"Walk, Walk, Walk It Back, Gently Down The Stream...."

The Assault in high school, Anglo-Saxongate, "You People," UK Olympics, Poland, Israel, "I like firing people," Taxgate, Baingate, and now "Obamacare is really Obamneycare."

It's been an endless parade of "what I meant to say was...." and "I was taken out of context..." and "a spokesperson for the Romney campaign had to clarify......"

Seriously?

Indeed, life is but a dream.

The hateful disconnect is already apparent. Comments I've seen regarding the WI shooting

"Here we go again! Blame the white guy."

"you just know they're going to say he's a republican."

"Obama will milk this for at least a month."


HEY, ASSHATS: EYEWITNESSES SAID THE SHOOTER WAS BALD AND WHITE WITH A HEAVY BUILD. POLICE OFFICIALS SAID THAT HIS TATTOOS MAY IDENTIFY HIM AS A BEING WITH A GROUP OF WHITE POWER EXTREMISTS.

THIS ISN'T THE "LIBERAL MEDIA" MAKING SHIT UP, YOU STUPID FUCKING MORONS.

Right Wingers: If it were Obama's tax returns that were in question, what would Rush, et.al. say?

What would they be demanding right now? How relentless would their attacks be if Boehner had "implied" that he had inside information, and with a Fox reporter to corroborate the source? Would it be about politics then?

edited to add: seriously: Rev. Wright, Birth Certificate, Fast and Furious, Solyndra...

memo to "you people." We know Obama's got money. We think he earned it alot more than your guy did. He hasn't been shady about hiding it, and he isn't cavalier when it comes to the "horsey set."

Oh and his policies work alot better than yours.

Maybe you'd rather have the chick-fil-a sandwich.

Oh, Mitt? Just in case....



It's even toll-free!

If people think that "taking the moral high ground" is about consuming fatty, deep-fried,

sodium-filled, cholesterol-ridden (not to mention "pickled&quot fast food chicken because it comes from "their kind of business," well OK then.

Their "artist's rendering":



The stark reality:



A break down of "nutritional content:"

I'm not getting all high and mighty about nutrition, but just remember that, in typical fashion, these yokels can be counted upon to do something stupid like put this kind of crap into their bodies in the name of their "right to be a bigot": It's nothing more than "Heygrandpawhat'sforsuppergoodoldredwhiteandblueAmericanfamilyrednecklarrythecableguybigbellywhythehellweneedprilosec" food.

Their gastric antics aren't going to make anyone with sense forget that they also think they're the only ones entitled to free speech. It must only apply to them, after all, seeing as how no one's rights have actually been infringed upon, except the gay community and its right to be a part of the American experience.....well, such that it is, obviously.

Motel 6 TV displays racial slur on TV

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/31/motel-6-racial-slur_n_1720762.html?1343747954

Joseph Ross, a Dayton, Ohio, resident, got an unwelcome "welcome" this weekend when he checked into a Motel 6 in the nearby town of Sharonville, where he planned to attend a jazz festival.

Ross told WCPO that he switched on the television in his room only to be greeted with an on-screen racial slur: "Hello N****r!"

*snip*

On its website, the Cincinnati NAACP said that the Dayton chapter "independently called the location to ask if the Motel 6 had on their TV broadcast 'Hello N*****s.' The person who answered the phone confirmed the information was true but provided no explanation or clarity of why.

Chicken is supposed to be FUN!

Shame on you, Chick Fil-A, for taking the FUN out of the FUN CHICKEN.

Loving every minute of it!

Isn't it just grand that Obama doesn't have to say ANYTHING about Romney's Londonderry Errs? The British press and the Twittosphere will say it all for him.

Meanwhile, the graceful-beyond-compare First Lady, without uttering one word of offense toward the Romney campaign, steals his bungled news cycle and places it back where it belongs....ON THE OLYMPICS.

"Yeah, mate. That's more like it."

I must say that I find myself intrigued by this "Steampunk" Aesthetic.

I started to notice it around 2007. It seems like a natural progression of "Goth" churned through the culture of the Harry Potter generation, who are now entering college.
