Linky . Or uhhh....wait....errr Black People Hate Fox News. The New York Times' Brian Stelter tweeted that, according to Nielsen Media Research, Fox News has averaged just 29,000 black viewers in primetime so far this television season (9/09-7/10). That represents just 1.38% of its 2.102 million total viewer audience. CNN and MSNBC, meanwhile, both have far more black viewers, both in absolute terms and as a proportion of their overall audiences. It's not rea...
Frum on the Breitbart mess. I have two initial thoughts on the whole thing: 2 initial thoughts: 1. BWA HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA BWA HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHA 2. How exactly do you fuck this up? Look folks, it's not rocket science. It's not complicated. It's not difficult. Want to pr...
Via Slashdot , a very in depth and detailed comparison of Windows and Ubuntu at the European Dell site : Choose WINDOWS if: * You are already using WINDOWS programs (e.g. Microsoft Office, ITunes etc) and want to continue using them * You are familiar with WINDOWS and do not want to learn new programs for email, word processing etc * You are new to using computers Choose UBUNTU if: * You do not plan to use Microsoft WINDOWS ...
I didn't bother reading the comments, but I'm sure they're not pretty. Redstate : Mark Williams is a complete moron for writing that piece when and how he wrote it. It surpasses the level of stupid often relegated to Ron Paul. He gave the NAACP exactly what they wanted. He allowed himself to become distracted and lashed out in emotional response. Had Mr. Williams showed a bit of patience, he could have been writing today about real racism in the NAACP courtesy of Andrew Brei...
Linky here : The first of the fundamental objections bristled at the phrase "culturally modern." Was this code for jettisoning social conservatives from the Republican party? Two answers. First, "culturally modern" refers to a lot more than just the abortion/stem cells/same-sex marriage cluster of issues. A culturally modern party is one comfortable with science and technology, with women's equality, and with a globalized economy. It'...
Still more bwa ha ha ha. This NAACP thing is the gift that's just going to keep on giving : Vice President Biden said Sunday that neither he nor the president thinks the Tea Party is a "racist organization," after the NAACP voted Tuesday to condemn the "racist elements" in the conservative activist movement. Biden, speaking on ABC's "This Week," said both members and those on the "periphery" of the movement have expressed "racist...
BWAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA Oh god : After screaming all week that there is absolutely no racism in Tea Party groups, today the “National Tea Party Federation” expelled Mark Williams and his “Tea Party Express” for … something. Couldn’t be racism, there is none in the Tea Party. You might remember Mark Williams as the medium sized fish who almost got away before totally going Chernobyl with the White Guy Argument (TM) blogpost . The presser from the Natio...
Gizmodo : If these people would spend even some of the energy that they spend on these comic books, reading the Bible, well no high hopes here. They have turned comic book characters into idols, and worship them they do! Isaiah 2:8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: 9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. It is time to put away the silly vanities and turn ...
He just couldn't leave it alone .... Perhaps the most racist point of all in the tea parties is their demand that government "stop raising our taxes." That is outrageous! How will we Colored People ever get a wide screen TV in every room if non-coloreds get to keep what they earn? Totally racist! The tea party expects coloreds to be productive members of society? Astounding. TPM says it best: Again, for the record: this how an official ...
This one might get away : "They make more money off of race than any slave trader ever. It's time groups like the NAACP went to the trash heap of history where they belong with all the other vile racist groups that emerged in our history," - Mark Williams, a national spokesman for the Tea Party Express. He might come back for it though. I don't think the bait gets any better.
Oh this is fantastic . The NAACP has passed a resolution condemning racism in the Tea Party movement. The resolution was approved in a vote by more than 2,000 delegates at the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Kansas City. Versions of the resolution condemned "explicitly racist behavior" in the Tea Party movement and called on people to "repudiate" what it described as racist elements of the...
Sad. George Steinbrenner has died . The snark is in the comments. Enjoy. I really don't have any particular beef with the Yankees. Being a god fearin' sout sider, my baseball ire is directed at far more worthy targets, and at 39-50, having suspended their 'star pitcher', and attendance amongst by the surburban masses dwindling , it's been a good year. That and my Sox are in first place.
Downloadsquad : Other Windows XP users are not as fortunate; these are mainly people sitting in gray, depressing cubicles, with restrictive IT departments and massive corporate-wide Windows installations. Up until today, these cubicled masses had some hope for a friendlier computing environment. After all, XP wasn't going to be supported forever, right? Wrong. Today Microsoft announced Windows 7 users will be able to downgrade to XP at any point during Windows 7's life cycle. For...
TDB : Meghan McCain: I told my father that you made a comment about Obama’s tanning-booth tax, and he knew who you were, and I was like, “Well, you should Twitter her.” So what did you think when he did that? Snooki Polizzi: I thought it was pretty frickin’ awesome because I voted for McCain. So the fact that he actually acknowledged like what I was saying about the tanning booth… It was crazy because I never thought, like, what I was saying on the show, that he...
Oh man. This is guaranteed to generate many laughs . SAN FRANCISCO — In a tongue-in-cheek call for immigration reform, farm workers are teaming up with comedian Stephen Colbert to challenge unemployed Americans: Come on, take our jobs. Farm workers are tired of being blamed by politicians and anti-immigrant activists for taking work that should go to Americans and dragging down the economy, said Arturo Rodriguez, the president of the United Farm Workers of America. So the group i...
