You do understand that there are TWO sides to the Tea Party? Those who are the elite pay-masters and claiming a grass roots "revolution" to elect officials that propose legislation that weakens the middle class and strengthens the ultra wealthy at the expense of the poor? And of course the poor stupid fucks who listen to them and believe that they are the true voice of the American people?

On Paul Ryan WineGate Shows He Has a Hard Time with Basic Math
If this serves to destroy the myth that the Tea Party is the party of the average-income, tax-paying, overworked "real" American, and their "everyday" people who they elected to Congress to serve them, then we need to shine a light on this. The false narrative that the republicans have impossibly been successful in telling is that the Democrats are somehow this evil elitist group of people who do not represent the American people because they do not understand the needs and concerns of the American people. They call the President an arugula eating, wine-sipping, cloistered intellectual.
If you don't see how an avowed Tea Party leader blowing five hundred bucks on a dinner for three in WASHINGTON is not news, then you have not been paying attention these past few years.

@Lockheed Ventura As with most skills these days, even humans prefer robots to pleasure themselves. With robots? We have no chance.

On There Will Never Ever Be Jobs Again
Oh, Business! I see what you did there! You spent millions lobbying for tax breaks and incentives to create an atmosphere of competetiveness in the US economy, Then you threaten if we don't extend the tax cuts, you'll have to start laying people off! Brilliant! And now that you got everyfuckingthingyiuwanted, you tell us that robots are cheaper, so go fuck yourselves, you obsolete pieces of shit!
Aren't we angry enough yet to start protesting in the streets ala Egypt?

On Spiteful Millionaire Dog Dies, Leaves All Her Money To Cats
Does anyone else have the feeling that this dead woman would make a perfect candidate for Tea Party/Republican ticket of 2012? Her hotels were always top notch, though.

On In The Future You Will Tap Someone On The Shoulder And Ask Them To Video Chat
Yes, were I in any normally adjusted country, that would be less than effective. But what about places where direct male to female communication is equal to public sex? Well, introductions might be a bit less harrowing- a lot more efficient than throwing a folded-up note into a passing car. . .

On Lionfish: Beautiful, Unstoppable Killing Machines Of The Deep
There are a couple of movements to get these things marketable as gourmet food. It's a very non fishy taste. They have moved into the southern US waterways to a deleterious effect. They are, despite the video segment, 'slow' fish: it's possible for small-haul fishermen to catch them with casting nets that do not ensnare the other reef fish. But they are a problem enough that NOAA is putting funding out to try to get rid of them. So next time you see lionfish advertised as some sort of delicacy, grin and eat it as your part to preserve noninvasive fish everywhere.

On Children's Books Bad
So, is the question that good children's literature with female protags don't get published? Or is it that there are those who feel that writers should make stories according to what others feel that they should? Cause I gotta tell you, there are LOT of shitty kids books out there, and one of the worst problems is that they are just too PREACHY. Kids music too. These days you can't be a kid and read books that celebrate doing dumb kid stuff. It's all about being a good sibling or always brushing your teeth or some other nonsense.
Adding another requirement that writers should write about half and half girls and boys is missing the point of books altogether. We should celebrate writers who write good books because that is what they like to do.

On A Guide to American Majority's Plan to Dismantle Public Schools
Oh, God, yes! That psychopath Beck would be far more palatable if he had facts on his side. But Beck's arugments are absolutely useless once you insert facts into them. It's like trying to figure out how Santa can visit so many houses in just one night. You ruin the magic of it. You see, contrary to your belief system, there are those who do value fact above emotion and dialogue above rhetoric.

@Playrighter
Um, I did read the story, and it clearly states that they are dining at the establishment. Now the original story has changed from the time that I wrote my post, so perhaps there was some clarification.
Nevertheless, I have drunk many an expensive wine, scotch, etc, and I can tell you that I am always aware of the price "band" being comfortably in the middle class-I would be MORE concerned by the price if I were in a high-end wine establishment - in fact I probably wouldn't go because I'd be too embarrassed that I couldn't pay my share of the bill. Whether it was food or wine, willing or no, a man who claims that Washington is too big, greedy, elitist and self important, was drinking a bottle of $350 wine with HEDGE-FUNDERS, one of which claimed mind-bendingly that the President and Congress were responsible for the financial crisis? And you quibble about whether they dined or not?
Sir, here is the forest, which you probably could not see because of the pine needles lodged in your mouth.
