Birthers sue Esquire for satire piece.
Joseph Farah--who runs the World Net Daily website and a related book imprint--and Jerome Corsi, author of "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Hussein Obama Is Not Eligible to Be President," held a press conference in Washington, D.C., yesterday to announce that they have filed a lawsuit against Esquire magazine and its owner, Hearst, over an satirical article by Mark Warren published last month.
"This was a serious mistake by Mark Warren and Esquire for which they will pay dearly," Larry Klayman, lawyer for the plaintiffs, said. "It was obviously calculated with malice to destroy not just the book and its sales, but the reputations of Mr. Corsi and Mr. Farah."
When you think these people can't go any lower, they do. First off, "where's the birth certificate?" I think Obama already answered that with "here it is!" Second, if you are going to sue someone for losing money, don't sue Esquire, sue Obama for fuck sake. His exposure of his full birth certificate undermines your entire book, so he is the sole reason your book will lose money.
But this is a moot point, Corsi and Farah are just idiots, along side every birther out there. If rational thought didn't prevent them from writing the book in the first place, it's not going to prevent them from suing to get some money out of the deal. And this is by the way as frivolous as you get when it comes to lawsuits, something I thought conservatives opposed. If there is any justice, the judge will throw this case out before Esquire spends a penny defending themselves.
"There was nothing stating that it was satire."
Just in case I get sued, I'm labeling this post "satire" to protect myself from the stupid idiot goon squad.

Vox Day=Racist Asshole Part Zillion
Vox Day keeps proving that he is a racist asshole.
Another round of Let's Play Guess the Race
See this is a game that conservatives play. They mention a crime and make a big deal out of the fact that the paper doesn't report their skin color and claim that there is some sort of "political correctness" at play. And the trick is to make the reader assume that the people in question are all non-white because if they were white, they wouldn't just be called "unruly teenagers." So in Vox's eyes, unless the skin color is stated, you just assume they are non-white. Very clever, not.
One seriously wonders who the morons in the media think they are kidding.
Look in the mirror you racist asshole.

Funny Headline of the Day
Fed official: Biggest banks put ‘future of capitalism’ at risk.
Are Wall Street mega-banks so powerful and sprawling that they threaten our entire capitalist system? That's the claim being made by one top Federal Reserve official.
In a speech at New York University Monday, Thomas Hoenig, the president of the Kansas City Fed, argued that the biggest and most complex banks are "fundamentally inconsistent with capitalism."
That is the definition of capitalism, big corporations robbing the little guy and getting as big as possible. Big banks are suppose to do that in a capitalist system, how is that putting capitalism at risk? That is like saying that Bin Laden while alive tried to put the future of terrorism at risk by planning 9/11.

Idiot of the Week
Homophobes (no link needed)
The marriage equality vote must piss these people off. As gays and lesbians get more freedoms, the homophobes will become more and more isolated. The one thing that I hope will come from this is the death of the conservative movement. Conservatives, especially social conservatives rely on there being a large chunk of ignorant and bigoted people to pander to and as my generation (Generation Y) becomes overwhelmingly tolerant and accepting, this will make it harder for conservatives to recruit more. Conservatives on the other hand will have an easier time recruiting corporate conservatives, aka the pseudo-libertarians which liberals need to start counter-recruiting.

New York, Then America
Congrats on New York for legalizing same-gender marriage and while this is a victory, New York is only a battle. When civil rights were given to blacks, it was a national thing and that was why it was a huge victory. While certain types of segregation ended in many areas of the country prior to the sixties, it wasn't a full victory until it was ended in parts of the south. Gays can marry in a few blue states, but it should be legal everywhere. And gays and lesbians shouldn't stop their fight until they can legally marry in the middle of Utah, Alabama, or Oklahoma without fear of retaliation. When that day comes, gays and lesbians will have won the war.

Anti-Union Liars
If you need another example of how far big business thugs will go to suppress unionization, look at what they did at Target.
Waddy said some store employees were told the store could close or that they could be replaced if they voted for unionization. The store also rented vans, manned by security guards, to take the employees to work to vote, she said.
"There was a serious level of tension in the store and, obviously, the company ran a really aggressive campaign," Waddy said. "A lot of people were taken aback by the fact that they thought the store was going to close."
It goes to show that the anti-union thugs can only win through lies and intimidation. I also found this quote interesting:
"At Target, it has always been our goal to have a culture where our team members don't want or need union representation," Derek Jenkins, Target senior vice president of stores in the northeastern United States, said in a statement.
Translation: "We know unions are good for employees, but we don't want to admit it because it's bad for our corporate masters. We will treat the employees good enough so that they don't complain, but not good enough to equal that of what they would get if they were unionized. So we will lie to them."
The best revenge is success and one day union membership the United States will return to what it was over 30 years ago.

Idiot of the Week
Mitt Romney
“I should tell my story,” Mr. Romney said. “I’m also unemployed.”
This bastard has over 100 million dollars, is this some sort of cruel joke?
Shit Romney doesn’t belong anywhere near the White House, especially with that elitist mentality. Let’s do Romney a favor and keep him “unemployed” in 2012 so he can continue to tell that stupid line.
Sometimes I think I’m too nice to Republicans and conservatives.

More Bad News for Palin
Representative Giffords released from hospital.
Palin has had a bad week. First she fucked up the Paul Revere story, then she had her emails released, and now the victim of her cross hair map is still alive and improving. I wouldn't be surprised if this causes her to not run for president.
I continue to wish Mrs. Giffords a speedy recovery, not too many people are that lucky.

RIP Doctor Kevorkian
Dead at 83
The dude helped euthanize terminal patients in pain and for that, he became a political prisoner. If you don't agree with his methods, that's your opinion, but he undeniably helped his patients end their suffering. He is a hero and will be missed.
