Glenn Beck feels the need to ask that his lunatic audience members not kill anyone.
Glenn, you get this nut-bags all stirred up, talkin' 'bout a revolution, then one of them kills a doctor, then one of them kills some cops, now one of them gets arrested doing recon on an Air Force Reserve base, and you're going to act shocked, shocked that this violence could somehow be linked to you and O' Reilly? This violence is utterly predictable when you're spouting your paranoid conspiracy theories at people who are already unstable to begin with. (FYI, you can tell that someone is nutty by the fact that they watch your crazy fucking show, Glenn, you smarmy little prick. No one sane watches the Glenn Beck Cavalcade of insane made-up fear-mongering.)
Glenn Beck, get off the air. Seriously, before someone else gets killed. You're worried about another Timothy McVeigh? You're creating the next Timothy Mc Veigh! And going on the air and saying, "please don't kill anyone" is not going be enough.

Hey, Look!
It's the stupidest fucking mouth-breather in all of Carolina!
Yep, I'd rather die a slow, agonizing death than give up my freedom to die a slow, agonizing death!

For the record, I have Nothing against the Carolinas. They've given us the Sedaris family, Steven Colbert, and Micheal Jordan. Top that, other states!
Rep. Pete King (R-NY) has his finger on the pulse of the voters!
Rep. Pete King: Health Care is Not a Major Issue Among the American People
Yes, he said that.
He then added that the French don't really care for wine, the people of Green Bay, Wisconsin don't really get in to football, and that people who voted for Pete King are totally not regretting it.

Crankshaft
Crankshaft is technically a comic strip, although i have yet to find the "comic" part.
It's about a grumpy old man who is really grumpy, but deep down has a heart of gold which is also grumpy.
Here's a typical strip. It happens to be from July 3, and so Old Crankshaft is setting off fireworks! Oh, the hijinks that are bound to ensue! I can hardly wait!
See, it's funny because his neighbor got mad when Crankshaft shot fireworks into his yard. It's funny when people get angry for completely understandable reasons!
Later in July, Crankshaft fills in for his fiend driving an ice cream truck His friend's name is, get this, Rocky Rhodes! Where do they come up with this stuff?
It's funny because the old guy likes to look at pretty young women! And that's funny, because well, haven't we all known an old guy who was, you know, heterosexual?
Oh, Crankshaft, you'll never get any business that way! But maybe that's what you intended? Oh, ho, ho Crankshaft! You're incorrigible!
Ho, ho! No, it sure doesn't! You tell 'em Crankshaft!
Oh, Crankshaft, under that crusty exterior, you're just an old softy, aren't you?

CEOs Rate Obama!
Apparently, Yahoo News thinks we should give a damn what a bunch of scumbag CEOs think about Obama's first six months in office. So we get this.
Next up, Michael Dell, who has promised to refer to himself with the royal "we" throughout his appearance here.
A place where I do not think they struck the right chord was on the tax proposal involving overseas earnings of multinational corporations headquartered in the U.S. The overwhelming view from that constituent group is that if that proposal were to go through, it would at best require a lot of U.S.-headquartered companies to eliminate jobs to reduce costs to make up for the increased tax burden.
Oh, no! If we have to pay taxes on our obscene profits after we've taken the time and effort to hide the money in the Caymans, well, I guess we'll have to fire a few people just to get our spirits back up.
I believe we have time for one more.
CEO, the Trump Organization
Ah, Jeez, who the hell let Trump in here?
I would hire him.
Mm-hm, and how many bankruptcies have your businesses gone through again? Yeah, three. I thought so. So, see your endorsemsent - it's not really helping. Yeahhh. . . um could someone show Mr. Trump out? Thanks!
CEOs Rate Obama's Performance
by Joseph Weber, Christopher Palmeri, and the BusinessWeek staff Monday, August 3, 2009
First up:
Employers are struggling to provide health benefits while remaining competitive in the global economy and many Americans worry an illness will devastate their financial security.
Yeah, you know what could fix both of those problems? Getting rid of crooks like WellPoint and going to a Canadian-style system. Just a thought.
Both are already bearing the brunt of an existing cost shift to private insurers from Medicare and Medicaid. Unfortunately, many in Congress are proposing to shift the burden even further by expanding government-run health care.
Apparently, making a lick of sense is not a prerequisite for becoming a health care executive. If the burden is being shifted from Medicare & Medicaid to private insurers, wouldn't expanding government-run health care alleviate some of that burden? By Ms. Braly's logic, I might complain the the Giants organization puts too much emphasis on pitching and not enough on offense, and now they've made it worse by trading pitching prospects for quality hitters.
The President is doing the right thing by bringing in leaders from hospitals, physicians, nurses, employers, advocacy groups, and private insurers, among others. Only by working together will we be able to develop a sustainable solution for America's health care system.
Yes, he's definitely doing the right thing by bringing in Private Insurers to shit all over any chance of meaningful reform.
. . .Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice,
the Superfriends have shrewdly invited Lex Luthor and the Joker to join the fight against crime!

Michael S. Dell
Founder and CEO, Dell
There are some aspects of what is in the economic recovery act around broadband, healthcare, and IT spending that we think are good things. We're concerned, like many, that one word that seems to be missing from a lot of discussions is "competitiveness." How do all of these things make America more competitive? It's a word that should be used more in Washington.
Well done, Michael Dell! You are indeed a horse's ass!
Next up:
Mohamed El-Erian
CEO and co-chief investment officer of PimcoI've never heard of "Pimco," so you are dismissed.
I said good day, sir!
Who else do we have?
