I’ve noticed a few folks mentioning how Obama has one heck of a poker face. After looking at the events of the past few days in hindsight, I find it very hard to disagree. The best example came last Saturday night, as he sat through this joke by SNL’s Seth Myers… Note that laughing smile [...]
Roger Ailes Exposed as the Whiny Baby He Is (oh, and the Nazi Examples)
I mentioned in this post that after the tragedy in Tucson, certain folks put it on themselves to be the real victims. A number of people backed up those claims, and all of these victims work for the same guy, Roger Ailes. This always-the-victim-and-therefore-above-reproach approach that Fox News takes comes directly from the guy who [...]

BFD, a t-shirt won a contest

They just forced this “BFD” shirt upon us, and rushed it to print without caring what we think. Action must be taken, and fast! I’m forming the Tee Party. -GreenAdder [...]

The Economic Apocalypse (retro-look)
This line of thought began with this MetaFilter post linking to this FRONTLINE piece on what happened with the banking/ibanking sector last Fall.
