Gasland is often cited as indisputable fact, and the “lighting tap water on fire” part is usually the “dramatic” evidence that people cite when pointing out the danger of fracking. With that in mind, watch this. Now why would he … Continue reading
Here’s 2011′s spending by the federal government… What do you notice? 63 percent of federal budget goes toward entitlement programs. Ponder that for a minute. We often hear that defense spending is breaking our backs. To an extent there’s some … Continue reading
Notice the sultry stalking crawl from under the piano like she meant for it to go down that way? Yeah… Sure ya did… Reminds me of another famous ass-busting moment… How about you?
When in trouble, blame someone else… Short story: PR guy sends a tweet from his account about Detroiters not knowing how to drive with a certain explitive in it. Agency dumps guy, Chrysler dumps agency. Guy then blames Tweetdeck, the … Continue reading
Every time we hear about some union prick in Wisconsin who’s sad they have to contribute to their pension and health care now (God forbid!), we hear about how so many people are rich and how if only they would … Continue reading
It’s astonishing how many factual inaccuracies she manages to pack into a single video. Luckily, this dude does something she obviously doesn’t. He reads. Watch the whole thing. It’s very educational.
What’s with the South and their guns? A middle-class enclave on the South Shore of the city’s southernmost borough is the gun capital of New York, with 509 residents — or about one in every 57 males — legally packing … Continue reading

I can’t even begin to argue the logic because, at least to me, it’s spot-on. Tax payer money shouldn’t be used to fund art and museums to begin with, but also people have a right to be angered when their … Continue reading
A checkpoints at airports are at the front lines of preventing terrorism. When you go through security, you expect to be scanned and searched. And you expect TSA to prevent contraband from getting on planes, but as we’ve learned, that … Continue reading
President Obama has been lying, with the aid of his media lackeys, since the Citizens United decision was handed down. Finally someone jumped in to point out exactly how devoid of truth The Great Onetm really is. You should read … Continue reading
My good friend Kahlil Lechelt posted this in response to IT.tv Episode 320. I absolutely love it. As many of you know, I’m a huge fan of Jason and this just solidifes why. I could listen to this 1000 times … Continue reading

The government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. -Ronald Reagan
And guess which one wasn’t a complete claptrap of biased insanity? Before the totals, my opinion: Olbermann’s usual mien is mean – scowling. O’Reilly’s typically laughing, too often at one of his juvenile jokes. Both are narcissists who take themselves … Continue reading
Tim Pawlenty: Today, for the first time, the United States will appear before the UN Human Rights Council and defend our human rights record to Cuba, Libya, China, and Saudi Arabia. This is where diplomacy meets farce. Instead of joining … Continue reading
