In an effort to make herself seem even more crazy than was previously thought possible, Michele Bachmann has blamed the Arab Spring on Obama as if the Arab Spring were a bad thing. She does have a legitimate concern that some countries might end up being ruled by a hard line theocracy like Iran after the fall of the Shah, but this seems far from the foregone conclusion that she makes it out to be.

The recent right wing wins in the Canadian elections seem to have had a negative impact on tolerance for the good things in life. The Puritans that run the parliamentary website have deemed cleavage to be unbecoming of a politician. Though this shouldn’t come as a surprise given that the supreme court wears chin high shirts to ensure against any possible cleavage.

The US Postal Service has released a list of post offices that will be studied for closure in order to deal with an ongoing budget shortfall. Since everyone is sending pointless e-cards instead of good old fashioned over priced paper greeting cards and paying bills online the amount of first class mail has been in steady decline. The USPS will look at the impacts of closing close to 252 offices. Continue reading
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
You were probably sitting there all day just listening to ICP and thought, I wish this had more classical inspiration. You’re not alone brave soldier of mixed musical tastes, Jack White is fighting for your cause. Mr. White has brought together Mozart and the Insane Clown Posse (of the Detroit Clown Posses). In case you need a reminder, all ICP songs are NSFW.
Have you ever been prompted by a website to chat with a representative for help? If you click yes there is a reasonable chance that representative is a computerized virtual customer service agent. But if you’re a sad lonely person who doesn’t need help deciding on which insurance policy is right for you then you might click on it just for the thrill of a little cold electronic programed interaction.
