New Hampshire: New State Motto?

New Hampshire has become a statist paradise in recent years—just like the rest of New England. So it was only a matter of time before 'Live Free or Die' caught the ire of the Democrat party. To more effectively capture the new lack of spirit in the Talc State, a re-imagined motto is expected to replace the current politically incorrect one by the end of 2009:

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

Only 27% believe Obama spending spree helps the economy

Open letter from ACORN

Greetings, generic stupid idiot (most likely a poor little
disenfranchised Democrat), will you please make the switch to digital
tv already so we don't have to keep hearing those freaking commercials
anymore warning you about how your tv won't work anymore if you don't
get off the couch and use your guv'ment coupon to get your set fixed.
Could you please finish off your morning bottle of night train and do
this? Maybe you could make this your goal for the year. No pressure
though. It's not like anyone else expects anything from you. Just
remember to vote Democrat in November... There's a vile of crack in it
for you.

Love, hope, change, audacity & kisses,
ACORN

David Letterman's Sick Excuse

So Letterman claims that he was not making fun of 14 year old Willow Palin when he said that she was raped by Alex Rodriguez during the 7th inning stretch of the Yankee game, he had meant to insult her sister Bristol instead. Well, since Bristol is 4 years older, I guess everything is alright.

"Green" website actually increases energy usage

Concerning a site named Blackle which is supposed to swap Google's
white background for a black one to supposedly save energy, Macworld
says this...

Mea culpa: Upon further review, we have to agree that a "black" Google
won't reduce the energy consumption of a modern LCD display; it would,
as you say, cut consumption only for a CRT.

Corzine Using Jon Bon Jovi to Court the Mediocre Vote

Tax-crazy governor Jon Corzine is dangling neutered 80s rocker Jon Bon Jovi as a reward for people who raise money for Corzine’s reelection campaign. Of course most people who join this contest will lose, but that's okay because Corzine will collect their money too.

Bonus quiz: What's worse? Bon Jovi or the pasty, bloated Tom Hanks of recent years?

Fighting FOR Voter Fraud in Texas

Joe Straus, speaker of the Texas House, has attacked Democrat stalling tactics concerning the anti-voter fraud bill which has enough votes to pass if a vote could be taken. Unfortunately, the delaying tricks will probably keep the voter-protection law from passing before the end of the current session. Strange how the Democrats never seem to fight for the average American, but they really get their hackles up when it comes to protecting voter fraud.

Dozens of cars have been smashed, 14 people injured and 46 arrested in riots by Muslim migrants over the alleged defacing of a Koran by a policeman.

Police fired tear gas and stun grenades at hundreds of protesters outside Parliament in the city centre.

Police said they would investigate the allegation that an officer tore up an Iraqi migrant's Koran while checking his identity papers in Athens last week. "But this isolated incident cannot justify these acts of violence," said Interior Minister Christos Markoyiannakis.
