The most naive and dangerous decision?
What would you consider to be "the most naive and dangerous decision" you have "ever witnessed the United States government make"?
... installing Bush as President instead of counting the votes in Florida ... Attacking Iraq on the pretext of lies ... Trillions in bailouts for bankrupt bandits on Wall Street ... And years earlier, dismantling the regulations to allow those bandits to thrive...
Well, Mike Pence (retard-Indiana) has a different "most naive and dangerous decision" he's ever seen.
It's the decision to prosecute one alleged terrorist in a federal courtroom.

Hello?! Reality check for Mike Pence. Reality check for Mike Pence on aisle five!

Glenn Brick is ignorant ... so what else is new?
Is it possible that Faux's Glenn Brick isn't just 'acting' (OK, that's a rhetorical question), that he's actually so ignorant of reality in America that he can't grasp why blacks in America tend to self-identify as African-Americans instead of just Americans?
"I don't identify myself as white, or a white American", he says, and then three paragraphs later he's saying, "I have to tell you, as a white guy, as a white guy, I'm just being real honest with you, as a white guy ..."

Birther to pay whether she likes it or not
Judge Clay Land has ordered the U.S. attorney's office to collect $20,000, plus interest, from "birther" lawyer Orly Taitz.
Repugican Troop Support at its Best
Tom Coburn (reptile-Oklahoma) placed a secret hold on legislation he doesn't like, single-handedly blocking aid for disabled American veterans.
And then, after his strategy became public knowledge, he lifted the hold.
But just imagine what he might do if he didn't support the troops.

Liars and Fools
Liars and Fools today include:
Faux's Swill O'Really doesn't usually announce where he's coming from so plainly as saying "I don't care about the Constitution".
It's only the honesty that's surprising.
Virginia Foxx (retard-North Carolina) wants to remind you that though Democrats love to engage in revisionist history, repugicans "were the people who passed the civil rights bills back in the ’60s without very much help from our colleagues across the aisle".
Seems I remember the era a bit differently as does any sane person ... oh, that and History, too.
Faux's Glenn Brick has announced his 100-year plan to end the two-party system.
My sides are hurting from the laughter on this one.

Climate Change will not be all roses
The deniers are stupid.
And they still deny it's happening?
Climate change will lead to increased rates of depression, kidney stones, lyme disease, malaria, and respiratory illness.

Economy ready to fall again ... soon
We aren't out of the mess the repugicans caused!
And won't be anytime soon.

More TSA insanity
Phil Mocek did his homework, and confirmed in advance that there's no law requiring that passengers present ID cards in order to fly, if both the departure and arrival airports are within the United States.
Yet, Mocek was arrested at the airport in Albuquerque when he declined to show his identification to Transportation Security Authority (TSA) employees.
He was accompanied on his would-be journey by his friend, Jesse Gallagos, who had confirmed in advance that there's no law banning photography at the airport. Gallagos was "detained" for attempting to take pictures of his friend's arrest.

H1N1 flu deaths rising in UK
Most people in Europe were expecting the H1N1 flu to hit hard in October, though it never quite materialized then. This month is quite another story. The numbers are going up and it's increasingly common for me to discover that business contacts are out of the office due to the H1N1 flu. At least businesses are telling workers to stay home for at least one week, sometimes two, to avoid spreading.
From The Guardian:
Healthy children between six months and five years old will be vaccinated against swine flu, the Department of Health has confirmed.
The expansion of the government's inoculation program was revealed as the latest weekly bulletin showed a sharp rise in patient deaths and the number of children being admitted to hospital.
The overall number of new cases showed a second successive weekly fall. Health officials estimate there were 55,000 new cases this week in England compared with 64,000 last week. There was a slight drop in Scotland.

You'll end up meeting someone wonderful, someone you would have never met otherwise.
