Roll that geriatric predator in to the hell he put his friends, family, fans, and worst of all, probably dozens of innocent child victims, through for decades: [Read more…]
The debate between Jon Stewart and Bill O’Reilly below the fold in its entirety. Stewart is magnificent as usual, but what’s interesting is Billo’s perfomance. This is a great example of right-wing misinformation tactics. Apply ‘principles’ arbitrarily based on ideology, change the subject when cornered, attack when really cornered, lie your ass off and hope you don’t get called on it.

Yet again the engineers at SpaceX amaze me. It’s hard enough to accelerate tons of payload to several miles a second through a soupy fluid and then coast gracefully in blistering and frigid vacuum.

A little blast from the past, courtesy of My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult. Ahh the memories, the go-go 90s, a raging stock market and full employment, when our biggest worries were Presidential trysts and Princess Di’s wild ride. Have a great weekend my hell-bound peeps!

Ah yes, the inevitable small government BS regularly regurgitated by conservatives whenever there’s a program helping regular folks they would rather redirect to the offshore accounts of uber-rich people, like Romney. Wherein people hear small government and think maybe there’ll be less in the way of speeding tickets or red tape at the DMV, and actually end up with dirtier water and air, and less protection for their hard-won rights and savings. And that’s assuming Mittens’ means it, which given the video below, is debatable.
