Here is a great quote from Jesse Ventura on Sarah Palin, "She quit to get money. Jesus, how do people not see that! She saw greener pastures, said, Screw the people of Alaska, and went on to collect.”

Glenn Beck is calling on his listeners to donate money to the US Chamber of Commerce. He is literally asking American workers to give their hard-earned wages back to their corporate employers, so their employers can use that money to advocate a public policy agenda that benefits the rich.

Brian Kilmeade of Fox News stated this morning that "not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslim." - proving once and for all that not all idiots are anchors on Fox News, but all anchors on Fox News are idiots.

Phoenix cop charged with murder: Cop put his pistol against Danny Frank Rodriguez’s head and told him he didn’t need a warrant when Rodriguez ordered him out of his house. During the next few minutes, Chrisman shocked Rodriguez with a stun gun, shot his pit bull, then fatally shot Rodriguez

Life just isn't fair sometimes: "The U.S. Justice Department will prosecute possession and distribution of marijuana in California even if voters approve a ballot measure to legalize the drug, Attorney General Eric Holder said."
