There’s a wingnut on the road.

His brain is squirming like a toad.

That little gem was discovered on one gov website recently. Zero mention of bulk quantities, just the single reference to a 2lb can of ham.

Racism within racism...why does a prominent black man's confrontation with the cops get national coverage and this http://globalgrind.com/content/890457/Elderly... story of an elderly black women getting clobbered (look at the blood) doesn't get a mention, even locally?

20 largest cases of companies bilking the government

1) tenet healthcare -- $900,000,000 under the false claims act
2) hca -- $731,400,000 under the false claims act
3) hca -- $631,000,000 under the false claims act
8) healthsouth -- $325,000,000 under the false claims act
13) bayer corporation -- $257,200,000 under the false claims act

Chump Change:

AIG $183 billion ($183,000,000,000), oh wait, we just gave that to them…

Nevermind!

Do you think these assholes give a shit. They make billions of dollsrs and then get cought fucking the dog and get fined a couple of million. Take dicks old companie kbr. fined 2.3 million, then gets a NEW contract for 15.8 million. How can I get in on a deal like that. Look at blackwater, How come Obama is still PAYING them.

Fine reduced to $500 million in 2008 by Bushco, and Exxon is a company with an income of $400 Billion per year, so its not like a mere five spread over years would cripple them.

Keith and Sibel speaks, almost as much fun as when the movies went talkie in 1929

"...The Left Should Be (Re)Learning How It's Done"

Wise words from Dave Lindorff at the Baltimore Chronicle

OMG! Those protesters showing up at Democratic “town meetings” to promote the president’s health care “reform” program are being bused in from out of town? Scandal! Que horrible! (Gasp)

But wait! That’s exactly what we on the left always did when we held demonstrations—at least if we could. Who in the trade union movement hasn’t called on fellow workers in other unions to join them in rallies during struggles with an employer, or asked them to join sparse picket-lines? Who hasn’t pulled out the stops trying to get people from other cities to attend a local protest?

They'd rather watch the nut cases get organized and hit the streets then get organized themselves.

I thought the internet was supposed to be a tool of empowerment to get people connected, motivated, and up and actually DOING something.

Man was I dreaming

The big benefit the internet offers is the freedom to not leave the safety and comfort of your house, apartment, basement, and chair.

And monkey porn.

"This past legislative session, Pawlenty ended the General Assistance Medical Care program. GAMC covers most homeless Minnesotans. They'll lose that coverage come March.

"People on anti-psychotic meds who are trying to figure out, 'Well do I wean myself off? How do I do that?' People with diabetes [who need to take] insulin. These [are] real life or death issues. They're scared," said Lange."

If you are schizophrenic, homeless, and live in Minnesota, Gov. Tim Pawlenty wants you to have a psychotic episode and either die or end up in prison.

If you are homeless, have diabetes, are insulin dependant, and live in Minnesota, Govenor Tim Pawlenty wants you to die......

GM (the new one, post bankruptcy) gets to dump its polluted sites here

The jokes that keep on giving.

How was the service?

Sundays are for listening to music and drinking like a good Christians.

Urp. Amen.

to tell me where this country is currently at and how much lower we are heading.

And I didn't even have to watch it.

We're gonners

Get a life! It was funny! She rocks man!

After that roundup, I would like to see a post soon on C & L on the 35th anniversary of Nixon's resignation.
