Another Saturday Evening Post

Victory over Japan Day
A little after noon Japan standard time on August 15, 1945, Emperor Hirohito's announcement of Japan's acceptance of the terms of the Potsdam Declaration was broadcast to the Japanese people over the radio. Earlier the same day, the Japanese government had broadcast an announcement over Radio Tokyo that "acceptance of the Potsdam Proclamation [would be] coming soon," and had advised the Allies of the surrender by sending a cable to U.S. President Harry S Truman via the Swiss diplomatic mission in Washington, D.C. - VJ Day

Beck Fucked With the Wrong Lizard
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- In what is shaping up to be one of the more effective boycott campaigns in years, advertisers are abandoning the "Glenn Beck" show on Fox News following the host's incendiary comments that President Barack Obama is a "racist" and has a "deep-seated hatred for white people." Among the advertisers to pull spots from the popular cable talk show are Geico, owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, Procter & Gamble, Sargento Cheese and Progressive Insurance ...

Bullshit talks, but money walks when you're an erratic, moronic fool who spouts insanity and pure racial hatred. That's why Limbaugh's biggest sponsors are the Heritage Foundation and Snapple. A foundation filled with Iraq neocon losers and who in the fuck drinks Snapple? GEICO dumped ElDrugbo long ago - It's about damn time they got rid of that idiotic clown Beck, too.

You couldn't make that shit up
That Academy Award Winning NutJob is Uninsured!
"The irony is that [Kenneth] Gladney’s situation underscores the vital need for health care reform. He was recently laid off and lost his insurance (14,000 Americans suffer a similar fate each day). Because he has no affordable health care option available, Gladney is now soliciting donations to pay his medical expenses;"


Hey Loser, pay for your own damn health care!
-- Oh wait, there was an update? We have a correction here at, done that? After stating he was unemployed and without medical insurance, Mr. Gladney now states he has medical coverage under his wife's plan but will continue to accept those generous donations to help out with the being 'unemployed' part of his story.
- Watch this video and at 35 seconds in you meet Mr. Gladney. He's in the light brown shirt. Does he need that wheel chair or is he the country's new drama queen?


The definition of clueless
"Rick Santorum, the former Republican senator who infamously likened homosexuality to bestiality, is heading to Iowa this fall, signaling an interest in a 2012 presidential bid ... "

Rick 'ManDog' Santorum lost his Senate seat in 2006 to Wimpy Bob Casey Jr., 60%-40%. When you look at Rick Santorum you can tell, there's nobody home...

The Timothy McVeigh Wannabe's
The thought of a Black President too hard to take
Town-hall protesters may say they’re angry about health-care plans, but their battle cries echo those of the militias that terrorized America in the '90s. - Perhaps the biggest difference between the current militia resurgence and the ’90s version is that racial grievance now plays a much more explicit role.

I say we don't wait this time. We know it's happening. Track these Nazi-lovin' punks down and take them out! Certainly no loss to society and it saves the innocent.

It's good they didn't take those lions ..
An Anne Arundel County woman discovered someone had broken into her home and stolen her belongings. Then, to top it all, she later saw those items at a neighbor's yard sale.

Isn't that the Jon & Kate +8 guy?
"A man killed in a 17-hour siege on Saturday was not Indonesia's most wanted militant, Noordin Mohammed Top, police said today. Top, blamed for the Bali bombings in 2002 and 2005, which killed more than 200 people, was believed to be dead after counterterrorism officers stormed a mud-walled farmhouse in central Java. But tests comparing the body's DNA with members of Noordin's family came back negative. But tests comparing the body's DNA with members of Noordin's family came back negative .. "

Don't call that Bitch a lying hypocrite!
Palin was for killing Grandma before she was against it

"... On April 16th 2008, then Gov. Sarah Palin endorsed some of the same end of life counseling she now decries as a form of euthanasia. In a proclamation announcing “Healthcare Decisions Day,” Palin urged public facilities to provide better information about advance directives, and made it clear that it is critical for seniors to be informed of ... the need to plan ahead for healthcare decisions, related to end of life care ..."

Wow. That was only 16 months ago. She's either very, very dumb or she's a pathological liar. Or maybe both.

Uh oh, Harry joined a reeducation camp

It’s every mother’s worst nightmare: Your child willingly volunteers to work for a shady outfit you suspect of brain-washing — possibly in a bad neighborhood to boot. But this morning the world knows that’s the agony faced by U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, whose son Harrison is a Teach for America volunteer.

Poor Looney Michele. We here at 'done that' have a very special place in our hearts for Congresswoman Bachmann; she was the very first Limbaugh Award winner. And she's gotten even goofier over the many years. Seems the Congresswoman was bad-mouthing Americorp a few months back - even going so far to clarify, "As a parent, I would have a very, very difficult time seeing my children do this [join Americorp].” Yeah well, you guessed it.

Good for Michael Vick!

Philadelphia — Fans in this sports-obsessed city were divided over the Eagles’ signing of Michael Vick, but they were united in at least one emotion: shock.

The man paid his debt. He deserves another chance.

Because she couldn't shoot straight
HOUSTON — Lynette A. Fromme, the waifish acolyte of Charles Manson who tried to kill President Gerald R. Ford in September 1975, was released on parole from federal prison in Texas on Friday morning after spending three decades behind bars, a prison official said. At 8 a.m., Ms. Fromme, 60, walked out of the Federal Medical Center Carswell, a prison and hospital complex in Fort Worth.

What a country. Let that goofy bitch out of prison because she missed?

We can just continue with the way it is
And they ask, 'why vilify the insurance companies'?
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan has received state approval to increase its rates an average 22 percent for its individual and group conversion product lines. The rates would go into effect Oct. 1.

BCBS of Michigan wanted a 56% increase and had to be talked down to 22%. When it comes to health care ... we're screwed anyway we go. Until Americans buy a fucking clue and realize we don't need to pay insurance companies hundreds of billions of dollars to stand in the way of us and our doctor, we will never solve the problem. Defeat Obamacare-Lite -- Single-Payer, Medicare for All, or stay with the status-quo!

One Month After VJ Day

God Bless America .. and those who made it what it is ...
