Bad ideas come in threes

A school system in California had banned the use of a dictionary in it schools because it has the definition of 'oral sex' in it. In doing so they also stopped kids from finding out what the words 'over-reaction,' 'idiot,' and 'sanctimonious jack asses' mean. But what's going to happen now is that the smart kids will seek out copies of the dictionary that has been banned and they'll look up all sorts of words and they'll actually learn a little something in the process.

President Obama is pandering to the right wing, which by the way will never ever work with him, once again. He's proposing a freeze in discretionary government spending...right in the middle of a recession...with unemployment running at 10%. Dude, not a smart move. This move is akin to putting a band aid on a sucking chest wound.

What we need to do is put a permanent end to spending billions on agriculture subsidies that pay farmers not to grow things and that pay farmers billions to grow more and more and more corn. We need to stop paying billions into the prison industrial complex and billions upon billions into the military industrial complex. Oh yeah, and let's save billions and billions and billions, by ending the wars of terror on Iraq and Afghanistan.

And finally, the idiot Governor of California
wants to outsource the only thing his state has a surplus of, prisoners, to Mexico.

With an idiot like that leading your state California, I bet you guys think back wistfully on the good old days when Gray Davis was governor. As much as I like some of you people out there, I thank my lucky stars every day that I don't live in your state.

Contraband dictionaries! If I didn't know better I would say it was a subversive plot to get kids interested in literacy.

Ugh - because you know the teenagers of the world get their info on sex from Merriam & Webster. Bah!

We should all go back to bed and do today over.

The stupidity is mind blowing. That dictionary story is especially insane.

Visit truemajority.com for an easy lesson on the military budget.

And how about no more bailouts unless you directly serve the American people. Otherwise is CAPITALISM BABY - just what you banks and large companies voted for!

I remember having no idea what masterbation meant.
I looked it up in the dictionary to find out. :D

Yeah kids.. that's what we had to do "back in the day" (by back in the day I mean the 80's)

looking up dirty words in the dictionary is a right of passage for all children!

Good thing I moved to Georgia! Gawd, I never thought I'd say that.

Don't worry about us. Zsa Zsa's eleventeenth husband just filed papers to run for governor, so help is on the way.

I'm hoping the proposed spending freeze is a trap for Republicans, because how are they supposed to oppose a spending freeze? But they'll oppose it because Obama proposed it and will be finally exposed to everyone as the party-first obstructionists that some of us already know them to be. If it's not a trap, then I just don't know what to say. Triangulation didn't work all that well for Bill Clinton, so Obama should know that it definitely won't work for him. The right is never going to embrace him so he should just govern for the majority that elected him.

It's getting to the point that I don't want to know what's going on. Because even though I have low blood pressure, it climbs.
