Famous pretend cable blowhard Stephen Colbert has been trying to get a "Super Political Action Committee" approved by Clarence Thomas, and now there's a Colbert PAC, so that the multi-millionaire entertainer can legally raise unlimited amounts of money for whatever he wants. This is funny, we guess?
Unix Gurus, long bearded men who look like wizards and smell like freshman, those gatekeepers of the precious servers that the banking/defense industry runs on.
So the difference between Mr. Colbert and, say, Off-the-Mark Levin or Sheer InSannity (who often have GNoP candidates on their shows for informercials; they broadcast the websites to collect campaign contributions, etc., etc.) is that Mr. Colbert actually bothered to go to the FEC and get permission first?
By the way - did anyone else notice that "non-profits" such as Americans for Prosperity and The Heritage Foundation pay for plugs on those shows?
We all need better ways to earn money. I'm listening to the BBC online and an American called in to scream about the British teachers protesting about their pensions being slashed. Says the American: "America is broke, Great Britain is broke, Greece is broke, all of Europe is broke!"
The main way for a country not to be broke is to raise revenue by taxes. And with a Pentagon budget twice what it was when Dubya took over (now about 700 billion yearly) it might be time to stay home and not try to remake the world into a Jesus-loving, plutocracy.
Yes, and real journalists used to actually perform that function. (And a saner public processed objectively presented facts accordingly.)
My lil sister think the Glenn Beck firing was a conspiracy and she loves Steven Colbert, I think he has at least one left.
Wonkettes = 21st century Yippies?
I'm down for the clown.

Only when Noman posts.
I love Wertheimer's Candy...or is that Wether's?
If there's is one good thing to come from this it will probably be that there will some political commercials worth watching this election.
