Sweet Release Product Endorsement Thread

This post will be the first of an occasional, non regular product endorsement series. Basically, it's shit that I think you should own.

First up? I give you the iFart.

Now I don't own the iFart app. Hell, I don't even own an iPhone. But what I do have, occasionally, is a boring job with quite a bit of downtime. And why would I want to watch youtube videos all day when I can do this...





So all of you iPhone owners I beg you. Take advantage of this priceless opportunity to prank the office douche bag with a hi-tech whoopie cushion!

Plus according to the iFart website the app comes equipt with a "security fart". Because who wants to steal a farting iPhone.

This Guy Wanted To Be President

John McCain was none to happy that the girls on the View actually asked him tough questions.

According to Barbara Walters, the show's creator and co-host, McCain told her at
a recent Washington event he won't be appearing on the daily gabfest "any time
soon."
"He had been on The View and was not very happy," Walters told a
gathering at Syracuse University, according
to Portfolio.com. "And when we walked out and I saw him I said, 'Senator, so
nice to see you. I hope you'll come on The View again.' And he looked at me and
said, 'Not anytime soon.'”

The man who the right wing told us would be the tough and seasoned leader, ready on day one to fight the terrorists with his wrinkley old sausage hands practically crapped in his depends when he got asked tough questions by the ladies on the VIEW.

That guy..... wanted to be President. Have I thanked baby Jesus lately?

Obama Signs Stimulus Bill

John Boehner's head explodes...

“In response to the President’s request for input, Republicans offered a better solution that would create twice as many jobs at half the cost. Instead of delivering a responsible, transparent, bipartisan bill to create ‘jobs, jobs, jobs,’ the Democratic Congress produced a trillion-dollar, special-interest pork-laden, partisan backroom deal that will do little to get our economy back on track."

Oh, poor Republicans... They just can't understand why the mean old Democrats won't do exactly as Republicans say. I wonder if it has anything to do with this?













































I know that not every Republican idea is a bad one, but they are certainly the last people who should be lecturing anyone on the economy.

They had their shot, and they failed spectacularly.

Coolest. Website. Ever.

Total Lunacy

It's pretty well known that the Republican party doesn't believe in history. Normally, their attempts to rewrite history are so silly that they aren't even worth writing about. But this moves beyond silly, and into batshit insane territory.

I give you Mitch McConnell...

“But one of the good things about reading history is you learn a good deal. And,
we know for sure that the big spending programs of the New Deal did not work. In
1940, unemployment was still 15%. And, it’s widely agreed among economists, that
what got us out of the doldrums that we were in during the Depression was the
beginning of World War II.”

Now, Mitch McConnell is correct when he says unemployment was at 15% in 1940. What he fails to mention is that unemployment in 1933 (when the new deal was put into motion) was a whopping 25%. I can gauran-freakin-tee you that you would have a hard time finding another President that lowered unemployment by 10%. I'd say Roosevelt was probably doing something right.

But the funniest part of Mitchy's claim is when he says that big government spending didn't get us out of the depression, but WWII did. Uh, what exactly was WWII but a massive government spending program? It would seem to me that, if anything, WWII proved that the New Deal didn't contain enough government spending!

This is just another reason why Obama never should even bother trying to work with the majority of congressional Republicans. Compromise, and bipartisanship is a worthwhile goal when the other side brings good ideas to the table.

But you have nothing to gain by trying to work with people who are certifiably nuts.
