Mr. Scorpio
Mr. Scorpio's JournalIn today's over-excited phone call from the Romney campaign, they begged for 50 million dollars
Apparently, Sandy has distracted attention away from the wonderful job that Romney was doing to get out the conservative vote in the swing states and now a fresh infusion of cash is needed
Said Mister Over-Excited Guy.
A fresh 50 mil will do the trick, and in return for pressing the "1" button that I didn't press, they were going to send me an "I Voted Romney" bumper sticker
A great gag gift for sure.
You can just smell the desperation, People. It seems that his game is so fake that even a natural disaster sets him back.
So much for his ability to exploit opportunities as they come.
It's in the bag for the Prez, Folks.
It's Halloween, time to dress up as a Freeper again

A new report released last week on DeSmogBlog unravels a scheme that funnels money from the notorious Koch Brothers and the reclusive Chicago industrialist Barre Seid through a third party organization, which in turn makes anonymous donations in the millions to right-wing policy think-tanks.
In a nutshell, the 200+ page report by Silicon valley scientist Dr. John Mashey shows in great detail how the Koch brothers and Barre Seid flow money through two organizations called Donor Trust and Donors Capital Fund, which in turn passes that money on to major right-wing think-tanks like the American Enterprise Institute, Heartland Institute and Americans for Prosperity.
This money is then used for coordinated efforts to fight things like environmental regulations and the scientific realities of climate change.
In total over $311 million has been put through the Donors Trust and Donors Capital Fund with much of that coming from David and Charles Koch and Barre Seid.
Here's a summary of findings:
- The report presents evidence that confirms the speculation that Chicago Industrialist Barre Seid has pumped millions into the Heartland Institute's "global warming projects" to boost their efforts to fight climate change science [page 57].
- Money from Barre Seid was pushed through Donors Trust to funded a major expansion of the Heartland Institute to help in their public relations efforts to deny the realities of climate change.
- Shows how the majority of the Donors Capital Board is made up of right wing think tanks heads that also were heavily involved in the fight for Big Tobacco in the 1990's
- Exposes another philanthropic vehicle established by the Koch Brothers called the "Knowledge and Progress Fund" - this fund has moved over $7m through Donors Trust [page 71].
- All funds that go through Donors Trust become tax deductions for the donors with much of that money going to political causes and policy fights.
- Other major recipients of Donors Trust money are: Americans for Prosperity, American Enterprise Institute, Acton Institute, Cato Institute, Pacific Research Institute for Public Policy and the Media Research Center.

Groove Armada - Remember
Leave it to the Scots to do this…
The worlds strongest beer at 65%. Ingredients include crystal malt, wheat, flaked oats and of course 100% Scottish spring water. We then freeze ferment the beer to bring up the ABV. Consume this like a fine whisky.
Despite being 65%, the beer has a lot of flavour - malty, hoppy, slightly sweet and lots of yeast still in the beer. Be careful though, smelling it is probably enough to put you over the limit!

Sandy: Gangnam Style
Take it out for its walk…
It's amazing to see humanity in Chris Christie when he's not being an asshole
It had to take a major disaster for this to happen in him.
When the shit hits the fan, being an asshole won't get you anywhere. The rest of the GOP would benefit from Christie's example.
