Steele: Hats backward is 'how we roll'
Republican National Chairman Michael Steele said Thursday that despite Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter’s recent departure, the GOP remains a party of many hats because “that’s how we roll.”
“I look at it this way,” Steele explained to the hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “The four of us are, let's say for the sake of this example, all wearing a hat that says ‘GOP.’ All right?”
Pointing to those around the host table, Steele singled out each one as being from the West, Midwest, South or Northeast.
“You wear your hat one way. You like to wear it, you know, kind of cocked to the left, you know, because that's cool out West,” Steele said. “In the Midwest, you guys like to wear it a little bit to the right. In the South, you guys like to wear the brim straight ahead. Now, the Northeast, I wear my hat backwards, you know, because that's how we roll in the Northeast.”

Strange turn of events, GOP posts, and then pulls, juvenile, badly produced video mocking Obama. Although it does sound like they found another black man to do the Obama voice over.

So last night, during Obama's official "press conference", concerning the swine flu, when asked about closing the border, Obama said something to the effect of... "... well, why close the barn doors, after the horses have already gotten out...".
To that I say, "what in the fuck kind of answer is that", and, "what in the fuck is one thinking to give up an answer like that???". Absolutely no logical rationale whatsoever.
Way to put an exclamation point on your (did I get that right, tommyo?) 1st 100 Days big guy!

- Uhg correct me if I'm wrong TBO but the trucks carrying the trade, would still be allowed in. We need to shut this border.tommyo
- It's absolute insanity that we're not protecting our border down there.tommyo

The HR 1207 (for auditing the Fed) bill now has 110 cosponsors and is in the House Committee on Financial Services for approval. Any of you who are interested in this should be emailing BuhBuhBarney FuhFuhFrank or anyone else in the Committee to let them know you're behind it. If you're not interested in this bill then you should just shoot yourself in the face.

See, this is interesting. Number identifying as Republicans has plummeted to around 20%, the lowest level since the 70s. Meanwhile, independents have surged ahead of both parties to become the largest political group, although they are about equal with Democrats.
However, it would be wrong to assume that the independents are all right wingers or ex Republicans. Pollster.com which aggregates all polls has Obama's approval with independents 57/32.

Recently, I've been thinking why US is the country with most prisoners per capita.
The thing is that americans have an irrational taboo against socialism, sort of like homosexuality in muslim countries, only americans are tenfold more persistent and stubbornly stupid. And any political measure which can be interpreted as socialism (even indirectly) immediately means political suicide.
On top of this, in America like in most developed countries, there aren't any shortage of workforce, but there is the opposite problem -- shortage of jobs. In Europe this problem is solved with downshifting and by granting people benefits, esp. scholarships for students. In fact, all free universal higher education, which is increasingly practiced in Europe, is a form of hidden unemployment. If a person spends all his life studying at an university, and lives on scholarship, he creates fewer problems for the society than if it he would be unemployed walking the streets all day and causing trouble with other dregs of society.
In America, the idea of paying benefits to students is a political suicide, consequently, Americans must keep millions of people in prisons, for the stupidest accusations possible. Sort of a replacement for scholarships, the amount of money spent on prisons is about the same, except that americans due to their shiteating nature have to do it backwards like that.
Of course this doesn't apply to the middle class, this multimillion army of prisoners almost entirely consists of poor people, blacks, who have trouble finding jobs in the american economy. As we know 30% of all black men between 20 and 40 yo are in prison -- on top of this you have millions of policemen serving them in prisons.
About 80% of american prisoners are people who are in prison solely because of the fact that there are too many policemen and prisons in America. So, in reality, 80% of all american prisons could be easily closed down and about as many policemen could be fired. In Europe they would have done just that, and start paying to these unfortunate benefits, because as we know, some of us are born idiots and are just useless from birth and there is nothing you can do about it. But in America you can't, and because of this americans continuously eat shit and have sorrows in their lives.
- interesting and funny. disarming the fucking NRA would be a good startMirpour
