Liars and Fools
Liars and Fools for today are:
Armey (r-Texas ret'd): For the first time we have a President that scares me
Good - afraid all your ill gotten and other sundry items are going to disappear, huh?
Touting her currency conspiracy, Bachmann (lunatic-Minnesota) insists: 'This is not Michele Bachmann being a kook'
Yes, this IS Michelle Bachmann being a kook - a whacked out, raving lunatic type kook.
Bachmann (lunatic-Minnesota) calls for "an orderly revolution"
What is 'orderly' in the mind of a stark raving mad lunatic anyway?
Issa (r-California) introduces legislation that would prohibit First Lady from doing any substantive work
Blow it out your ear Issa.
McConnell (r-Kentucky) complains that Obama isn't being bipartisan enough
Come again? Who, isn't being bipartisan enough?
McConnell (r-Kentucky) says Obama is turning America into France
This from someone who's mother is his sister (he is from Kentucky after all)!

Saving what economy there bucko?
Shimkus (r-Illinois) says capping CO2 emissions will take away too much 'plant food from the atmosphere'
I see someone failed basic eight grade science class!

It's not called 'reaching out' when you keep your hands behind your back, lame-brain.
Los Angeles Times' Klavan claims he's "never heard" Dimbulb "utter a single racist, hateful or stupid word"
Klavan is deaf, then.
CNBC's Cramer gets it massively wrong, again
Are we surprised by this?
Wall Street Journal's Fund claims Obama administration wants "to micromanage the car industry towards the social engineering goals that they want"
Using all the buzz-words and still not getting through.
Kristol doesn't think he owes anyone an apology for hyping WMD lies on Iraq
How about several million Iraqis, then.
MSNBC's Matthews calls "very correct" McPain's flie that "firing" of Wagoner was "unprecedented in the history of this country"
With so many lies from McPain, this one isn't even unprecedented, much less the firing of Wagoner.
Bozell's Newsbusters plays the Jeff Gannon card; Falls flat nose first into the ground
After all the bloody noses you'd think they'd have learned, but no ...
Bozell of Media Research Center offers revisionist lies on Tomlinson and NPR
Need a bit of research there, buddy.
Coulter still smearing Soros as Nazi collaborator
So says the NAZI.
Dimbulb calls Obama "an extremist tyrannical president"
Wrong - we ousted the tyrant in the last election.
Dimbulb: IF GM and Obama fail, America is saved
He can't help it, it's a mental condition.
Dimbulb repeats the lie that Obama "voted for infanticide"
Habitual lying is a mental disorder that is brought about by syphilis you know.

Can't wait to see what these wing-nut freaks come up with - I need a good laugh.

Speaking of Anniversaries
Today is the 151st anniversary of the pencil eraser.
Today in 1858, one H. L. Lipman was granted a patent for attaching a piece of rubber to the end of a pencil.
Turns out to have been a pretty good idea - but not that good.
Later the courts didn't think it was all that outstanding of an idea.
From Smithsonian:

Later the courts didn't think it was all that outstanding of an idea.
From Smithsonian:
Unfortunately for Lipman, the patent would later be revoked, when the U.S. Supreme Court rules in 1875 that a pencil with an eraser is just a pencil with an eraser and not a new invention.
Jerks are still jerks
Nothing ever changes ...
From TreeHugger:
An absolutely fascinating seven minute film of the streets of Barcelona in 1908, taken with a camera mounted on the front of a streetcar. The streets are dominated by bicyclists and pedestrians, many of whom appear to be in a non-stop game of chicken with the trolley. It is lovely to see a world without cars where streets are for people; not so lovely to see that riding habits haven't generally improved.

"I'm Smooth" - em, yeah, right
A retired police chief says he was robbed by "probably the dumbest criminal in Pennsylvania."
It happened Friday morning at police officers' convention near Harrisburg, where 300 narcotics officers from Pennsylvania and Ohio were gathered.
John Comparetto says as he came out of a stall in the men's room, a man pointed a gun in his face and demanded money.
Comparetto gave up his money and cell phone. But when the man fled, Comparetto and some colleagues chased him. They arrested 19-year-old Jerome Marquis Blanchett of Harrisburg as he was trying to leave in a taxi.
When a reporter asked Blanchett for comment as he was led out of court, he said, "I'm smooth."
Somehow the word, 'smooth' just doesn't come to mind.
