hilarious

As a freelancer i’ve been in the spot the writer from the Times was in about not getting a simple response that they’ve received your info. It’s really amazing how hard it is for some people to simply type “Thank you” after you send them requested info. Good job by him.

A total of 213 cities were overpriced, and Naples, Fla., was deemed the most insane, with 84% of homes valued over a fair market price
ridiculous. great read
Cheryl Cole is the best? ha

I thought Mrs Herpes (Henin) had retired for good and we were finally rid of her. Oh well, lets hope Serena can beat her down.
January 28th, 2010 at 8:58 AM
The best part was when he was arrested he all he said was “veritas” to the reporters. What a giant douchebag. Of course something tells me Hannity and the other Fox people won’t slam him anywhere near the level of which they praised him for his takedown of Acorn.
I’ve heard she is in talks to be one of the judges on Simon Cowell’s new show for Fox. She is a judge on the English version now I believe.

He still took down ACORN. Just because something like this happened, doesn’t make what
Organizing for AmericaACORN and the other MoveOn.Organisms do any less heinous.January 28th, 2010 at 9:09 AM
You’re right, but him doing that to Acorn doesn’t mean that he shouldn’t be slammed for being the fucktard that he is. I’m sure he’ll love prison.
I will be pulling for Serena as well, but damn I hate doing so. Only Henin makes me want to pull for Serena. She (Serena) is a petulant child on the court and after she loses. If she had half of the class that Venus had she would be so much more popular. She is a total diva.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:11 AM
John McCain and many other republicans supported ACORN until it bacame politically unwise to do so.
McCain to a crowd of organizations, including ACORN: “What makes America special is in this room tonight.”

One thing about the SOTU, I dont remember there being so much “rabble rabble rabble” before. People are getting unruly, respect the fucking president you douches.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:13 AM
Yes, that GREAT SATAN. To bad that ACORN has already been cleared in 2 seperate investigations and these preppy douchbags have been proved to have edited those videos heavily. But don’t let that stand in the way of the Conservative Boogeyman.

Nice work this morning TBL – good Roundup.
Have you never seen a SOTU cracker? Happens all the time. Couple of years ago the Dems were booing out loud at Bush. It happens. Big deal. It at least makes the otherwise drop dead boring, yearly snooze fest called the SOTU, somewhat watchable.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:18 AM
I saw something last night about a John Edwards sex tape on good morning america, is this true?
January 28th, 2010 at 9:19 AM
Has anyone here ever gone on this site?
http://www.chatroulette.com
just read an article about it. sounds like something a few people on here would do
January 28th, 2010 at 9:20 AM
Does he slip into the court and talk over them while they are making their rulings?
January 28th, 2010 at 9:21 AM
Hakeem – one of Edwards’ former confidants is claiming so.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:22 AM
I really dont remember it being this bad, with Bush OR Clinton
January 28th, 2010 at 9:23 AM
Are you serious?
January 28th, 2010 at 9:23 AM
No, he just goes on national tv and tells blatant lies about their rulings.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:23 AM
Nothing pisses me off more, but it has gone on for a while. You could see one of the justices (Alito) mouth not true last night when Obama was talking about the ruling on campaign spending. These guys need to grow up and realize that everything is heard and televised, stop opening yourselves up to jackassetry in the media. You aren’t all Jet fans.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:24 AM
I heard it was of the chick naked and Edwards dressed. Not sure it’s a “sex tape,” but it’s just one more thing that proves he is the ultimate douchebag.

January 28th, 2010 at 9:26 AM
Niiice
January 28th, 2010 at 9:26 AM
See here’s the problem with the SOTU. In other countries, the main policy maker and the ceremonial head of state are separated, so people feel free to openly insult the head of the government while revering the head of state. Like in the UK, calling Gordon Brown a liar is perfectly acceptable, if not expected, while calling the Queen a liar is verboten. Here, the president is a combination of head of state and the head of the government, so people are in a weird position in terms of criticizing the president…and why “You lie” was such a big deal here, yet overseas people were like, “what’s the big deal?”
January 28th, 2010 at 9:26 AM
Hell no. Dibs!!
January 28th, 2010 at 9:27 AM
That ruling was fucked up. Many on the Right agree, so it’s not some liberal thought exclusively. A corporation is not the same as an individual.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:27 AM
Whichever side is out of power @ the time of the SOTU has been doing it forever. You’re an Obama fan so it seems worse right now. Legislative decorum disappeared a long time ago. Pols from both sides get the DC egotastic fever and can’t let go.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:29 AM
Tallguy: I would love it if we had question time like they do in England. Shit would be hilarious, especially when W was in office, but really all Presidents would be made to look foolish at times. Some more than others though.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:30 AM
It was this bad with W Bush, not with HW Bush. Wasn’t “this bad” with Clinton either.
Here’s a great article from The NYT about Alito/Obama and who lied/who didn’t.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:30 AM
Fights would break out here. Promise.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:30 AM
There’s never been “legislative decorum”…it’s an oxymoron. At least now fisticuffs don’t happen(much).

