Man, Freeper heads are definitely exploding!!...
ThinkProgress:
"...After yesterdays Supreme Court ruling upholding the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act, conservative politicians turned on Chief Justice John Roberts for siding with liberal justices and ruling the mandate constitutionally sound. Critics of the decision even edited his Wikipeida page to call him a chief traitor and coward, and suggested his epilepsy medicine cause cognitive problems. Conservative commentator Glenn Beck got in on the action, labeling the chief justice the Dread Pirate Roberts and quickly setting up his online store to sell a tee shirt with Robertss face and the word coward below above it. Heres a picture of the shirt, on sale for a mere $30:
THIRTY BUCKS? THATS ALL?

repigs come in 3 flavors:
1) the 0.01% - the bosses - they give the orders
2) the 1% - the grifters in the middle - they harvest money from group #3, and relay the orders from group #1 to group #3, below
3) the 99% - the sheep - who follow orders, love billionaires, and hate America

I know it has been a long time since I've seen the movie, The Princess Bride, but I thought the good guy became the Dread Pirate Roberts before going home to get the girl.

(22,308 posts)6. There were many Dread Pirates Roberts
One would retire and hand the name down to the next one when they got a new crew. Over and over again.
Yes, the hero was also one of the Dread Pirates Roberts.
