Brought to you by the NEA

Nothing says take me seriously more than a gaggle of liberal Hollywood millionaires telling me I am not doing my part to pay for the uninsured:



Truly fine comedy is the ability to subtly poke fun at a larger truth, not take a ham handed swipe at an easy target. But considering that Obama has bought off the pharmaceutical industry and all those greedy executives, perhaps Ferrell has struck comedic gold.

Who would have figured that this group would be capable of such nuanced political satire.

Kafka in Ohio

The 2008 presidential campaign of Barack Obama, exercising the state's power upon those who speak the truth:

Ohio Inspector General Tom Charles said his office is now looking at a half-dozen agencies that accessed state records on Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher.

The Beacon Journal has learned that, in addition to the Department of Job and Family Services, two other state offices — the Ohio Department of Taxation and Ohio Attorney General Nancy Rogers — conducted database searches of Joe the Plumber.

To be fair (as is my way), it wasn’t the campaign that did this, it was its followers. Operating just like a well oiled political machine should; be proactive in defending The Leader that he doesn’t soil his hands doing the dirty work himself (as far as we know).

And this begs the question: who were the bigger pieces of shit here, the diggers of dirt or the lapdogs in the press regurgitating it?
