I did some research. Apparently the binder clip has the same effect that a mother’s bite does (ever see a mom move her kittens?), it disables some muscle movement and can calm a cat down (it’s probably really awesome if your cat is fidgety and has to take medication).

Of course you should never do this if you aren’t 100% certain what you’re doing; you wouldn’t want to hurt your kitty!

Techcrunch has the rest of the story…

Incidentally, Entenmann’s later apologized…

Lesson learned: Don’t spam the hashtags.

I am pleased to inform you that the North New Jersey Tea Party Group assisted in an investigation conducted by the non-profit, non-partisan Education Action Group Foundation. Together, we have proof that the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) — the notorious government-sector teachers’ union — has tens of thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes, going all the way back to 2005.

The documentation showing this to be the case can be viewed at:

Yes — the same government-sector union with an unending appetite for raising YOUR taxes, along with those of millions of your fellow New Jerseyans, has not paid its taxes!!!

As Andrew Wilkow always says, “That’s because socialism is for the people, not the socialists.”

Anyway, here’s what Blockbuster was making their employees suffer through.

Oh man. Deliciously awful.

Homeopathy is bullshit.

Period.

The measure is known as an act “to provide for an individual mandate to adult citizens to provide for the self defense of themselves and others.”

Rep. Hal Wick, R-Sioux Falls, is sponsoring the bill and knows it will be killed. But he said he is introducing it to prove a point that the federal health care reform mandate passed last year is unconstitutional.

“Do I or the other cosponsors believe that the State of South Dakota can require citizens to buy firearms? Of course not. But at the same time, we do not believe the federal government can order every citizen to buy health insurance,” he said.

The point is valid; if the government can force you to buy one private product (ie: health insurance), then they can force you to buy any private product (ie: a gun). Funny thing is, it’ll be harder to argue the gun law seeing as gun ownership is a protected Constitutional right and health care is not.

Normally I would be annoyed at a showboating move like this, but if the court rules (like others have) that you can’t force someone to buy something, it’ll be a tough precedent to avoid once the health care legislation legal fight really starts happening.

And.

Out.

If you’ve been paying attention, it would be very apparent that government revenue has very little bearing on government expenditure. If it did, we wouldn’t have 1.3 trillion dollar budget deficit and a national debt nearing 14 trillion. To make the claim that the Federal government can’t find room for a higher pay raise for the military because they have failed to adequately adjust their revenue, especially in light of all of that borrowing and money printing they have no problem engaging in for other expenditures,  is the height of dishonesty.

After slamming Fox for donating to Republicans, Olbermann is suspended for donating to Democrats. Haha. You hypocritical jizz bucket.

This story has brought me so much joy…

Sorry, but you really do look this stupid.

(Thanks Deb!)

If he had made that joke about Mohammed, his head would’ve been cut off by now.

That’s twice this week that Stewart blew my mind. Maybe he really is much smarter than I gave him credit for all those years.

Then watch this:

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

The answer, which Schultz would never give, is that the insurance companies see this as a huge opportunity to get new customers while the government subsidizes them. You don’t have to be a stock analyst (as she says) to understand that, you just have to be honest and state what’s in front of your face. I think that part, the honesty part, is the one politicians always have and always will have trouble with.

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. “If he did this it would be even outrageous for a guy who’s become known as Dr. No around here,” one of them told POLITICO.

Coburn’s office confirmed that he is indeed thinking about having the bill read.

“That’s a possibility,” Coburn spokesman John Hart said. “He wants to make sure everyone has a chance to read the bill.”

It’s a shame that the only way people will actually read this bill before it’s passed is to force it to be read, aloud, like children, on the floor.

For many people who were voting yes (or no) I’m sure this will be the first time they’ve “read” it.
