Yesterday's Leftovers For 5/5/10: Why Is Michael Brown Even On TV?

Now normally, I want to be a little complex and snarky with the titles, but this is just a question that needed no sign of facetiousness. How is this prominent notorious figure of how disastrous and dangerous the previous Administration was to this country somehow able to resurface on TV out of nowhere like he's just a regular conservative nutcase expert. I mean, I thought there was universal consensus on who failed and who should never show their faces on TV with regards to Katrina? I thought at least on that very topic that all of us, from our incompetent media to even the nuts on the right, would agree that the "Heckuva Job" one was forever given an unofficially anodyne to showing his face on television again. Of course the protagonist in this sudden reimage of a disgraceful figure is the Murdoch Comedy Network , never ever a shame to give a first platform to the nutcases they worship. No surprise there at all. But why would the Tweety one, even in all of his ...

Lovely: Your Tax Dollars Payed For Blackwater To Have Fun With Prostitutes And More!

Prepare for your jaw to possibly reached the Earth's core when you read what you are about to read. In an outrageously explosive story from Mark Mazzetti of the New York Times , your favorite corrupt and dangerous contracting company (wannabe holy war crusaders) that was thankfully told to get out Iraq today has been given more of your tax payers dollars than they deserve for a litany of fun frivolous things like messing with prostitutes. Oh yes, you read correctly: Two former employees of Blackwater Worldwide have accused the private security company of defrauding the government for years by filing bogus receipts, double billing for the same services and charging government agencies for strippers and prostitutes, according to court documents unsealed this week. Amazing enough, this lawsuit didn't just pop up out of the blue today or yesterday. In a December 2008 lawsuit , the former employees said top Blackwater officials had engaged in a pattern of deception as they ...

Meanwhile, Obama Goes To NOLA....Jindal Gets Booed While In Attendance

The story the news media left in order to cover the 6 year old boy supposedly stuck on the hot air balloon (but wasn't and is missing at the moment of the post) was President Obama returning to New Orleans today and how he promises to rebuild that city (and I side note caveat, with potentially James Perry at the helm of it). But probably more hilarious today was the fact that Louisiana's tippy toeing governor Bobby Jindal, who was in attendance, got booed when President Obama mentioned him. Just watch: It sometimes is amazing how irony can hit at any time, isn't it? To add : At that town hall, a 4 year old little boy asked the President , "Why does everyone hate you?" "They're supposed to love you," he continued. After the crowd swooned, Obama responded that the boy should take criticism of him with "a grain of salt." "One party feels like they need to poke you, keep you on your toes," he said. "When things are tough, you...
