Or, more accurately, how stupid does Fox News think you are if you watch them? Watch this short clip showing angry protestors while Bill O’Reilly talks about the outside agitators who are bussed in to the protests in Wisconsin. There’s just one problem.

In keeping with Chicago tradition, his victory was announced two weeks ago.” – Conan O’Brien “Congratulations to Rahm Emanuel on being elected as mayor of Chicago. How do I know he will win?

[reprinted from Bullseye Rooster.] “If American workers are being denied their right to organize and collectively bargain, when I’m in the White House, I’ll put on a comfortable pair of shoes myself, I’ll walk on that picket line with you as President of the United States of America.” – Barack Obama, November 2nd, 2007 in […]
[reprinted from Political Relief. Thanks Chris!] Libya Darling and Keep the Oil Flowing For a country that did something truly revolutionary 235 years ago and is rightfully proud of it, our reactions to the recent protests in the Arab world would leave all but the most cynical person scratching their heads.
