Give Faux News credit for tagging the article accurately. I was going to suggest that they should make "Unreal News" a regular category for their productions ... but it would pretty much swallow up all of their "political" reporting.

Fuck yeah. Back when I was a working stiff, one of the things I had to do was produce (and live with) budgets for my business units. Now, admittedly, these were only 20 or 30M budgets, but a key feature of all of them was:

They weren't a fucking budget until they had fucking numbers in all the blanks. And the fucking numbers had to be supported with some kind of fucking justification. And people would attack the fucking numbers and their justifications, because that's how you find out if they make fucking sense.

Fucking Paul Ryan has never done a fucking budget in his fucking life. He's a fucking Congressman -- they're granted an office allocation and just fucking spend it.

Fuck all these assholes.

Republican partisans are busy blaming our President and the Arab Spring for the massacre in Libya, and the attacks on American embassys and consulates in other nations.

Of course they ignore history - they always do.

During the eight years George Bush was President we had:

2002: U.S. Consulate In Karachi, Pakistan, Attacked; 10 Killed, 51 Injured. 2004: U.S. Embassy Bombed In Uzbekistan. 2004: Gunmen Stormed U.S. Consulate In Saudi Arabia. 2006: Armed Men Attacked U.S. Embassy In Syria. 2007: Grenade Launched Into U.S. Embassy In Athens. 2008: Rioters Set Fire To U.S. Embassy In Serbia. 2008: Ten People Killed In Bombings At U.S. Embassy In Yemen.

Just as (r)Money is distancing himself from his own record as governor of Massachusetts, responsible Republicans are distancing themselves from his premature statements. <a href="http://www.mediamatters.org..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.mediamatters.org/research/2012/09/14/k...">http://www.mediamatters.org...

That's because of the snark-gluon plasma... or is that at the hot end of things? (Damn, I'm supposed to know that...)

<i>Wag the Dog</i>. Between Hoffman and de Niro- wow, brilliant acting. and, like <i>Rain Man</i>, a Barry Levinson film. It's one of my favorites.

I should not have clicked that link. When I started looking at "Customers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed", the items that came up were very very disquieting.

He may have missed a chromosome, but I don't think he's missed too many bacon cheeseburgers.

I almost violated one of the Commenting Rules for Radicals, and asked "How the hell did he grow so big? Alaskan babyfood is filled with HGH?"
