• AP: Obama‘s Presidency a Global ’Disappointment’

  May 13, 2012 at 11:35pm

  nice so the economic woes are actually tied to the US? Weird. I didn’t realize that we somehow forced their governments to allow people to retire at age 45 with full salary and benefits despite not being able to pay for it.

  Oh and of the banks that collapsed, MANY of them were headquartered in Europe and sold securities in the US. No one held a gun to anyone’s head and forced them to buy mortgaged backed securities. Then again, why would I expect a European/Democrat/Socialist/Communist to have any personal accountability?

• It’s Official: This Surfer Caught the Largest Wave Ever Ridden

  May 13, 2012 at 11:26pm

  In reply to lukerw.

  Other than ride the hundreds of thousands of dollars in contest, sponsorship and photo/video payments all the way to the bank? gee I don’t know. /Sarc

  It‘s amazing how many people don’t realize how much money there is in surfing or skateboarding. That ‘punk kid’ you see flipping around the street could very well be earning 4 times your salary.

• Anderson Cooper Blasts MoveOn.org Spokesman for Deceptive Ad Regarding GOP and Women’s Health

  May 5, 2012 at 7:12pm

  Good for, Anderson! I have no problem with him attacking the Right with this kind of verve so long as he attacks the left like this as well since that is what is called….wait for it….journalism.
  People in his position should be looking at things as pragmatically as possible and attacking all sides on the areas that are pure spin and posturing. That’s kinda how it used to be done. Between him and Jake Tapper we are in danger of finding some actual journalism again in America.

• Hannity Rips Apart Occupy Organizer in Tense Segment: ‘Get Your Ass Out of Bed…and Get to Work!”

  May 4, 2012 at 6:16pm

  Haha Hannity wasted this fool. He is right too. Get off your ass and get a job. We aren’t put on this earth into gilded thrones. You have to earn what you get. If you expect to take from others and not give anything back (by working hard for the money they pay you for example) you are by definition a parasite.

  It is also no surprise that the guy is 29 with no job. There is no reason to not even have a PT gig FFS. The people with no stake in the game always seem to be the Socialists. I can’t tell you how many of my high school chums bought into that BS only to find themselves tacking considerably further right once the reality of paying a boatload in taxes to support deadbeats kicked in.

  One thing this guy is right about though is Capitalism is absolutely failing. However, it is failing because it is hybridizing with Socialism and cronyism is out of control. Pure Capitalism is an undeniably winning system, we just don’t practice it anymore.

  wow. the incoherent ramblings of a lunatic mind right there.

• This Group Didn’t Want to Pay an Automatic Gratuity, Restaurant Responds by Locking Them Inside & Calling Police

  May 3, 2012 at 6:13pm

  To all the waiters and waitresses on here crying…boo f’n hoo. If you don’t like people stiffing you, get a different job. MOST people tip and most tip well. I know because I’ve been a waiter. I have found that 100% of the people who cry about the non-tippers are usually HORRIBLE servers and have attitude and are just awful awful people and can‘t figure out why a person wouldn’t wanna pay a dour a-hole extra money.
  In the case of this lady, the policy sucks, however she has to pay. If the menu states there will be an automatic charge then guess, what? You are paying the charge.
  The restaurant owner should be charged with unlawful detainment though. You are not allowed to hold people against their will even if you think they have stolen from the store. If the lady were smart she would have called 911 immediately after having the doors locked on her and said she was being held against her will. I would have.

• Third Employee Fired After Another Edited George Zimmerman 911 Tape Surfaces

  May 3, 2012 at 5:46pm

  To not issue an on air retraction is inexcusable. If it was a printed story, you should release a printed story or better. If it was on air, it should be on air. None of this issuing a statement to be run on pg 17 of the Local Shopper Newspaper.
  This is a significant breech of the public trust. That can’t be stressed enough. If the FCC had any dignity they would pull their broadcast license for this until they clarify the matter.

• ‘Tax Me, For F@%&‘s Sake’: Author Stephen King Slams the GOP & Calls for Higher Taxes on the Wealthy In Virulent Op-Ed

  May 1, 2012 at 9:10pm

  What a foolish article. I don‘t think anyone thinks that people should pay their ’fair share‘ but it’s moronic at best to suggest that the wealthiest in society don’t already pay the bulk of the tax burden. It’s not even close. They pay more in terms of actual dollars, in terms of total percentage and individual percentage.

  Also, it is truly the liberal conceit to believe that government somehow spends wisely or efficiently. He talks about donating money to the fireman so they can get the jaw of life. Does he really think they would get that equipment as quickly had they put in a requisition to some government bureaucratic mess of a department and had to wait for it to be approved while they took out money to put into some other BS payoff project first? I‘m betting on ’no’

  This whole ‘pay their fair share’ thing is just another in a long line of liberal misdirection moves. Get people riled up over a non-issue while they slip some other more sinister plot in through the backdoor. non-libs really need to get more aggressive in calling them out on this BS and not stand for it anymore. I mean a LOT more aggressive. (note: I said aggressive not violent )

• On bin Laden anniversary, Romney ‘applauds’ Obama

  May 1, 2012 at 8:59pm

  Look at that…Romney behaving Presidential and Obama doing everything possible not to behave Presidential…I wonder which one should be in the White House…

  Oh and yes, Obama definitely needs to learn that his sole role in that operation was picking up a phone and saying “yeah go ahead”

  Again, I don’t care who the POTUS is/was in a situation like that, all the credit on my end goes, 90% to the soldiers executing the mission and the other 10% to the people who spent weeks and years gathering the intel and planning the mission from top to bottom to minimize any chance of troop casualties on the ground. NOT the guy who says ‘hmmm sounds good. Do it’

• Watch Live Video From Occupy’s May Day Protests

  May 1, 2012 at 8:44pm

  That little chat box on the Global Revolution feed is pretty enlightening. Anyone who doesn’t think that this movement is a bunch of violent thugs and/or believes that their aim is to turn the US in a communist society need to take a peek at that chat box and understand who is truly in the lead of this movement.
