acroyearDear AP (and the Yahoo editors who select "Top Stories"):
Subsequent revelations have shown that "Joe the Plumber" didn't tell one single word of truth to Obama that day. Not a single one. Given that he appears to be unable to tell a single word of truth, why the hell are you giving him a front page line-item over the fact that he "endorses McCain" (which all of us knew was true the second he opened his mouth 3 weeks ago)?
There are people for whom their 15 minutes are up. "Joe the Plumber" is one of them.
Dear Charlie Crist and Hank Williams Jr.:
Repeating a lie, particularly one so easily disproved, doesn't make it true.
Mr. Crist, your state is already leaning more Democratic than you should care to admit. Maybe it would be better if you were to show that you could argue your position from a standpoint of truth and maintain what little respect your party has in that state than to repeatedly shove a lie down the throats of a electorate that is certainly growing sick of lies and has told you so. Your next election probably will depend on it.
Mr. Williams Jr, you're a good musician and singer, but that doesn't make you in any way an authority on politics, economics, or certainly the congressional budget process. Quit repeating the lies you are paid to repeat and make your money the way a professional musician is supposed to - go sue your record label.
Dear Mr. "Joe the Plumber":
STFU.
p.s., that's not "censorship" to anyone except to you, who seem also unable to figure out the definition of "socialist".
Dear Ms. Palin:
You have shown now that creationists actually know more about real science than you do. That's a tough thing, so I must congratulate you. Now shut up about it and stick to lying about your own earmarks instead.
There are plenty of things to learn about fruit flies (whether the types used for genetics research or the types that actually attack crops) that farmers in California would love to know about...and the rest of Americans depend on to have vegetables on their table.
Where do you get your food from, anyways? I didn't know Alaska had its own orange groves...or does everything just come down that magical pipeline you keep wanting to throw money at?

Date: 2008-10-28 08:17 pm (UTC)Basically, in listing the earmarks she's against, she listed $10mil we sent to France for "fruit fly research". now there are two types of fruit fly research going on around the world (and the facility in France is one of the best in the world).
1) Genetics research (you know, that "evolution" thang), done with a particular type of fly because it is short-lived and breeds rapidly, allowing for a lot of potential for mutations and selection.
2) Fruit flies that cause epidemics and how to control them given the ever-increasing resistance to pesticides (you know, that "evolution" thang).
Either way, she says fruit fly does nothing for the "public good" which is utter bullshit to anybody who remembers the massive California infestation of 1979.
To make matters worse, she decries these earmarks but said nothing about 3 other science research projects (that just happened to have been to Alaskan universities or firms).
So, on the earmarks issue, she either really is against them (and is only playing them because it is her expected role as Mayor and Governor), in which case Alaskans should not be supporting her (and McCain) as it means the potential loss of a significant amount of income, OR she's a hypocritical idiot who has no intention of changing anything and is running on an utter lie.
I'm more inclined to the latter.
