honestly people who waste their time w/ shit like that deserve at least as much.

gfy

That, of course, is sort of silly. Seriously, think of all your friends who always cheated when they were in charge of the bank in Monopoly and think for second of how weird people would think you were if they ever found out what you did to your Sims.

if word ever got out about my 2 story torture chamber in the sims (16 rooms with no doors or windows. i'd wait until a neighbor or friend would drop by, pause the game, construct a room around them with no exit and then unpause) my political career would be over

I <3 U RICK SANTORUM

“I’ve voted to kill Big Bird in the past,” [Santorum] said. “I have a record there that I have to disclose. That doesn’t mean I don’t like Big Bird. You can kill things and still like them, maybe to eat them, I don’t know. That’s probably that. Can we — can we go back on that one?”

omg

he was probably thinking about cute farmyard animals like cows and chickens and pigs, which people have no problem eating. but he forgot the camera was on.

"Can we — can we go back on that one?”

bwaaahahaha

damn those goths are drinking surge and smoking newports. I wonder if they're still alive.

the three drinks pictured in that photo are like some kind of raphaelite symbolism

You can tell Mitt has never had to interview for a job in his life. Lehrer was pretty much interviewing him for the job of President, and he treated him like crap.

You can kill things and still like them, maybe to eat them, I don’t know.

so beautiful

And he haws the nerve to call himself pro-life.

Also the Big Bird thing would have been a great opportunity to say "I don't see how closing down a 40-year-old company and firing all of its workers sets a good precedent. Mitt you want to help Americans get back to work. I'm having trouble believing that when you make light of ending thousands of careers."

shoulda been "Mitt you say you want to..."

eh my two cents. "I like Big Bird! LOL" is a dumb, superficial response when it's an opportunity to point out his cavalier attitude towards the working class, which is not exactly top secret information.

"i would save big bird by liberating him from the bureaucracy" - newt gingrich

2nd Amendment rights don't apply to videogames.

You can kill things and still like them,

gun control, GOP style

Santorum always hurts the ones he loves

i love big bird so much, the only way to ensure we could be together forever was to kill and eat him.

honestly, rick, that is some psycho talk right there.

lol santorum kinda fucking up in his dominionist-to-english translation there, as usual

Loving destruction iirc.

i think we've done a better job consigning our conspiracy theorists to kos diaries.

OTM

love this intro from the AP:

Steep drop in unemployment rate spawns conspiracy
CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
From Associated Press
October 05, 2012 6:06 PM EDT
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sasquatch might as well have traipsed across the White House lawn Friday with a lost Warren Commission file on his way to the studio where NASA staged the moon landing.

Conspiracy theorists came out in force after the government reported a sudden drop in the U.S. unemployment rate one month before Election Day. Their message: The Obama administration would do anything to ensure a November victory, including manipulating unemployment data.

then uh why wouldn't they have been manipulating it all along

that's what they WANT you to say

GOP is obsessed with people being fired, it's the world they live in. These job numbers reflect a non-fired populace, which does not fit into their current world view. If you are working, you will eventually be fired, just like Big Bird.

And Obama, right?

Probably the least offensive image I found on that particular GIS.

Chris Kofinis looks like Mr. Bean.

Meanwhile in Georgia: http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/2012/10/05/house-science-member-says-earth-is-9000-years-old/

Bear in mind that this his is on the House Science Committee with Todd Akin

The earth is about 9,000 years old, according to U.S. House Representative Paul Broun, who is also a physician and member of the Committee on Science, Space and Technology of the House of Representatives. “There are a lot of scientific data that I’ve found out as a scientist that actually show that this is really a young earth, ” Broun said in a videotape of the Sportsmen’s Banquet held on September 27 at Liberty Baptist Church in Hartwell, Georgia. “I don’t believe that the earth is but about 9,000 years old. I believe it was created in six days as we know them.”

smdh at MDs who call themselves scientists

especially republican members of congress with MDs who call themselves scientists

i wonder if he is 100% mendacious or if he imagines that somehow he 'found out a lot of scientific data' scientist-style

AS A SCIENTISTS

http://www.salon.com/2012/10/05/can_i_date_a_republican/

what's kinda lol is that i know a dozen liberal/republican couples and like the couple in this article they're all american liberals and immigrant conservative (israeli + former soviet bloc countries) couples

i is a sientist and to be fair to the congressman, evolution and natural selection is actually absent in nature in the state of Georgia. So, not his fault.

"a young earth" & "but about 9000 years" really dates that guy

paul broun is my congressman, elected only cuz his competition for gerrymandered athens centered district (put forth by party apparatus, broun is a libertarian ron paul tea party type but well before 2010) said he wished someone would bomb athens off the face of the planet the next time uga had a road game and refused to do any debates or campaign in athens cuz he didn't want to come in contact w/ the liberals and gays. actively calling for our deaths was enough to get athens voters to turn out for broun and give him edge in open seat. since then athens vote has gone against him and he refuses to campaign in athens for similar reasons but is wildly popular enough in rest of district for it not to matter, he's primary proof. heavily gop state legislature changed his district this year (most of athens still in it), they're not wild about the guy either, but he still won pretty easily though faced his toughest race as an incumbent.
