This is just precious: WASHINGTON — About 200 union workers interrupted a meeting of mortgage bankers at a posh hotel Wednesday.

August 7th, 2009 | 2 Comments

I’ve been watching some videos of people getting very agitated while attending health care reform forums.  In some cases, legislators have resorted to locking people out entirely, such as this: To ease the tensions surrounding the issue, Obama’s staff have vowed to “punch back twice as hard“.  And of course, some Democrats are accusing Republicans, [...]

June 7th, 2007 | No Comments

Every time the G-8 convenes, a bunch of people feel compelled to protest. More often than not they don’t know why, they just know they have to. Like you know when you have to poop, pee, and eat, these people know they have to protest. Case in point about how they don’t even seem to [...]

Democrat John Edwards’ call for voters to speak out against the Iraq war on Memorial Day weekend has drawn criticism from a leader of the American Legion, who called the effort “revolting.”In an e-mail message and on his Web site, Edwards asks supporters to honor and pray for the troops over the Memorial Day weekend [...]

Speaking of publicly declaring your stupidity…..

August 30th, 2006 | No Comments

Fresh on the heels of the right to publicly declare your stupidity for all the world to see, I get this…..

“Republican murderers go home and kill your babies!” one young man yelled at theatergoers, a far cry from local public service messages urging New Yorkers to “make nice” to party delegates in the city for the four-day convention, where Bush will be nominated for another four-year term. “Bitch, go home! We don’t want you here!” [...]
