Ron Paul Has Fixed the Healthcare Crisis

The problem with liberals is they have no backbone. They believe in live and let live instead of live and let die. Ron Paul says that if someone wants to carry the risk of not having insurance then they should also carry the consequences which might be as much as death. But when you look at this a bit closer you will see that Ron Paul actually just fixed the entire healthcare crisis. Continue reading

Elizabeth Warren to Run for Senate

Wall Streeters rejoice! In addition to the socialist usurper Barack Obama, your firms will have a new scourge against whom they may throw their campaign dollars. You know, when they aren’t throwing them at executive jets stocked with hookers.

According to the always helpful ‘multiple sources’, the architect of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau plans to mount a campaign to take a Massachusetts Senate seat away from sometimes naked-in-a-magazine person Scooter Brown.

The real question is: Can she win? Well, duh, Massachusetts is beyond blue, Brown’s odd Tea Party backed win in 2010 not withstanding. Comment.

6 Shows You Shouldn’t Check Out This Fall

Last week we reviewed a few shows you should definitely give a good look-see, you know, just in case the morning water cooler is like, “Did You See 2 Broke Girls Last Night…Awesome!” And you really don’t want to be the one who says all frantically, “Oh, no. I missed it. NO SPOILERS! NO SPOILERS!” Because that guy/gal really annoys us. Seriously, just walk away or something. Anyway, here are a few TV shows you should only watch if someone is willing to pay you, or if you’re related to one of the stars, or you can’t reach the remote due to being covered with 100 pounds of dog or something like that. (They’re making Finger-Guns up there!)

Census Bureau: US Poverty Rate Rises as Median Income Declines

The US Census Bureau announced today that the number of Americans living in poverty has continued to climb while household median income has dropped. According to the report, 46.2 million Americans now live below the poverty line. The federal government defines poverty as income below $22, 113 for a family of four. This is the third consecutive year that the number has risen, and it reflects the continuing stagnation of the US economy.

Median income also fell, signaling an economic deterioration for middle class Americans. Particularly hard hit are twenty-somethings, many of whom are returning home because they cannot find work. There has been a 25% increase in the poverty rate for Americans aged 25 to 34. Also hard hit are male, full time workers who have seen their income stagnate in real terms since the 1970s. This is especially true for men without college degrees. Continue reading

Explosion Bus is the Funniest Show That’s About to Be on the Internet


Who likes to laugh, amirite!? Damn straight! Laughter is like tiny unicorn kisses inside your brain, and should be sought out at all times!

For those of you who are old enough to remember this, Dr. Katz was once a super-hilarious show. Airing in the early days of Comedy Central, “Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist” featured Jonathan Katz taking the day’s best stand-up comics to his private therapist’s couch. H. Jon Benjamin was there too, dontchaknow.  After a long hiatus, Jonathan Katz is back, and OHIMGOD YOU GUYS I’M IN THE SHOW! Continue reading

2011-2012 Champions League Preview

There’s football and then there’s football (played mainly with, you know, feet). It’s that time of the year again, when Europe’s (and parts of Asia’s) best teams battle in what amounts to an intercontinental version of the Super Bowl and World Series. As liveblogged by JustTyler, FC Barcelona beat Manchester United to win it all last year. But can Barca continue its dominance?

Angry Birds Addiction or Yet Another Way Being Single Will Definitely Kill You

I must admit that the Angry Birds phenomenon has largely passed me by, due to me being one of the few people in the world who uses a Microsoft KIN phone. Without the appeal of playing it on the hand-held touchscreen for which it was clearly designed, it just seems like a poor man’s Worms or Scorched Earth. But today I learned that my stubborn refusal to keep up with the latest trends in gadgetry and gaming has actually been keeping me safe from terrible harm. Continue reading

DRM Only Hurts Legitimate Paying Customers

I’m sure most people are familiar with the ubiquitous set top box lounging around or near their television eating around 19 volts and putting off quite a bit of heat. Most people probably figure these are just part of the package with having cable service. A necessity that we’ve all come to terms with. Well not me. I stood up and challenged the system. I wanted something better for my house. Will no one rid me of these turbulent devices? Continue reading
