'What’s Wrong With This Picture?'Is he that arrogant? Is Barack Obama really that narcissistic or is it true he just 'doesn't love America'? I'll give you my opinion on that later in this post.
Cheney's Plan Didn't Quite Work Out
Iraq Awards Oil Contracts to Foreign Companies
Iraq awarded a contract Saturday to Russia's Lukoil and Norway's Statoil to develop its gigantic West Qurna Phase Two oil field. The two companies' joint bid said they would accept a fee of $1.15 per barrel of oil produced. The companies proposed a projected output target of 1.8 million barrels per day. Southern Iraq's West Qurna Phase Two is one of the world's biggest undeveloped oil fields and has estimated reserves of 12.9 billion barrels of oil. Iraqi officials have awarded contracts to foreign oil companies during a two-day auction aimed at dramatically raising the country's oil output. On Friday, oil giant Royal Dutch Shell and Malaysia's state-run Petronas won the rights to the second-largest oil field offered at the auction. The companies will develop the Majnoon oil field, with oil reserves estimated at 12.6 billion barrels. A joint bid by Malaysia's Petronas and Japan's Japex won a contract Saturday to develop a smaller oil field in southern Iraq. And Iraq awarded Angola's state-run Sonangol a contract for a field near Mosul Saturday after initially rejecting its bid on Friday.
Of course everyone knows by now that we didn't invade Iraq for any reason other than we had two oil men running things and they thought they would eventually get huge dividends for their oil buddies. We did the fighting and dying and the squandering of trillions of dollars but now the Russians, the Japanese, Malaysians and even the Angolans will reap the bounty from our blood and treasure. Heckuva job wingnuts!
Them lying sons-of-bitches!
'Shrinking of Greenland’s ice threatens native tribe'
The Inuit, who survived for centuries by hunting, are watching their way of life die as the weather around them warms.
Bunch of seal-eating aborigines. Haven't they heard that's all a hoax?
They can't add either
(Take your time wingnuts...uh, carry the 2...)
What a waste of fruit
A man was arrested for allegedly throwing two tomatoes at Sarah Palin from the second floor balcony during a book signing event at the Mall of America in Minnesota, MyFoxTwinCities.com. reported.
Would have loved seeing him hit that stupid bitch!
They're not all gullible teabaggers
About six in ten Americans continue to express support for the so-called “public option” –- which the Senate appears to have sidelined for now. Views on this haven’t changed recently. As was the case last month, Democrats favor it and Republicans are opposed.
VIEWS ON PUBLIC OPTION
-------- Now ----- 11/2009
Favor --- 59% ----- 61%
Oppose - 29% ----- 28%
Quite the contrary - a clear majority are not.
Laughed my ass off

That $787 Billion 'Stimulus'
Of the original $787 billion proposed for the 'Stimulus', $281 billion were tax cuts - you like tax cuts, right? - $57 billion went for unemployment - any of you wingnuts on unemployment? How many extensions have you had? Thank Democrats and the Stimulus. Twenty-five billion was for 'COBRA subsidies', another assist for the unemployed, and $44 billion was budgeted for education which bails out cash-strapped state governments. Instead of whining, you need to tell Obama thanks.
Does Steele think he is Tiger Woods?
...A collection of RNC photos (now password-protected) featuring Michael Steele in various (and often bizarre) poses with interns began making the rounds on the internet. As it turns out, this isn’t the first brush with internet fame for many of the interns. At least five of the interns photographed with the party’s “urban-suburban” chairman are prominently featured on the widely ridiculed RNC website as ordinary “GOP Faces.” See the matchups here:
Stupid, incompetent Russians
A strange swirl of blue light seen in the morning sky above Norway on Wednesday is being linked to a failed Russian missile test. ...The Russian Defense Ministry has confirmed the Russian Navy launched a Bulava ballistic missile on the same day, but has declined to make any connection with the lights seen over Norway. It confirmed the missile was fired from the "Dmitry Donskoi" nuclear submarine, but would not comment on the submarine's location at the time of launch.
Airheads for Palin
These people are the rightwing base and the pathetic Sarah Palin supporters who look at her, the original Queen of Pork, as someone who will reduce spending.
It is astounding how stupid and uninformed people truly are.
What Was Wrong With That Picture?
Is it arrogance? Does he really hate us? No dumbass, they're playing 'Hail to the Chief'! What do you want him to do, salute himself? Talk about narcissism...
