I always forget about this gem. Twitter just reminded me of it.
Everyone needs to watch this 3 times, and then remember these words:
"It's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."
R.I.P. George Carlin. We never really appreciated you in your time. We miss you and we need you. Come back when you're ready. Maybe we'll still be here. Maybe.
I never get over the fun we have intervening in the monumentally stupid Teaparty movement. What isn't controlled by a top-down hegemonic effort like Americans for Prosperity and FreedomWorks, gets continuously gamed by an army of two-bit right wing entrepreneurs trying to make a buck off of this rabid right Hatriot movement.
I'm going to keep a running list of some of the high points of our Teabag punks.
Wwe get ahold of their conference call plans, and summon some fun lefties to sit in. Much hilarity ensues:

One of my very first posts to this blog (still not quite ready for prime time), and it's a gem, to my limited mind. In response to the stealthy and disingenuous screed by Stephen Hayward (AEI) on Sunday, this letter was sent to the Washington Post.
Short and sweet, it takes just 100 words to eviscerate conservatism better than 10,000 word essays by some pretty bright progressives ever seem to do. I may print wallet cards with it. I've posted a permanent page to warehouse it for all time!
