idiocy

It’s true! I just went in the garage and stood in a bucket. I tugged on the handle and lifted myself. Dangdest thing ever.

[sappy]

Awesome. So simply put and yet so powerful! I can’t wait to use this on my liberal in-laws at Christmas. I said it CHRISTmas.

Pic #1 looks like a guy in drag
Pic #2 looks like Austin Powers, not in drag.

the argument would work on extending the Bush tax cuts to everybody.

[ReformedBeckite]

There they go again, those Democrats are creating shovel ready jobs. They are creating big piles of unbelievable stinky shit for us to clean up, and it sure has been a stinky day.

[GourmetDan]

I want to get paid for not raising hogs.

"Now another thing, these hogs I will not raise will not eat 100,000 bushels of corn. I understand that you also pay farmers for not raising corn and wheat. Will I qualify for payments for not raising wheat and corn not to feed the 4000 hogs I am not going to raise?"

"Also, I am considering the "not milking cows" business, so send me any information you have on that too."

How on earth do people this STUPID get national facetime?!!!

[randita]

Wow, think how much the economy would be stimulated if ALL OF US were drawing unemployment benefits.

Twenty-six weeks is six months. If you can’t find ANY JOB in six months, what is the probability of you finding employment after your benefits expire? Probabily better than still receiving unemployment checks, which gets people accustomed to not working and not looking for work.

It's easy. As long as there is an audience that is as stupid or more stupid than her (him?), she's got an audience to preach to.

"The single most effective policy for creating jobs: unemployment benefits"

[mulligan]

And that is a very kind statement. It is hard to believe that there are people that stupid.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Well let’s think about this. How many people does it take to process the application for benefits, two, three, ten? Depends on the gubmint. How many apps can a gubmint grunt process in a day? And what’s his salary? as opposed to...how much grab can a gub grunt grant?
You know, she could be onto something! If we employ more people to give people money, than we have people getting money, we have more employment!
There’s just one hitch. Where will the gubmint get the loot to pay the caseworkers at unemployment?
Rachel, do you know?
Does anybody?
(all FReeper hands go up)
Er...Mr. Galt, where are you going? We’re not finished here!

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Why is it when people get to keep more of their own money it won’t help the economy...but when you take it from them and give it to someone else..it will?

You should make that your sig line. ;)

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Even stoned and drunk, I couldn’t have dreamt up this nonsense.

& ur psycho bunny -- !

[crazyhorse691]

So, all this time the libtards have been telling us trickle down economics doesn't work what they really meant is that it only works if the government does the trickling on us.

I did a bio once on Maddow and discovered she was a Stanford grad and a Rhodes Scholar (attended Oxford). This puzzled me a great deal. How can a person graduate from a top line university and be so incredible stupid and foolish. The only explanation I can come up with is that liberalism destroys the cognitive functions of the brain. She may have had a degree of intellectual prowess early in her life but when she crossed over to the dark side of liberalism, it destroyed any sense of reality. As the Radio talk show host Michael Savage says all the time; Liberalism is a Mental Disorder. Maddow has this disorder in spades.
