Penn Gillette is a very interesting guy. But he doesn't do drugs or drink. He has reportedly never even tried pot.

The disaster was initiated by Ronnie Ray-Gun, and continued with Bush(41), Clinton. Bush(43) and Obama.
Obama is lesser of an evil than Romney/Ryan, or what McCain/Palin would have been.
We (and 99% of the world) will continue to be fucked if our financial and foreign policy continues to be based on neo-liberalism.

The fact that the media is 9 to 1 liberal vs centrist in their reporting, let alone to the right. The closest thing to the right is Fox and that's the 1.Op Ed wrote:What is the 9:1 media?Hacksaw wrote:If the situation becomes desperate enough for the Obama campaign (and their propadandists in the 9:1 media), any vote cast for anyone other than Dear Leader will be attributed to racism.
The rest are part and parcel of the DNC and do their bidding on issues. The democrat has free, unlimited campaign advertising on the 9. Its how 5% unemployment was JFA under Bush but was the greatest in the world under Billary. It's why homeless only exist during Republican administrations etc.
There is also a study that shows that ratio to be right with reporters too based on their voting record and campaign contributions.

and youtube videos of washed up Magicians are the tools that will be bring balance to this one-sided ratio
If no one comes from the future to stop you from doing it, then how bad of a decision can it really be?

On finance and foreign policy there is very little difference between the two parties (other than empty words), both are very much for Wall Street and a foreign policy based on occupation, threat of occupation, and national control by financial institutions.
The only place the two parties differ is on social issues, and the empty rhetoric of The Democratics in being for the people.
However saying that the media is 9:1 is in underestimation... it would be closer to 90:1.

How is what Penn said wrong? Try to answer that, instead of just giving in to your involuntary reflex to defend your lord and savior, Barrack Obama.

Re: Puterbac News Network and Political Discussion Thread
I don't either. Point being all this bitching & moaning doesn't change the fact that we've got 4 more years of Obama ahead. Which means 4 more years of Repubs bitching about it instead of trying to help fix what they fucked up in the first place.

Re: Puterbac News Network and Political Discussion Thread
Obama has had 4 years. He had a plan and he's had his chance to make things better. He told us what we could expect if we instituted his plan. He instituted that plan. His predictions about it's effect have now turned out to be wrong. Things are worse, not better.
Continuing to blame it on the GOP just makes you look ridiculous.

If they try to hold up the budget again, every last one of those assholes should be shot.

Re: Puterbac News Network and Political Discussion Thread
Don't wait on 'em to hold up the budget. And don't just shoot the Rs.
There is no such thing as a budget if you spend more than you take in. That is called credit.

Re: Puterbac News Network and Political Discussion Thread
Here's one thing FAR worse than a filibuster - a majority party in the senate that shoots down the series of math-based and sanity-based budgets passed by the adult Republican house, and doesn't come up with its own alternative. The house is doing its job. The senators are the ones standing in the way of progress.Obama sucks, but the effing Republicans overused the filibuster.
If they try to hold up the budget again, every last one of those assholes should be shot.
Here's another thing worse than a filibuster: a president that proposes a budget that is so ridiculously Martian that it doesn't even get a vote from his own party.
