No one comes close to the GOP when it comes to lies and dishonesty. How can one in any position of leadership or authority spew a line like this? No matter how disappointing Obama is (and is certain to be), this is a reminder both how worse a GOP president would be as well as how far this nation has fallen thanks to the rightist radicals.

American Justice.

Assholes: Climate change (corporate-paid) deniers.

FAIL: The Times works up to panic us about America being crushed by debt repayment with a page 1 story, written by a man who had no clue about his finances. And it’s not just I who thinks the pieces is, well, wrong; the Times’ own Prof. K. also thinks it’s crap. Way to go Times! Quality journalism that we need — absent from your front page.

But I completely disagree with the professor on this: He thinks Team Oneterma is scare by the Titans of Wall Street. I say that it’s clear from their backgrounds that their just whores, whoring for their real masters, working for big payoffs.

For that matter, I disagree with his modesty, as it were, in failing to name his employer as one of the guilty for promoting lies instead of reporting truth.

Another Big Media sicko. Vile. Worthless.

FailThe Washington Post officially becomes the DC insiders’ house organ, no longer interested in the rest of America.

Assholes: The AP. When they steal, it’s fair use. When they’re quoted, it’s stealing. (Actually, I could defend them a bit if their position wasn’t implemented so obnoxiously.)

Assholes promoting stupidity.

Query: Do you have to be incredibly stupid to write (and publish) imbecilic crap like this or just a deliberate liar who has such contempt for the readership?

The real threat of 2012.

If Beloved Leader and Oneterma have all the money to piss away on the speculating destroyers, the least President Fail can do is get us all these:

Or this one (a choice, not an echo — exactly):

You doubt Oneterma is President Fail? Here’s another sign the economy is far worse than the official story is covering up.

Well, does this explain how America got to its present state?

Another success for Micro$oft in its efforts to turn out inexcusably crappy product.

Point of fact: This is what Verizon must deal with before it can slam AT&T.A joke that is funny and profound.

This implicitly confirms my theory that a significant mount of the initial sales of the iPhone when it first rolled out were to people who couldn’t afford a computer and $50.00 a month broadband. The iPhone was a cheaper alternative.

The next big collapse of housing is starting? This recession will be W-shaped? And there’s worse.

See: The road to hell.

You’d think a black man would know something about, you know, convicting someone before trial…. Pre-judgment is OK with Barack Obama! Maybe Sarah Palin has him scared so he’s pandering (futilely) to her base?

And here’s another FAIL Obama supports — right til defeat in 2012, I’m sure.

Speaking of President Palin, she’s on! Someone else thinks she can get nominated. As I posted, I can easily see her winning in 2012. I guess once one gets in the habit of shitting on one’s base, one just can’t change. “Oneterma Obama”. Kinda like the sound of that and it’s a distinct possibility. His line of shit worked against someone hated in mid-crisis attributed to his administration. But how good will it be when he’s the hated incumbent?

As for Queen Sarah, the 18 (actual number too near infinity to count easily) biggest lies in her book of lies is here. More lies here. And you, too, can be Queen Sarah.

Queen Sarah has failed, to my knowledge, to explain her repeated shitting on supporters:

More on the video here.

Here: Matt Taibbi gives us Why Sarah Palin Rules for Dummies. Even simpler: 2012 is hers to lose.

This, of course, is the Queen Sarah I really like:

Did the queen quit office to get enhanced? (I think she quit so when she runs in 2012, no one could accuse her of spending the past couple of years having been an inept governor, but that’s just my opinion.)

In any case, we clearly need her leadership.

Big Journalism FAILS: What we’ll lose when it dies: Inept coverage of Joe Lieberman. (There is only one story about him that will matter and it will be covered no matter what happens to “the press”: the end of any public career for him.)Fellating the GOPMissing or failing on all the big, important stories, like these: Really everything that has to do with the economic crisis, like this. Or writing stupidly insane crap like this.

Organized religions are of course fascistic but this is a new low. (On the other hand, it’s the same religion that, when confronted by abuse and molestation, somehow manages to lose all moral balance.)

Home of the brave kangaroo court.

WTF?

The punishment for tasering a 10 year old girl? A week’s paid vacation, of course. So crime does pay!

The OS equivalent of an online office suite that’s still grossly undercooked compared to on-the-computer office suites? Who cares, at least til it’s of comparable quality?

Meanwhile, it looks like maybe insecurity was built into Win7…. And Micro$oft is China’s running dog lackey, censoring Bing queries at the gumint’s request. Even as the Chinese keep hacking our military.

