[...] Did Sarah Palin pressure her daughter? No. In fact, the question is answered within a dozen or so words. Enough following Fox News and it’s devious scheme of making any wild claim into a question. It’s stupid and unethical. It’s time for civil discourse, people. [...]

Some people say you are pretentious for just not going by Bill Wolfrum.

And why do Americans use body parts and waste as explitives? We love our dick but we call someone else that to put them down? We love women but call someone a sissy to put them down? We want our girl to give it up but we call others an asshole to put them down? We love to fuck, but we tell others to get fucked to put them down? American men are adolescent ball sacks filled with pusssies, or so I’ve heard.

The National Enquirer knew this long ago. One of my “pet jokes” has always been how they come up with the most outrageous stories, and then add, “say spies.” Covers just about everything, doesn’t it?

Excellent post, LMAO. Loved the way you worked in “Some people Say” and my fav words Assclown and Asshat. Thank you and I hope to read more of your work.

In the hospital when they want a stool sample they give you this little plastic bowl with a wide flat rim (brim?). You guessed it; the nurses called it “the hat.” Sorry, but that’s what I think about when you say “asshat.”
Or Joe Lieberman. Or Glenn Beck. Come to think of it maybe all the TV news people should wear “the hat” so everybody will know where they’re coming from.

LOL

You forgot the tried and true “No offense, but”

(I now stop people right there with, “I’m pretty sure your about to offend me…”)

eg. …Sen. Lieberman, I know your Wikipedia entry says you were once a Democrat, but, no offense, it seems like Karl Rove slipped you into the party to help Gore lose in 2000…
or
…no offense CNN, but, every time I see Glenn Beck on the screen I think of a zoo monkey flinging feces at the windows of its cage…

And of course, the timeless: “I’M not saying, but…”

as in, “I”M not saying Thomas Sowell should be anally raped with a rolled up copy of the Constitution, but some PATRIOTS may want to do just that…”

I got one better. One thing that was spot on was said at the GOP Debate, by Ron Paul, about trusting the Internet more than the media. The man deserves to be watched for saying that one thing alone The crap on cable is nothing but one long infomercial.

I watch zero media. I have 2 kids romping around a small villa, so this garbage is never on. We get the local newspaper. The rest is from scouring the internet, and I bounce the MSM websites more as a barometer than anything, then I dip into reader comments on multiple blogs to see what the real weather is like.

Great post. Lieberman has never questioned the civility of Fox News, as far as I know.

“Some people say” is discussed in Robert Greenwald’s documentary on Fox News, “Outfoxed.”

The use of question marks on Fox News was discussed by Jon Stewart on “The Daily Show.”

This blog entry has so much going for it. Not only is one of my favorite subjects of late, you also work in the term “assclown” for the win.

“Good: Is Glenn Beck a fucking ghoul?”

And you can add another dimension to this if you are on TV. While you ask the question, “Is Glenn Beck a fucking moronic idiot, assclown-lugnut”, nod you’re head “yes” ever so slightly several times, reminiscent classic Stone Phillips.

By the way, the answer to the question is yes, Glenn Beck is a dillhole.
