– Debt Ceiling Deal Reached To Avert Default (LATEST UPDATES)
I know they’re all assholes and fuckWashington motherfucker, but we elected them and their restraints are somewhat determined by the reactionary nature of the electorate. Maybe we shouldn’t elect Tea Party members. Maybe we should actually put some thought into our vote and not base it on the “best haircut” or the lapel pin.
There’s nothing I hate more than a...
When does Jerry Stackhouse make a guest appearance on True Blood as an overrated basketball player/vampire?
What about the taxes people pay in urban centers? That’s the most regressive tax there is? 5% in the city of Philadelphia for people who can’t afford to move out and with really, really shitty services? I know it’s worse other places.
If you feel bad about how much you pay in taxes, maybe just look at your net pay and not your gross. It’s like you pay nothing! And please shut up! Shut the fuck up!
The Debt Ceiling Crisis was really just an extended episode of Entourage: poorly written, horribly acted, everything works out in the end in a predictable way and full of dicks and assholes.

Death is so annoying. For some reason I find it strange that he and Meryl Streep had this great love affair before he died? But I don’t know why.
Did you watch the HBO documentary about his life? Apparently, they were really in love and she was apparently really, really dedicated to him when he was sick. He...
I always wanted John Cazale to play Frodo so he could be Fredo and Frodo.
Also, I hoped that Penelope Cruz would marry Tom Cruise and she would be Penelope Cruz-Cruise and I would be her waiter and offer the house special of Cous Cous.
I'm tart, not sour like people say...

Why are people talking about shitting their girlfriend on Twitter? Is that what the kids do now? Gross.

– Paul Krugman: GOP Said We’ll Blow Up Economy Unless You Do What We Want And Obama Said OK - Electzu via ABC’s ‘This Week’
So what is Krugman’s solution then? Let them blow it up? I’m not saying it’s a good deal, but the Republicans are sociopaths who want the economy to collapse.
I think that there is a direct correlation between the fact that the horrible topic trending on Twitter and the fact that this country elects members of the Tea Party.
Constitutional Amendment:
IQ Tests for all elected officials, plus a full body of necessary subject area tests. Especially fucking economics, because not one person in the fucking Tea Party has ever, ever studied any actual economic theory or history. Not one. Because they are stupid and they hate America.
Fuck the motherfucking Republicans
Fuck them. Immoral bastards.
Shut the fuck up, Bill Maher. Slimy skeeze.
If the government defaults on Tuesday, maybe the American people should all stop paying their credit cards at once. Hit the politicians where it hurts, their banking overlords.
Women be having Hermione’s purse!
The thing that I hate most about the rapid growth of technology is that when the world ends there probably won’t be country music playing on a static AM radio. It’ll just be so weird without it.
Hey baby, s’up? How about next Tuesday we reconcile our packages and I’ll extend your debt ceiling all night long.

What are you doing in the internet, Congress? You don’t even know what a packet is, Congress. Get out of there, Congress. You do not belong there.
A committee cannot pass a bill.
I don’t think it’s particularly wise or necessary to demonize Boehner from the left. The real demon is the Tea Party and no one can really handle them. If he resists at all, it’s something.

Paul Krugman: The Centrist Cop Out →
chris-golden:
Paul Krugman has an essential read in the New York Times this morning. Highlights:
“The facts of the crisis over the debt ceiling aren’t complicated. Republicans have, in effect, taken America hostage, threatening to undermine the economy and disrupt the essential business of government unless they get policy concessions they would never have been able to enact through...
Entertaining and, support by proxy of, insane ideas is not presenting both sides of an argument. It’s being complicit in their acceptance.
There isn’t plenty of blame to go around. Stop saying that media. The only blame goes to the Republican Party and it’s inability to contain fanaticism.
I used to dislike (I’m being nice here) the Republican party because I disagreed with them, usually intensely, about almost every idea they had. I didn’t fear them, but I feared the radical right-wing of their party, which the media portrays as blue-collar people who are angry about something amorphous but is actually angry upper-middle class white people who are indignant that their...

Who decided that? It seems like Children’s Literature is written almost exclusively for adults.
If anyone asks you to define irony, just tell them that Scotland Yard just arrested someone for hacking.
The leader of the Republican Party admitted that they are trying to destroy the economy ( so the can get a Balanced Budget Amendment to destroy it more). That’s terrorism. They should be arrested.

I mean, I know I work in marketing loosely (who doesn’t), but I honestly don’t understand why people get so up in arms about ad networks. I mean, most of the time I’m either trying to distract myself or actually buy something on the web. I wish the ads were more interesting and better targeted. I like shit. That’s the point of being American, right?
Yes, that’s what...

We’ve heard this before, but The Washington Post has an attention-grabbing headline this morning: “U.S. officials believe al-Qaeda on brink of collapse.” More specifically, The Post cites closed-door meetings between counter terrorism officials and says that “a widespread view at the CIA and other agencies [is] that a relatively small number of additional blows could effectively...
