"[...]and also labeling certain websites and institutions (such as Reason and the CATO Institute) as being "ultra right wing," which is funny if you know much about Reason or Cato."
Though this whole thing is wholly insane, the Libertarian politics are generally associated with right-wing politics and ideology. If anything, the majority of libertarian politics can be described as anti-state right-wing. One can easily be forgiven for thinking of the Cato Institute as right-wing given their association with the Koch brothers and opposition to climate change/global warming science.
A quick Google search also reveals that Officer Lyons is an author of a book on the history of law enforcement in Oceanside. He can definitely be proud of repsecting the legacy of a storied department. At the same time, I wonder if he'll see more interest being shown in his book? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/073853112X/reasonmagazineA
As I am rather prone to self-doubt, I thought to myself: "Maybe Big Mook is right. Maybe I am being flippant. Maybe the public face of the TEA party is not the somewhat racist-ish, uneducated horde that we see so much." So I went on a highest-rated (by Google) site which is teapartypatriots.org and checked out some random blogs of their supporters. I also scanned the news. Here are my findings of the world according to Teabaggers:
1. 27 x 65 = 7555
2. President Obama is a secret Muslim.
3. It's OK to shoot cops if you're feeling oppressed.
4. Anders Breivik is a liberal but he's right that multi-culturalism is a bad idea.
I think I'll stick with the derogatory term Teabagger for the time being.
A. Not all people who place their scrotums in other people's mouths are closeted homosexuls. Some are quite open homosexuals. In fact, not all people who do that are homosexuals at all. If you were to put your balls into your very heterosexual wife's mouth, that would still be considered teabagging. By ascribing the act of teabagging to closeted homosexuals, you reveal your own prejudice.
B. There's a difference between teabaggers and Teabaggers. I do not identify all conservatives as Teabaggers. In fact, I am rather conservative/liberatrian. The Teabaggers are the people who roll around spewing outrage about about sand storms being referred to as haboob and changing facts to suit their prejudices and creating their own encyclopediae to suit the imagined "facts".
Has someone else got any other fascinating insights into my character?
The particularly ironic part that Conservapedia and it's Teabagger ilk are now talking about the horror of violent video games, is that before the arrest of Anders Breivik they were all in agreement that this is the work of Muslims and they need to be all shipped back where they came from...
How dare you suggest that nothing came out of The Lab? A $600 cookbook came out of there... Wanna know a secret of a pefect hamburger? Liquid nitrogen. That's right, the morning of your BBQ stop by your local Home Depot for a jug of liquid nitrogen and start dipping the patties in it before throwing them on the grill. Long live Intellectual Ventures! Long live Innovation!
I's got a lawsuit, you's got a lawsuit, all God's children got a lawsuit
Here's another thought: since this lawsuit would make it impossible for Melissa Molinaro to do any commercials without the everpresent threat of another lawsuit and would effectually bar her from doing any more advertisement work, she should just counter sue Kim Kardashian for interference with commerce. I'll bet that a threat of a 20-yr sentence would do wonders.
First of all, why did she sue Old Navy? Old Bany doesn't look like Kim Kardashian, Melissa Molinaro does. Shouldn't that latter have been sued for infringement?
In any case, I think I have a solution: Kim Kardashian used to date Reggie Bush. Now Melissa Molinaro is dating him. I think Reggie Bush should be called in as an expert witness to say whether they are more similar or more different.
Change the players and this sounds pretty much like the plot of Tim Cushing's post "Iran Declares Victory Over Internet-In-A-Suitcase" (http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110702/17562214956/iran-declares-victory-over-internet-in-a-suit case.shtml)
Mary Pickford has also famously stated that “adding sound to movies would be like putting lipstick on the Venus de Milo.” Not to ention the fact that UA was barely alive by early 1950's. Yeah... not the greatest track record...
The irony, says Arredondo, is that the people buying the book are probably good parents.
"The people reading this book are educated parents, who actually care about their children and are frustrated that often their children don't behave the way storybooks display."
So they know that the article isn't even for the people who read the book. It's for the people who don't.