Chatroulette is ridiculous. Me and my buddies sat down this weekend with a 30 pack and just messed around on there. It’s pretty funny. We talked to some Korean girls for about a hour it was hilarious.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:32 AM
I remember the boos towards Bush, but let’s not try and kid ourselves and say boos are the same as yelling out “you lie!” But yeah, each side is like a small child, and when the small child gets the toys taken away they act like assholes. So basically Congress is a bunch of asshole children. This fact needs to be in all of our civics books from here on out.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:32 AM
He’s not going to prison.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:34 AM
There were two people right where that thing hit the bridge. You can see one of them – somehow – run out of that destruction and link up with the two people in front of him. Holy shit.

Thank goodness. The less poor people voting (especially minorities), the better.
Take her easy there, Clown. You may be kidding, but watch out. Jemelle Hill and her crew have bat sonar for that kind of stuff. I found that out yesterday.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:35 AM
You don’t think so? He was trying to set up a tap on a Senator. That seems like something that would warrant a prison sentence to me.

January 28th, 2010 at 9:39 AM
It would be helpful if the POTUS showed a little decorum himself and didn’t try to call out the SCOTUS in front of a national audience (to go along with the real boogeymen of liberal la-la-land — the bankers and “special interests.”) It would also be nice if The One could refrain from stretching his version of the truth, just once.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:40 AM
I think this is probably true. He’ll continue to be worshiped by the people who imagine ACORN stole the election, Sarah Palin is a “great leader”, and poor, dark-skinned people are the real enemy.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:40 AM
so true. couldn’t help but think nancy pelosi looked as giddy as a school girl for 90% of the time up there. stop being a fucking cheerleader (not sexist) and get shit done.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:41 AM
The video with the guy on the bridge and the truck hitting it is crazy. Do we know if the guy lived? He just stops and you can tell he knows it isn’t gonna be good. WTF was that truck doing driving with the bed up???
Also, Rick Fox’s sister is absolutely smoking. Any of you who didn’t see that need to do so asap. Very nice.

TBL – I’m not sure if I missed something, maybe it’s just an advertisement, but I’m over here at http://www.hoopsworld.com and I see a section on their page with a rectangle labeled The Big Lead, and it’s got all your most recent posts. Pretty cool though.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:41 AM
Well, shit. My time here this morning is short. I’ve got to usher around a photographer almost the entire day for this massive report to the community I’m working on. I’ll try to stop by around lunch to probably catch the lastest Oden dick post.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:41 AM
The ruling is far from the worst this court has handed down, and as Mike pointed out, it’s the height of hypocrisy for Obama to talk about special interests buying elections.
As I told my friend when he asked me, it’s a non issue. In fact, this could be a blessing, if corporations are forced to disclose all lobbying efforts they directly support. It’s a lot harder to hide direct donations than money funneled through various PACs.
If you want to get really upset over rulings, how about the statute of limitations on salary discrimination starting when the discrimination starts, not when it’s discovered, or even worse, imminent domain being allowed for use by commercial development. Those two decisions were far more distasteful more likely to affect each of us individually.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:42 AM

thanks for proving my point buddy. on the other hand, not sure primate is the doppleganger here. Jemelle resembles some sort of alien, like the one in Spaceballs that pops out of that dudes stomach at the diner.

If that were the case, then yes. But there isn’t a single allegation in the Complaint of “wiretapping” or “bugging.”

OK, a quickie before I bounce.
Congress has been a disaster the past year. I think it’s time we send a lot of these fuckers packing.

Is Cheryl Cole the WAG with the horrible barbwire tattoo?
I thought Phil Knights tax opinion piece was interesting. I have no background on the state tax measures he is talking about but I do know that if you over tax large multinational businesses they are going to leave your state very quickly. Sounds like Knight is threatening the State of Oregon. Don’t know if he would go through with it but the threat is out there.

That was from Game Change. The book with the sex tape companion DVD is a different one, written by Andrew Young, the guy that tried to take the fall as the father of Rielle Hunter’s baby.

Congress has been a disaster the past year. I think it’s time we send a lot of these fuckers packing.

Isnt that the implication of the “entering under false pretenses for the purpose of committing a felony”? They were disguised as phone repairmen, what other felony would the complaint be referring to?
January 28th, 2010 at 9:48 AM
you don’t have to in order to be a congressman.

I read the first 18 chapters Monday and Tuesday nights. I’ll probably finish it tonight. It’s a fascinating look behind the scenes of a campaign. If you like politics, I highly recommend it.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:49 AM
so true, house of reps and senate are just full of followers and no actual leaders and it’s just so frustrating.
and the only leaders that are there either say, “obstruct” or “be spineless”.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:50 AM
I was thinking the same thing. Hell, you can even bang an aide, pay off her family and still be able to talk about corruption and shit. Congress is the place to be if you want to be able to do anything and get away with it.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:50 AM
Watching Congressmen blast Geithner in that hearing yesterday was the breaking point for me. YOU as Congress were part of the problem of the shithole we are in now, and you sit in your large leather chair with a Wink Martendale microphone and presume to cast judgement on someone else. I know this is tale as old as time(/Lansbury’d) when it comes to government and elected officials but the audacity of these fucks has caused me to abandon all hope.

