insignificant thoughts

God this just made me want to stand up and cheer…

First watch this:

Then watch this:

Found this site, and apparently the whole point is that you’re randomly connected with someone and you can chat with them anonymously. So I clicked the link and this is the conversation that ensued…

For once I got to make someone’s day instead of ruining it. Nice change of pace

The question was a very simple one. If the President’s and Congress’ plan for the health care system is going to make it tougher for insurance companies, and if it’s as consumer-focused as they say it is, why are insurance company stock prices climbing so fast?

The answer, which Schultz would never give, is that [...]

Sen. Tom Coburn, the Oklahoma Republican who developed a close friendship with President Obama when they served together in the Senate, is threatening to have the entire health care bill read on the Senate floor.

Senior Senate Democratic aides had heard Coburn was considering having potentially thousands of pages read aloud in effort to stall passage. [...]

From CNN:

Reverend Al Sharpton and his lawyers say they are preparing to file a defamation lawsuit against conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh for an op-ed published Saturday, which Sharpton alleges “erroneously” characterizes his (Sharpton’s) role in a string of violent incidents in New York in the early 90’s.

In the op-ed published in Saturday’s Wall Street [...]

Jon-Barrett Ingels was fired as a waiter thanks in large part to Jane Smith. The co-star of HBO’s Hung couldn’t pay her check, then failed to tip when she did. The waiter complained on Twitter; Smith complained to his boss.

Ingles, reports the Los Angeles Times, was then fired

Apparently, she said she was going out to [...]

I watched with great amusement as SC Rep. Joe Wilson called the President a liar during his televised address to Congress. The reactions were so good that I couldn’t have done a more accurate acting job if you shot me in the leg.

The Democrats and their willing propaganda arm (ie: our illustrious media) immediately [...]

I read something this morning I won’t even bother linking back to because it was such bull it wasn’t worth the 3 minutes of my time it actually took to read.

If you haven’t already watched IT.tv Episode 52, go back and do it. I’ll post it below for your easy reference.

Keeping that video in [...]

So Barack Obama wrote and Op-Ed in The NY Times pushing his health care plan (I thought they didn’t like when politicians published advocacy pieces that don’t expound “new information” in the Op-Ed section?), and with his usual rhetorical flair manages to publish complete crap, wrap it in niceties and feel-goodness, and make everyone cheer [...]

Why isn’t the mainstream media devoting half hour specials and phone in analysis to Obama and Biden the way they did to Hillary Clinton when she told her tale of being under sniper fire?

So far, to recap, we have Joe Biden’s helicopter being forced down in Afghanistan by Al Qaeda (it wasn’t, it was forced [...]

Yet another Obama lie dismantled with his own words.

Good thing our mainstream media is on the case, huh?

Oh right, the economy is fine now because The Great Onetm wants to talk about health care instead.

The best thing about having Barack Obama as President is that you never have to rebut his points. You can just use his words to do it.

Oh well. Let’s see what the next lie is…

From Beth’s uncle:

It is the month of June; a resort town sits next to the shores of a large lake. It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted. It is tough times, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.

Suddenly, a rich, fat-cat tourist comes to town.

He enters the [...]

Essentially… “As black people, we can’t achieve anything if white people don’t give it to us.” I’m open to other interpretations of what he said here, but to me that sounds pretty damn close.

And we’re meant to believe this race baiting piece of garbage was civil to a police officer?

Remember when Religulous was being touted as a great must-see documentary by the morons in the media? It was cunningly funny, biting, and evenly critical of all religions (even though it wasn’t)?

Joe Neumaier of the NY Daily News practically orgasmed over Maher’s perceived brilliance…

“I’m only asking questions,” says comic/professional provocateur Bill Maher in “Religulous.” [...]

It’s obvious he’s checking that chick in the magenta dress out. Reuters, however, would not allow the obvious to taint their caption…

Even when he does something somewhat funny, we dare not criticize the Great One.

I readily admit that I’m enjoying watching the decline of Leo Laporte’s sanity over the past few years. It started on the Twit Forums when he started getting snippy with people who were paying to be there for daring to say not everything he did was perfect. Then he shut down those same [...]
