Find any guy with a misspelled protest sign, a gun around his waist, a teabagger hat and either a staring eagle or Don't Tread on Me shirt and he will probably tell you that the number of people who don't pay income taxes has "doubled" since 1970 or whenever. Well, for one, it hasn't actually doubled but at it's lowest point to it's highest point it is close. And of course, what they won't tell you is that of the 235,413 taxpayers earning $1 million or more in 2009,1,470 of them were part of that number that paid 0 taxes! But that's ok because they are rich and the government should only take money from people who can't afford it.

I am so tired of hearing from the tea baggers about how Obama ran up our debt and increased spending and is going to bankrupt the United States...It is true that spending under Obama has increased but I want to clear up all the misconceptions that you tea baggers have about how you are manipulating numbers to try and prove your point.

The bottom line is this: OBAMA HAS ONLY SUBMITTED TWO BUDGETS! THE 2010 and 2011 BUDGET. BUSH SUBMITTED THE 2009 BUDGET of $3.1 Trillion.

Apparently there was a Teabagger convention in Nashville the other day where Sarah Palin was the Keynote speaker.

Aside from a bunch of people who say they can't afford anymore taxes paying over $500 for a ticket to the convention, does anyone see anything else wrong with this situation?? Sarah Palin??? Speaking at a Convention for people who don't want to pay taxes and want to cut government spending??

Ok, I know you have heard all these idiots who got 20" of snow...in the north eastern US...in February, and all of the sudden they think that means that either the Earth is getting colder or that it isn't getting warmer. Now, being the ethnocentric, over zealous, reactionary, fly by the seat of their pants, "I feel it in my gut", go along with the in-crowd who can't see the world beyond their own back yard that my conservative friends always seem to be, that is completely opposite of what they have been saying over the last few years where they actually conceded that the Earth was warming but it couldn't possibly have anything to do with greenhouse gases or man's activities and it is just a natural cycle of the planet (which it is but not now, we should be close to approaching another ice age if anything).

Ok, we have all grown tired of the Obama/teleprompter jokes and we all know that almost everyone giving a speech uses a teleprompter including Bush, Reagan, etc. But what gets me is that people have started saying that becuase Rush Limbaugh didn't use a teleprompter (he used notes instead) at the CPAC convention, it means he would easily defeat Barack Obama in a debate. I know, its funny but I figured I would lay out both men's qualifications when it comes to debating policy so everyone would be clear on the subject:

Hey GM! Guess what? That 14 million dollars you paid your CEO Rick Wagoner last year? You might as well handed out that money to everyone who was unfortunate enough to buy one of your cars because what has he done to earn that money? Send you into bankruptcy? I have an idea, hire me instead.

Chicago, IL - In a surprise press conference on Wednesday, UIC Professor and former member of the Weather Underground, Bill Ayers, announced his support for John McCain for President. Ayers told the press that, in his eyes, John McCain is the only candidate shares his goal for America: its complete and utter destruction.

I am sure you are tired of hearing about how we don't really know everything about Barack Obama and how dangerous it is to elect someone with such a mysterious, exotic, past. Well, I am not here to shed more light on Barack Obama but there is plenty known about McCain's true past. Here it is:

-John McCain was born in Panama in 1936. He is 71 Years old

There are a sect of Christians and sects of every major religion called fundamentalists. These are people who believe every word in the Bible (or Quran or Torah) and believe that is the unedited, literal word of God. They say that if you don't follow or believe what the book says, you will go to hell and Satan will ass rape you with his pitch fork for eternity. They also believe that this author, this God, is all knowing, all loving and perfect. The funny thing is I would find it easier for people who don't read the Bible to believe that nonsense than the people who do read the Bible. Even if you read the first few verses of the Bible you will find errors and contradictions that an all knowing perfect God should have been able to at least fact check and submit to his editor.

Since there are people who believe that non-believers should be killed, that homosexuality is an abomination,that the Earth is as old as the Bible says it is and that Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs to Church every Sunday; here is how absurd the world would be if it was as it is written in the Bible:

I am sure you have or will see this chain letter at some point in your life. Its a dumbed down version of how the US tax system supposedly works. Here is the way most people saw it:

Understanding the Tax System:
This is a VERY simple way to understand the tax laws.
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for dinner. The bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

If you, as I have over the past few months, watched any of the Republican debates or heard any of those candidates speeches, you are probably under the impression that former President Ronald Reagan must have been a 9 foot tall, floating Messiah with a 13" man pump who shat lumps of gold and single handedly took down the Soviet Union, eliminated taxes, forced our enemies into submission and led the US to it's economic pinnacle never to be matched again (until Clinton came into office). That is if you didn't actually live in the eighties and or you have a brain. All I keep hearing Romney and McCain talk about, and the only thing that puts more wood in the pants of the Republican base than water boarding people who don't pray in school, is how they are going to lead us back to the glory years of Reagan. WWRD (What Would Reagan DO), many of them say when they talk about Iraq, keeping the Bush tax cuts in place and national security. As many people have pointed out, Reagan wasn't really all that Reaganesque and where they are getting this load of monkey feces is beyond me.

From AOL: http://news.aol.com/...

As I am sure everyone has heard, the City of Berkeley California has allowed the organization Code Pink, to commandeer a parking spot once per week in front of a Marines Recruiting center in efforts to protest the Iraq war and keep locals from risking their life in the Marine Corps. The city counsel also sought legal advice on how to oust the recruiting center calling them "uninvited, unwelcome intruders".
