Can't watch it. I tried, but as I watched, I could feel brain cells dying the longer the MSNBC yuks talked...

Big Government : Obama: ‘I Didn't Over Promise’…‘I Don't Control the Weather’

Sun, 11 Dec 2011 20:03:13 +0000

"Would you like to see the bullet proof formula that catapulted him to victory in 2008? 1). Election 2). ??? 3). Utopia" So he's sort of the presidential version of the Underpants Gnomes? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBiSI6OdqvA

Anyone else click on the link to the story and get a "File has been moved or deleted" page?

Big Peace : Did Chemical Blasts Bring Down The Twin Towers?

Thu, 22 Sep 2011 06:43:53 +0000

I beg to differ - the pressure of the NY water system just isn't powerful enough to get water up above a certain level, so in order for floors above that level to actually have water, they must pump the water up into holding tanks on the roof of the skyscraper. It's why there are so many water towers on the roofs of the buildings in the city. Now, I may not be an expert on how the towers overcame that obstacle, but considering that the most economical method of getting water pressure on those tall floors is to pump it into a holding tank and let gravity provide the pressure rather than leaving an incredibly expensive pump going all the time, I'm assuming that they pumped water into holding tanks. So in short, I'm willing to bet that there WERE sprinklers even if the supply lines were cut since there would have been water in the holding tanks. Not that I'm agreeing with the explanation or a conspiracy nut - I'm just saying that the explosion explanation presented is still valid.

Big Peace : Brad Thor's Best Yet: Full Black

One of Brad's best books! It's hard not to read it in one sitting if you are easily sucked into a good book! And this is indeed a good book!

Big Government : Ex-Union Member Fights $200,000 Union Fine For Working Non-Union

Sun, 31 Jul 2011 15:25:14 +0000

All too often, unions seem to be just glorified and extortion rackets, protected by law and the politicians they routinely buy off. The image they prop up of benevolent crusaders for the little guy can't hold up forever when they pull this kind of idiotic BS.

Big Government : Reason.tv: Fox News' Juan Williams on School Choice

Sun, 31 Jul 2011 04:21:33 +0000

I give up - you win. Whatever you want to think, I don't care. Just let the issue drop. I was not trying to be confrontational, whatever you may think. I'll assume you weren't either and that I misconstrued your further statements. Anything to end this farcical nonsense...

Big Government : Reason.tv: Fox News' Juan Williams on School Choice

Sat, 30 Jul 2011 21:04:43 +0000

I'm not playing any games, and I think you might want to back down a few notches. All I did was point out that your comment could be misconstrued. If you want to pick a fight, go pick one with a progressive.

Big Government : Reason.tv: Fox News' Juan Williams on School Choice

Sat, 30 Jul 2011 16:51:23 +0000

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you just misspoke, but you might want to rethink that "genetically incapable" remark. It can be taken in a very, very bad light...

Big Government : Reason.tv: Fox News' Juan Williams on School Choice

Sat, 30 Jul 2011 15:57:22 +0000

Emphasis on slowly, though. He's still fairly well hooked on a lot of progressive BS. If you see him on Hannity's Great American Panel or The O'Reilly Factor he can still unleash a torrent of the usual leftist fantasy. Ah well, I guess I can be patient, though...

Big Government : Reason.tv: Fox News' Juan Williams on School Choice

Sat, 30 Jul 2011 15:41:22 +0000

Juan Williams honestly gets me angry when I hear him express his opinions at times, but the miraculous thing is that when the debate ends, I'm no longer angry and I can genuinely like the guy. It's a real shame the left figuratively chased him off with a stick. The left needs more Juan Williams types - the ones who are honest, reasonable and civil in their beliefs and debate tactics rather than Machiavellian and blurring the line of demarcation between sanity and lunacy. Matter of fact, I sometimes think that there are some conservatives who could learn the same lesson... Which brings me to the content of this article - This is one of the few times I am full-on headlong in agreement with Juan! School choice, especially in areas like Washington DC where the public school system is a wasteland, is desperately needed, especially for lower income neighborhoods!

Breitbart.tv : Rep. Paul Ryan Destroys Reid Bill in Blistering Speech; 'Let's Cover the Moon with Yogurt!'

Sat, 30 Jul 2011 15:30:38 +0000

And the Republicans are the ones who are being "intractable" and "refuse to compromise?" Someone please tell me why Boehner is even trying... The only thing he's doing is letting the Dems take potshots at him...

Big Journalism : Sound Bite for the Day: Comfortable Bar Stools

Wed, 27 Jul 2011 18:34:31 +0000

First off, libel is the act of defamation in a written form and slander is the spoken form, so slander would be what you're after here. Second off, you have to prove that the act of defamation caused substantive and measurable harm to win the case, and at this point partisan rancor is so rampant I don't think the case would stick since nobody watches MSNBC who doesn't already believe that tripe...

MSNBC with their typical class and intellectual depth. Why are we watching this blowhard?

Big Government : Desperation: House Dems Urge Obama to Unilaterally Lift the Debt Ceiling

Wed, 27 Jul 2011 18:17:21 +0000

If we actually looked at intent when judging the framework of the constitution as was originally intended instead of this "living document" nonsense, then this would not be an issue. The clause they're talking about in the 14th amendment was written to essentially say "the union ain't paying for the confederacy's debt, nor will it ever pay for the debt incurred by anyone who tries to secede." I hate the lawyer mentality - the twisting and torturing of words just to get your own way...

Big Hollywood : Trailer Talk: 'The Muppets' Has Potential

If there are political cheap shots, I just pray that I can overlook them... I love the Muppets too much to miss this!

Big Journalism : Olbermann: Allen West Is a "Bash*t Crazy Bully" Who Would "Shoot People" on TV

Wed, 20 Jul 2011 18:01:46 +0000

Wait, wait, wait, WAIT!!!!!!!! ...Is Olberman on TV again? ...Can you even call Current "on TV?" I mean, that "network" barely draws more viewers than your average hamster cage...

Big Government : Obama’s Labor Board: We Prosecute Dead People Too…

Thu, 14 Jul 2011 17:23:57 +0000

Did I miss the opening credits? Are we in a Mel Brooks movie or something?! No, it can't be... Mel Brooks would wrap something like this in a screwball plot - and since I don't see President Skroob and the Spaceballs here, I have to assume that I'm in a waking nightmare worse than I originally thought it was...

Big Hollywood : Whoopi Gets Facts Wrong in Bizarre Racial Rant Against Michele Bachmann

Tue, 12 Jul 2011 17:32:43 +0000

Sometimes Dana's syntax isn't the best - what she said was "We’ve become the first industrialized nation to outlaw slavery, to elect a black president...", and what I believe she meant was We've become the first industrialized nation that has ended slavery to elect a black president. Even there, though, she is unfortunately incorrect as Nelson Mandela preceded Obama as a Chief Executive. And I could also be wrong. I like Dana, but I think she's definitely got something wrong in her statement here, unfortunately.