We will invent, not speculate, our way out this economic disaster:

The real death panels: The corrupt system that allows this and nothing is done to punish those who commit the errors or limit them or, for that matter, do anything to reform the system to reduce the number of errors. (Actually, the focus is on preventing the victims from obtaining restitution.)From the site: On August 13, 2007, Merlyna Adams – a school principal from La Place, Louisiana – experienced a sharp pain in her right side. The next day, her primary care doctor ordered a CT scan, which revealed that she had a 10mm kidney stone. Over the next few days, she was transferred to several different hospitals. At the fourth hospital, she remained in ICU for nearly three weeks. Her body developed sepsis, a complication caused by infection. She suffered congestive heart failure, renal failure and pulmonary failure. The restricted blood flow to her hands and feet required her to have both legs amputated below the knee and she lost both hands. She is unable to engage in everyday tasks like brushing her teeth, taking a bath, eating or using the restroom without another person.

98,000 patients are killed annually by medical errors. That’s like two 737s crashing every day for a whole year. Would we blame the passengers or the airlines? Tort law changes won’t fix health care. Tell Congress to put patients first. There are 98,000 reasons why you should. 98000reasons.org

I have his last album, done a couple of years ago, and he still had his mojo. An incredible talent. (And all praise to the guitar he invented!)

Seriously: What’s the difference between Ronnie Raygun in the 70s and Sarah Palin? I mean, other than she’ll be even worse for ournation than the father of the speculation economy?

Then there’s the rule about never underestimating the American voter.

Thanks to Barack Obama, Palin’d chances are excellent. She’s electable.

More justice here. Must have been great to taser a 10 year old.

Corporate assholes: Pzifer goes to the Supreme Court to screw New London, then craps on the town.

Have I said yet in this post that Faux News isn’t news, just lies?

Teachers sell lesson plans to their students for side money. How could this possibly be right?

This bothers me. Is Lynne Stewart a dope getting what she deserves? Is the government grossly scapegoating her? Both? A mix?

Now this is really something for the RIAA and it’s idiot members to really worry about. Oh, wait, it’s easier to prey on the weak than do anything positive for music and the industry of, you know, getting the stuff out there and heard.

One aspect of the collapse of Western Civilization.

God bless the corporate tax cheats.

Life is respected in America. Not.

Another sign of the collapse is this piece of imbecilic dementia.

Of course, it’s not just here:

If ATT’s 3G network sucks, here’s why, and here too. Et tu, Verizon. (And yet more numbers are here. Till Verizon has to deal with the same growth, really, it can’t boast. Truth: “Our network is great because no one uses it.”)

Obama again fails to give aid or relief to the middle class. So Republican!

Props to the Times: Our Leaders: bought and paid for treasonous whores who don’t give a shit about our nation.

Then again, there’s this imbecilic front page headline:

Portrait of 9/11 ‘Jackal’ Emerges as He Awaits Trial

WTF is that stupidity meant to say other than just a little cheapshot bashing? And if it’s an allusion to “The Day of the Jackal”, it’s an utter failure on all levels.

And another Times piece rife with ignorance.

The Master Race triumphs!

Stupid schools > stupid students. The former grows the latter. Really, it’s all a nascent Dark Ages II….

Speak of the devil: Stupidity and more!

There she goes again. Sometimes, the insane come out with a truth, but usually just, well, insanity.

Palin/Giuliani 2012!

Beloved Leader’s unnecessary fear: Obama continues another odious Bushie policy.

What is it? Like, all pols fail us now?

There they go again: Big Media journos get another big story completely wrong because, you know, it’s such a great story that attracts an audience, not because there’s any truth to it…. Keep failing, Press, so we don’t miss you when you’re gone. Is it too soon to say ”Good Riddance?”

In that fabulous way, Ashley Banfield was promoted as some sort of babe until she, well, went rogue, which is to substantive (not on the air but at a lecture, as I recall) and got her sex object ass canned. (At the same time as Banfield was criticizing the Iraq War, the Times was doing it’s utmost, as was the rest of the Big Media, promoting a clearly stupid and unnecessary war.) Well, A.B. has been brought back in from the cold….

The 9/11 terrorist trial really doesn’t belong in NYC within view (sort of) of Ground Zero but somewhere where New York is hated. About as close as a fair trial as it could be….

The GOP is pro-abortion except when they’re not. Or maybe pro-abortion only for Republicans.

And here’s a scummy Dem.

I have no idea whether or not this is good news but it is clever….

Maybe what to do if you’re wiretapped…..

Okay, maybe Verizon’s 3G network is “better” than AT&T’s. Verizon is the best at ripping off their customers.
