Noted Climatologist Pat Sajak Pens Solution to Global Warming

Well, we have been waiting and waiting and waiting for Pat Sajak to weigh in on the global warming denier situation. I'd say "debate" but only complete retards who read studies provided by companies like BP don't believe in global warming at this point.

And, as it turns out, Pat is one of those complete retards.

Manmade global warming, like so many other social and economic issues, has become hopelessly politicized.

Um. No. You can't politicize a reality. It's like saying gravity is hopelessly politicized.

Now, if those True Believers would give up their cars and big homes and truly change the way they live, I can’t imagine that there wouldn’t be some measurable impact on the Earth in just a few short years. I’m not talking about recycling Evian bottles, but truly simplifying their lives. Even if you were, say, a former Vice President, you would give up extra homes and jets and limos. I see communes with organic farms and lives freed from polluting technology.

SNAP! Oh, man, Sajak really brought the hammer down. What a fool-proof idea. Can't see any holes.


Then, when the rest of us saw the results of their actions—you know, the earth cooling, oceans lowering, polar bears frolicking and glaciers growing—we would see the error of our ways and join the crusade voluntarily and enthusiastically.

Hey, look at you! Casually making fun of the eventual extinction of polar bears. Tee hee.

And I hate to be a scold, but you have a special obligation to do it because you believe it so strongly. Then, instead of looking at isolated tree rings and computer models, you’d have real results to point to, and even the skeptics would see the error of their ways and join you.

Oh, I think you're confusing "be a scold" with "be a douchebag." Easy to do when making light of environmental devastation.

Oh, and you're a game show host.

Finally, Democrats Speak For The Billionaires

I think I remember a time when Democrats were the party of the working class, the middle class, the guy trying to get by. Holy shit are those days gone. Now they are just a "how can we rape you the hardest?" party.

Today, Senators Lieberman and Conrad came out in favor of extending the Bush tax cuts for the super rich. Because, you know, those tax cuts have worked out so well and we don't want anything getting in the way of the awesome Bush economy.

Today on CNBC, Conrad argued that now just isn’t the time to raise taxes on the wealthy:

We’ve got to be very careful with the timing of what we do. There’s no question in my mind that taxes have to go up on the wealthiest among us. The question is when. I don’t think this is the moment.

Oh, fuck no. Could you imagine if we made them pay the same percentage that, say, a janitor has to pay? What a fucking nightmare. The only way this country works is if rich people can fuck us every possible way and we take it.

LIEBERMAN: We got a long term debt problem as Bernanke said and we gotta begin to bring our government back into balance. Probably in the long term that gonna mean we’re gonna have some more people in higher income levels. But I think that right now, as we’re trying to come out of a bad economy, that would be a mistake. I don’t know if its two years, six months, whether it’s a year, to just hold over these tax cuts so theres more money in the hands of these busineses, small businesses which create most of the jobs, a lot of people are in those upper brackets running those small businesses let’s make sure the economy’s stronger before we start raising taxes again.

Totally. Because the whole lowering of taxes on the Rockefellers gave us nothing but an economic boom. I can't think of a time where we have had a better economy than the years 2000-present. Seriously, don't do anything to blow this.

Please stop voting for Democrats and Republicans. They fucking hate us.

John Kerry Not Rich Enough

Democrats are fucking awesome.

Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry is docking his family's new $7 million yacht in neighboring Rhode Island, allowing him to avoid paying roughly $500,000 in taxes to the cash-strapped Bay State.

It's called representing your state.

If the "Isabel" were kept at the 2008 Democratic presidential nominee's summer vacation home on Nantucket, or in Boston Harbor near his city residence, he would be liable for $437,500 in one-time sales tax. He would also have to pay $70,000 in annual excise taxes.

Rhode Island repealed those taxes in 1993. That has made the state something of a nautical tax haven.

Kerry spokesman David Wade said Friday the boat is being kept at Newport Shipyard not to evade taxes, but "for long-term maintenance, upkeep and charter purposes."

You cannot get long term maintenance and upkeep in Massachusetts, where boats are raped on a regular basis.

Surprise. Arizona Economically Already Devastated by Insane Immigration Law

What a shock. Turns out of you go after people who make up 8% of your economy, you are fucked.

The vast shopping center that holds his small shop is almost empty. The Food City supermarket closed this spring. Then the furniture shop. Then the pizzeria.


Katchi's revenue was already sagging before April 23, when Gov. Jan Brewer signed SB 1070 into law. Since then, sales have plummeted.


When immigrants leave, Gans said, "stores experience dramatic drops in sales. Apartment owners who rent to immigrants have high vacancy rates and risk losing their buildings. Legal workers or renters or consumers don't generally step in quickly enough to prevent these businesses from experiencing real additional hardship."

But they are not just leaving. Those who stay aren't spending money. Because of fear.

"The economy's already bad, but on top of it [SB 1070] is like a bullet in the head to us," said Osameh Odeh, 35, whose Eden Wear clothing store was empty one recent afternoon. "People don't come out of their houses anymore."

I will enjoy watching the Arizona experiment play out.
