It seemed like a good idea at the time

Really bad ideas

Classic rock reunion tours are almost always a bad idea.

Classic comedy remakes starring unfunny British assholes is always a bad idea.

It's also never a good idea to let Stephen Colbert catch you in his hypocrisy net.

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.

In the pantheon of horrible toys it ranks just above Bag O' Glass

Those kids look like they're really having "fun" on that thing, don't they.
