Displaying 931 To 960 Of 3,538 Comments Congressional leaders have persuaded Presidents to reconsider things in the past but I can’t remember it being for anything like this. Can’t really blame him though. I think Obama announcing the schedule of the address was a bit of gamesmanship on his part. I think this is Boehner playing his card. Boehner’s gotta take it though. President can address Congress anytime he wants. And getting mad at the President’s “political theater” is totally hypocritical. Shoes on the other foot now, ain’t it John? Don’t feel so good does it? **EDIT** Well, turns out he needs a signed resolution to address a joint session of Congress. I thought he could address them whenever he chose to. So, will House leaders sign the request? » Posted By ADONAI On August 31, 2011 @ 1:53 pm Maya Angelou says memorial makes MLK look ‘arrogant’ Poet and author Maya Angelou says a recently unveiled monument to civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. is inscribed with a quote taken out of context that makes the preacher seem “arrogant.” I was a drum major for justice, peace and righteousness, the inscription on the 30-foot-tall statue of King reads. “The quote makes Dr. Martin Luther King look like an arrogant twit,” Angelou told The Washington Post’s Gene Weingarten, and added that she thinks it should be changed. “He was anything but that. He was far too profound a man for that four-letter word to apply.” The quote was taken from a sermon King gave shortly before his death, where he imagined what his own eulogy would sound like. “If you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice,” King said. “Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter.” » Posted By ADONAI On August 31, 2011 @ 1:40 pm Tea Party Congressman Calls For Tax Breaks To Put Out Raging Wildfire In District WASHINGTON—With a massive wildfire currently raging out of control in his district, Tea Party Caucus member Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) pressed Congress to pass immediate tax breaks Tuesday to combat the rapidly spreading blaze. “This fire has already burned hundreds of square miles and left thousands of helpless families with only one hope: across-the-board income tax cuts and a sharply lower corporate tax rate,” said Franks, stating that broad-based tax relief would spur investment and extinguish the towering flames that grow larger by the minute. “We must act now. The longer the oppressive tax burden on honest, hardworking individuals remains unaddressed, the larger and more deadly this fire will become.” According to staffers, Franks plans to honor the nine individuals who have perished in the blaze by introducing additional legislation this week that would eliminate Medicaid. http://www.theonion.com/articles/tea-party-congressman-calls-for-tax-breaks-to-put,21242/ » Posted By ADONAI On August 30, 2011 @ 8:08 pm Actually The Fourth Kind was a hoax. Dr. Abby wasn’t even a real person. There was a big controversy about it after the film came out. The disappearances in Nome were real but most have been attributed to being way too drunk in a place where that can kill you. It was an entertaining movie though. » Posted By ADONAI On August 30, 2011 @ 5:56 pm White People Problems [img]http://whitepeopleproblems.us/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/MiO.jpg[/img] [img]http://whitepeopleproblems.us/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/transformers.jpg[/img] [img]http://whitepeopleproblems.us/wp-content/uploads/tdomf/743/maid.JPG[/img] http://whitepeopleproblems.us/ » Posted By ADONAI On August 30, 2011 @ 5:36 pm Em, I’m not great with top 10 lists. It’s so hard to narrow my favorites down to just a top 5, another 5 would be too much. Other people can do it but I just can’t. And I really loved the Hammer Films Dracula movies. Christopher Lee is awesome and the movies were full of blood and half naked women. They did Curse of the Werewolf too and that movie is awesome. If you haven’t seen it you should check it out. » Posted By ADONAI On August 30, 2011 @ 2:38 pm Maybe Anton should get thicker skin. » Posted By ADONAI On August 30, 2011 @ 1:46 pm Today’s Top 5 Watched the Exorcist again last night.

Iran still seems to be enemy number one in that region. » Posted By ADONAI On August 29, 2011 @ 6:16 pm Indeed. And that’s still the State Department’s line to this day. “It’s all Iran’s fault!” » Posted By ADONAI On August 29, 2011 @ 4:59 pm Indeed. I feel like we’ve set that country back decades. And no matter how much we try to “help” we’ll just make it worse ’cause the people we hire to “help” are just interested in the insane profits to be made exploiting indefinite war. » Posted By ADONAI On August 29, 2011 @ 4:40 pm I like the Democrat thinking of running against her who has lost the support of his BEST FRIENDS and is still gonna run. » Posted By ADONAI On August 29, 2011 @ 4:31 pm Ongoing Iraqi Violence Almost Makes American Invasion Seem Pointless WASHINGTON—Following the latest surge of violence in Iraq, a Pew Research Center poll released Monday has found that a substantial majority of Americans now believe the continuing bloodshed in the country almost makes it seem as if the 2003 U.S. invasion might have actually been somewhat pointless. Approximately 83 percent of Americans surveyed said recent incidents such as a car bomb explosion that killed 40 in the city of Kut, the executions of seven worshippers outside a mosque in Youssifiyah, and a series of other attacks that have left scores of Iraqis dead and wounded were the kinds of events that, if they didn’t know better, might make them think the lengthy occupation really wasn’t worth it in the slightest. http://www.theonion.com/articles/ongoing-iraqi-violence-almost-makes-american-invas,21238/ » Posted By ADONAI On August 29, 2011 @ 4:29 pm Mock all I want?! I believe I will! “Social media has overtaken porn as the number one thing to do on the internet.” Ever been to Chatroulette? Lots of “social media” is porn. Lemme sext you something. “Social media is about revolution.” Tagging a photo of a burning car does not make you a resistance member. “Over 50% of the world’s population is under 30 years old.” Which should tell you all you need to know about whether this is a “fad” or not. Can’t wait to see what LightsMyOwnFarts thinks of Gaddafi’s hiding act. “To them Count Chocula is a cereal character and vampires go to high school” And Jersy Shore is the number one show on cable. Yeah, these are the people I want making important judgements. TEAM JACOB! “An education study revealed that online students out performed those receiving face to face instruction.” Who tha hell get’s face to face instruction? It’s a teacher yelling at 30 assholes. But no, you’re right, let’s close down Harvard and send everyone to Phoenix University. And I do want to go on but I won’t. If yo need more mocking I am available for parties. » Posted By ADONAI On August 29, 2011 @ 4:07 pm That. Was.

