It appears that Obama's stimulus did help the economy. [pic].

Freepers: Down with Obamacare, Save our precious Health Insurance, fuck socialists. Freepers after having coverage denied: OH FUCK, HOW DO I ORDER DRUGS FROM CANADA?

You know I really didn't care about the "Tea Party" or what they were doing until I read this...the questionnaire they sent to candidates in my city. [Lunacy Inside]

It worked: Every Major Economic Research Firm Says Stimulus Added At Least 1.6 Million Jobs

The baby boomers were a golden generation. For the ordinary person there had never been a time of hope and opportunity like the one they inherited - free education, free health care and remarkable personal liberties – but they squandered it all. Now their children are paying for it

Pressure builds on NBC to explain why it's ruining the Olympics

NBC. Thank you for yet again ruining an olympic event for everyone by not streaming it live. WHO THE FUCK WANTS TO READ A LIVE BLOG OF MEN'S SNOWBOARD HALFPIPE?

OK I broke down and decided to watch the Olympics on NBC's website, but guess what, I have to have a fucking satellite or cable subscription to even be allowed to watch it and I have to prove it by signing into my account. Fuck You NBC, Fuck You.

“His burning desire to win, his utter refusal to quit, his desire to carry his team to the mountaintop made him a legend in his time.” Happy Birthday, Michael Jordan.

NBC Olympic coverage and website can eat my freaking shorts!!!
