If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding, how can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat.

HEY KIDS! If you choose to give billionaires more tax breaks, you might get another box of Hamburger Helper in lieu of your jobs that are currently vacationing in China.

Also bank executives.

Well, I really want that new AMG Mercedes S Class, but mom needs the cancer treatments... S Class it is!

Insert obligatory "There's a pony in here somewhere" joke here.

Clearly, God just doesn't love them as much as He loves Creflo Dollar.

This *exact* shit was what we were forced to watch the day before Christmas break back in Catholic parochial school. Don't get me wrong, that school made me the resolute atheist I am today, but it's these little details that seem the most needlessly grotesque from the experience.

I didn't know that! Never even thought about it but yes, it is utterly (a) impossible; therefore, (b) meaningless. Very interesting.

Social experiments done on poor children by the holier than thou christian extremist? If memory serves these kinds of experiments were done to children in fascist held Europe during WWII...beyond sad. It's reprehensible.

I learned nothing from this. Why didn't they gift the kids with generic $1 drugs, the only ones on the market to cure a particular disease, and ask them how much they would now charge? Tsk tsk that they didn't sell the presents and invest in Exxon or buy a new Pharm co. Have they learned nothing?

Yeah I guess, but at least they were young adults sacrificing for each other. This was children being manipulated for clicks

If I'm not mistaken, the original name for UP TV was "The Glurge Network," but that didn't focus-group well.

Hi, Dok- I want to sincerely apologize for that comment. After a couple of cocktails I thought I was making a funny "rapey congressman" joke. Upon further reflection (as in, Oh my god what did I write last night...) I recognize that it was not at all funny and was in violation of Wonkette's policy on comments, which you do not allow. It won't happen again.

Also, yes, I am the Patty Dumpling of the oil-spill blogging endowment.

Sorry, Patty

Seems like the only real purpose for this 'exercise' was to give these "UP TV" asshats a reason to pat themselves on the back.
