What a Disgusting Waste

Meg Whitman, a Republican (of course), wants so badly to be governor of California that she has spent $119 million on her campaign. So far. That's MILLION. ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN MILLION. $119,000,000.00

Imagine the good that amount of money could have done. The schools in California are struggling, people are hungry and homeless, and she spent $119 MILLION dollars on her vanity-campaign power trip. There is a special place in hell...

Fox News Spreads Hate and Lies at Record Pace

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/01/cable-news-ratings-august_n_701099.html

Fox "News" was watched by an enormous (kind of) number of people in the month of August. Now, in the scheme of the nation's population, it's not a lot of people. Less than 1% of the population. Still, the fact that more and more people even want to watch a station that exists purely to spread hate, lies, intolerance and religious zealotry, and roots for the President (and our nation) to fail, is incredibly sad.

Uh huh. I am not surprised.

The same states that are suing to block health care reform, because it is so horrible and unconstitutional, are also taking advantage of it. Can an entire state be an asshole?

This is What You Get From Watching Fox "News"

Once again, Republicans have outdone themselves. Now a majority of them (52%) think that President Obama "definitely or probably" wants to spread Islamic Law around the world. WTF? How in the world (Fox News) could a person (Glenn Beck) possibly be so stupid (Gretchen Carlson) to think that this has the remotest possibility of being true???

Do these people even realize what "Islamic Law" is? If they are talking about Sharia Law, it isn't even the common-law in most Islamic nations, much less having any possibility of becoming "world law." And how exactly would this happen? Obama has the power to change the law in nations across the planet? Really? Obama has the power to unilaterally change the entire legal system in the United States? Really? If the president had the power GW Bush would have given us Redneck Law years ago. Oh, wait...

Pro-life my big white ass

Once again, conservative "pro-life" a-holes prove that they care more about cells than about actual living, breathing human beings:

Now, thanks to "pro-lifers," more people will die while we try to find other ways to cure these diseases.

I am shocked --- SHOCKED...

...to learn that Fox "News" donated $1 million to a Republican committee, namely the Republican Governors Association:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/18/fox-news-doesnt-mention-n_n_686570.html?ir=Politics

I am equally shocked that they chose not to report this on their "news" station even though it has been in the mainstream for at least 48 hours now. Now, it is true that, like all corporations, other news agencies also make political donations. However, none of them has come even close to a million dollars and they are pretty evenly distributed between liberal and conservative organizations.

So, for anyone out there who still thought Fox was "fair and balanced," this should put that myth to rest.

While we're on the subject of political donations, don't forget to boycott Target. They gave $500,000 to a far-right candidate in Minnesota who not only thinks gay people should not have any rights, he thinks they should be killed. Make it right, Target!