He did as well as could be expected.

And I know the Northeast has some serious cleanup to do but if I can just poke fun at them for a second. I heard Brian Williams telling people in New York not to call 911 about fallen trees in their yard. I mean, is it any wonder why I look at city folk as soft, frightened, and helpless? We had a storm roll through a couple years back. High winds, flooding, major power outages, trees uprooted everywhere. Had two big ass trees fall in my yard. Neighbor cut’em up up and I dragged them off. is it really that hard? Man, a level 5(?) earthquake AND a category 0 hurricane? No country has had as bad a year as America. No country. » Posted By ADONAI On August 28, 2011 @ 12:19 pm Today’s Top 5 5 TV Shows I Wish Had Not Been Cancelled 1.)Mr. Show with Bob and David – Best sketch comedy show ever. 4 seasons was not even close to enough. 2.)The Critic – Was I the only one who loved that stupid little show? 3.)The Tick – The live action show AND the cartoon. The cartoon did get a few seasons in but it wasn’t enough. 4.)The Oblongs – Another underrated animated comedy. Does everything have to be Family Guy? 5.)Greg the Bunny – Holy shit I loved this show. The rebirth on IFC was good but lacking in it’s ten minute format. The show on FOX had the potential to be awesome.

The last few seasons were kinda shitty though. Winning the lottery and ruining everything the show was suppose to be about. It was the first time I saw the life I knew depicted on television. It’ll always have a special place in my heart. » Posted By ADONAI On August 27, 2011 @ 1:25 pm Amen Mr. Layton. Rest In Peace sir. » Posted By ADONAI On August 27, 2011 @ 1:10 pm HA!

Suh is a beast and the second tier of the NFC is pretty shitty right now. But Cleveland? I dunno. It’s all about how far Colt McCoy can take them. And that division. 2 games against Baltimore AND Pittsburgh. And the AFC is super competitive. I think they got a shot at a winning record but I dunno about the playoffs. Good picks though. » Posted By ADONAI On August 26, 2011 @ 4:23 pm White-Hot GOP Race Down To Two Mentally Ill People, Person Who Lost Nomination Last Time [img]http://o.onionstatic.com/images/articles/article/21/21196/SB_White_Hot_GOP_R_jpg_630x1200_upscale_q85.jpg[/img] http://www.theonion.com/articles/whitehot-gop-race-down-to-two-mentally-ill-people,21196/ » Posted By ADONAI On August 26, 2011 @ 4:17 pm Shoulda figured it was Kansas. » Posted By ADONAI On August 26, 2011 @ 4:13 pm America Gets Set To Enjoy Month Or So Of Libya Seeming Like Symbol Of Freedom GRAND RAPIDS, MI—Americans across the nation told reporters Wednesday that with the collapse of Muammar Qaddafi’s despotic regime, they were preparing to savor the next month or so of Libya seeming like an inspirational symbol of freedom. “We’ve got a nice four weeks of thinking Libya represents a triumph of liberty before the situation begins to deteriorate and some new form of authoritarianism inevitably asserts itself,” said Michigan-based architect Wes Reinhorn, adding that while he was looking forward to the nation potentially serving as a model for other Arab countries, he would eventually realize the situation in the region was very complex, and any hope he had of Libya transforming things for the better would presumably fade away by October. “We should all enjoy this stirring image of Libya as a beacon of democracy before Islamists or a new military strongman moves in to fill the power vacuum.” Other Americans, however, said that after a month of looking to Libya as a symbol of freedom, they planned to simply stop paying attention to the nation altogether. http://www.theonion.com/articles/america-gets-set-to-enjoy-month-or-so-of-libya-see,21228/ » Posted By ADONAI On August 26, 2011 @ 3:26 pm Clever » Posted By ADONAI On August 26, 2011 @ 3:25 pmComments Posted By ADONAI
