Director John Brennan and the CIA's acting general counsel both referred the Senate's treatment of classified documents to the Justice Department for a possible criminal investigation.

Feinstein says that referral is merely an attempt to intimidate the intelligence committee’s staff, whom she claims was acting appropriately. The California Democrat was particularly incensed because the CIA lawyer who asked for the criminal investigation was himself the subject of the probe into interrogation practices.

The article says pretty much nothing, so good reporting, NBC News. Way to carry the water of the United States government. After this was over, DiFi went to the airwaves and said “You little American peons deserve to get spied on. If you didn’t want to be spied upon, you should have been born a United States Senator,” while President Obama did another photo op with Mr. And Mrs. Beyonce Knowles at a fund raiser where people paid $40K a piece for a plate of chips and runny, fake nacho cheese.

Sometimes, this president does things that one can truly support. Then he pulls this crap. And the cynical attitudes of his base thinking he abandoned them come right back. Too bad he, and the rest of the Democrats in power, don’t care.

And yes, I read the Rude Pundit. There's a big difference. HE'S FUNNY!!! You're not. Sorry.

There's another difference. He writes as himself for himself. The Top 10, whether it's meant to be this way or not, represents DU. I'm embarrassed to be a DU'er when it's defined by things like this. We could be and should be better than that.
