In 2020, America elected Joe Biden to be not-Trump—a role for which he seemed well-suited. In 2016, the country voted for burn-it-all-down upheaval. Trump was the tribune of those who felt betrayed and misled and mistreated. Four chaotic years later, alarmed voters fled into the arms of an aging former vice-president and senator—a man they had twice rejected as a presidential contender—who seemed the personification of the steady hand. No one expected Biden to be transformational or extraordinary, but we did need him to be the anti-Trump in the most important ways. We needed him to be sober and responsible,...

Texas Governor Rick Perry, played by SNL's Bill Hader, paid a visit to 'Weekend Update' to explain his recent strange behavior in New Hampshire that some have speculated was driven by drinking too much alcohol. Republican presidential candidate Governor Rick Perry gave a remarkable speech in New Hampshire last week that set in motion broad speculation that Perry, who is losing badly in every nationally-recognized poll, was intoxicated. Perry contended the speech was more reflective of the fact that he "felt great" during it, according to the Washington Post, where full video of Perry's speech was included.

...the near future: Augustus Merryweather IV glanced up at the tapping on his office door. Harvey Carbunkle stood there... "You're firing me?" "I have no choice. Your work, ...it hasn't been up to the standard we expect for an editor at Merryweather Publishing. Frankly, I'm surprised. When I saw that you were a graduate of BU, I couldn't wait to hire you..." A proud smile. "Yes, sir. That's Beck University." Augustus was confused. "I've never heard of..." ..."You know, Glenn Beck? ...He founded an online university back in 2010 so people could learn the real truth they don't get in...

I posted this back in June: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2274570/posts The big lie technique is being used against every American to the right of Marx and nobody cares. If we can't challenge these lies (and there are a few more out there) that are PROVEN falsehoods, then we deserve to lose over and over again. Public perception is being shaped by these phony quotes. The quotes are in emails, books, on forums, MSNBC, The Huffington Post. This last post, I put it into pictures so it is easy to see the fraud. Here: http://www.andimright.com/?p=449 ___________________________ New we see a new wave of these...

After watching Sarah plain get savaged by Letterman and seeing her stalwart defense of her daughter, it had become apparent that the left needed a check. Over at doubleplusundead, there was an excellent post about counter punching: http://doubleplusundead.mee.nu/a_tribute_to_not_backing_down I decided that it was time to put some liberal lies to rest. The first will be this despicable fraud they are laying on Rush Limbaugh. Both versions of these quotes are frauds: "You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray. We miss you, James. Godspeed." "You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray...

Forget the Reuters “fauxtography” scandal (well, don’t actually forget it) — the Dylan world is rocked this morning by a completely unsourced quote published in the Christian Science Monitor, in an article that attempts some kind of overview of Dylan’s career coinciding with the release of Modern Times . (Thanks to RCB for the tip.) Here it is, in context (bolding mine): Dylan, who declined to comment for this article, remains, as ever, an enigma. (Three years ago, he called himself “a 62-year-old Jewish atheist.'’) But he’s more open than he’s ever been about his past, even opening himself to...
