Holy crap. I can't believe they would put something out like that.

Regardless of Jong-Un's general goofiness, I have to expect that North Koreans, above all else, respect fatness. Considering their level of poverty, starvation and agricultural acumen, I would expect them to be proud of their Supreme Leader.

On another note

I watched Chris Wallace try to draw a parallel between Romney's record at Bain (which I don't disparage, fwiw) with the Obama Administration's funding of Solyndra. Shameful shit...and sloppy journalism. I don't expect much from Fox News, but I usually expect more from Wallace.

I actually worked for a Bain owned company when Romney was involved with it.

For us at least it wasn't a slash and burn firesale, we were coming off ownership of a horrendously bad company and they were hands off. Just encouraged us to make money and grow the value of the company so they could sell us later on, which we did and 2 years later they sold us for about $800m more than they paid.


But Mitt Romney never worried about getting a pink slip that didn't have a corporate parachute attached to it. However I will admit, he isn't an extravagant guy considering the wealth he has access to.

I am never against people making money. Just don't act like you're doing it for my benefit.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul's final full day of campaigning in New Hampshire got off to a bizarre start here Monday when he was met by a bullhorn-toting man with a rubber boot on his head who challenged him and President Obama to a "panty-wrestling match to decide it all."

The man, who goes by the name "Vermin Supreme" and is running for president, was waiting in the parking lot as the libertarian icon exited a local diner here and slowly inched his way through the media horde to his black SUV.

"Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul," Vermin purred into the bullhorn, playfully taunting the 12-term Texas congressman. "You are surrounded by the media. The media owns you now."

The bearded satirist apparently has been making the rounds here ahead of the Granite State's first-in-the-nation primary and has run for multiple political offices over the years. And this year, his name appears on the presidential ballot.

"My name is Vermin Supreme, I'm running of the president of America. I stand for mandatory toothbrushing laws," he said, delivering his on-the-fly stump speech. "I'm a friendly fascist, a tyrant you can trust because I know what is best for you. I am on the ballot here in New Hampshire, and you can vote for me. I am Obama's primary primary challenger. I am challenging him and Ron Paul to a debate and an arm-wrestling match, leg-wrestling match and a panty-wrestling match to decide it all — the presidency of the United States."

Asked whether he plans to send troops back into Iraq, Mr. Supreme (Mr. Vermin?) said he wants to send troops "everywhere."

"I propose we will invade and we will make that country a state," he said. "So Iraq would be our 51st state, Afghanistan would be 52nd state. and on and on. Once we change these foreigners to Americans, they will certainly love America and we'll will be able to tax them and it will be a wonderful unified United States of the Earth. Thank you."

It was reported earlier this week that the satirist dropped in on a campaign event for former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, where he asked the social conservative, "Will you marry me, Rick?" adding, "Come out with your hands up and your pants down!"

As Mr. Paul made tried to make his exit from the parking lot Monday, Vermin Supreme stood smack in front of Mr. Paul's SUV, slowly walking backward and waving the car forward out of the parking lot, as if challenging the massive vehicle to a duel.

"I know you don't want to run me over," he said into his megaphone. "That would be very bad. That would be very bad press."

A member of the Paul team eventually boxed him out of the way, allowing Mr. Paul and his small entourage to escape.

"What are you, chicken, Ron Paul? Bok, bok, bok, bok, bok," the mock candidate bellowed out at the departing vehicle before playing the music from the "Chicken Dance" through his trusty bullhorn.

He ain't got shit on "The Rent Is Too Damn High" guy.

How the money has flowed...

more bullshit - this time its CBS, story put together by Jan Crawford

[img2]http://img.ibtimes.com/www/data/images/ ... 214003.jpg[/img2]

but if you look at CBS poll conducted

Granted CBS is probably screwing Ron Paul; however, your graphic and statistics are totally two different surveys.

yea I'm aware of that, but the second poll justifies why Ron Paul should be included in any discussion.

Going into today's primary, he was clearly in second place, had the same number of delegates from Iowa as Romney and Santorum and doesn't even rate a mention on the graphic?

That is bullshit.

What will they say when they talk about the poll? How Mitt Romney is 6 points ahead of Newt and Newt is 8 points behind Obama on a national platform.

mainstream media still doesnt get it. they no longer have monopoly access to news sources or dissemination. they scared shitless that people will do their own research and begin to think for themselves. that's why big media supports SOPA. they dont care about freedom of information or exchange of ideas they're making a deal with the devil to maintain the status quo.

SOPA is just another attempt at the net neutrality act.

The world saw the power of the internet in the Arab spring and Americas first response was to try the same thing the Arab countries did - put an emergency stop button on the internet when the shit hits the fan

and it will work about as well here as it did there. it's a shame when we start taking our ideas about freedom of information from a group of arab dictators.

Methinks it's less about uprising...and more about money. It's always a safer bet to say money is the cause. The net marketplace is making piracy and file sharing too easy without the ability to derive any corporate or governmental income from it...so it has to go.

SOPA is a bitch of a bill, but I see some form of it passing in some way over the next 3 - 5 years.

Our best bet is to speak to it with our dollars. GoDaddy was a supporter of SOPA until a mass effort to switch to a different host by many customers made them change their tune. That's our hope to stop this. The corporate cash that will come into political coffers from film, music and software interests will continue to grow until some form of SOPA is inacted.

At least we know what Rat has been up to.