If the complaint wanted to allege a wiretap, it would spell it out in clear language. But it didn’t. There are two allegations: entering federal property under false pretenses, and “interfering” with a telephone system operated by the United States.
Maybe they were trying to tap the phones, though I don’t think a kid like that could be that stupid. And maybe he will go to jail for 10 years. But I doubt it.

That’s not gonna cut it for a conviction.
Believe me, a complaint is designed to make as many allegations as humanly possible, knowing that not all of them are going to stick. There is no allegation of a wiretap.
At least the trusted, unbiased media is keeping an open perspective on this whole matter, though.

They found him or one his buddies in a parked car with listening devices didn’t they? Just because they didn’t have the proper devices and failed to land a tap doesn’t mean the intent wasn’t there to do so. Again, it may be tough to prove in court, but that does not change the fact that this dude is a fucking tool who desperately wants attention. Fox News was more than willing to give it to him, yet I imagine they will be fairly silent on this issue. Though they are fair and balanced, so I’m sure Hannity will rail him for this ad nauseum.

Just read the document, Gods. (It’s a .pdf, FYI).
And not to dive into this, but Hannity is not a journalist like Shuster is. Shuster, a supposed objective, unbiased reporter, is presuming guilt in a public forum on a matter he knows very little about — and we’re supposed to trust his judgment as a newsman?
I think we all need The One to step and and just say that O’Keefe “acted stupidly” and be done with it.

menarky is taking a ton of heat for the chimpanzee comment. i’ve said way worse shit than that on here all in fun. jesus.
Agreed. Bunch of Al Sharptons up in this bitch.

If Shirley had written that article a month ago, would anybody be outraged? It seems to me that the outrage surrounding his article is more about the timing than the actual content. The argument is essentially, “If you could by stock in Haiti, would you?”

Depends on the telephone technology. If you’re a hacker and it’s a VOIP system, you might only need a PC, the right software, and your skillz.
See: What happened to the cell phones of some very prominent politicians in Greece a few years ago.

shirley is right. that country is a cesspool of corruption and who knows where that money is going. id bet not to the people who really need it.

partager- do you go to the funerals of people who die and talk about shitty stuff that happened to them or that they did? Its fine to try to say shit before they are dead because that can be part of a solution but after they are dead is it cool to shit on them?
January 28th, 2010 at 10:44 AM
Teachable moment?

I know you’re smart enough to know that all tv “newsmen” aren’t trustworthy. They are there for ratings, nothing else.
January 28th, 2010 at 10:46 AM
my last comment was kind of dumb but still you don’t write an article like that after a country gets devastated, thats all.

Mike: What do you think they were trying to do there? Again, whatever they were doing, proving that they were trying to tap the phones in court may be tough, but what do you think they were trying to do?
January 28th, 2010 at 10:54 AM
appreciate ya, reazzy and ill.

agreed, but usually they don’t call someone they don’t know “stupid and lazy” for their opinion on a forum where they know others are going to read it.
At least Chris Matthews forgot Obama was black for an hour night…which is nice

REAAAZY – That was my point…although Haiti isn’t dead and will still need the world’s charity next year when the next disaster kills a few more thousand. At what point is it no longer charity? At what point are we just perpetuating the misery of others instead of insisting upon real solutions before we pour hundreds of millions of dollars into a place that can’t handle it. Honestly, this isn’t a Haiti issue. This is the common response of Americans to all distasteful issues. Pour a ton of money into it, but I don’t want to make any distasteful decisions or get my hands dirty.

I saw that this morning and did the face slap response. As he said that, do you think a producer shouted in his ear, “what the fuck are you doing!?!” Just a stupid, stupid statement.
January 28th, 2010 at 10:58 AM
This is only partly true. The real way Americans think is, “I threw a bunch of money at something that was broken, so that should fix it.”
January 28th, 2010 at 11:00 AM
Just a stupid, stupid statement.
yeah. when he finally stopped talking Olbermann and Maddow didn’t know what to do. I’m surprised Keith didn’t try to slip his tie around his neck as a fake noose-lol.
Bringing in “the old tribalism” wasn’t a good metaphor to use either, in this case
January 28th, 2010 at 11:01 AM
Fixed.

I woud love to be a fly on the wall in production meetings for MSNBC and Fox News. They are both so slanted that it is now comical.

Have you never seen a SOTU cracker? Happens all the time. Couple of years ago the Dems were booing out loud at Bush. It happens. Big deal. It at least makes the otherwise drop dead boring, yearly snooze fest called the SOTU, somewhat watchable.
video please.
