I mean, I guess that's more likely than me letting you beat me at fantasy football, but it ain't gonna happen.

They probably both like bacon.

That immolation story is pretty sick though, very clear sign of desperation. How much of a soulless asshat do you have to be to call that person a failure as your first reaction?

Also, lol at 20mil savings, we probably spend more than that on catering for parliament every year.

Considering that Tor is probably partly being operated by the NSA this might not work out that well.

I saw a screenshot yesterday of someone (him?) on his show explaining Obamacare whilst wearing a Gorn mask.

He either does a great job acting crazy to make money off crazies or he is just the head crazy of a group of crazies.

I don't believe he believes half the crap he says, but he knows that's what his listeners will love. Fear is a great way to make people buy crap.

I should start a webpage about a made up conspiracy. Sell a book and video on the webpage. Post some vids on UToobz and create fake accounts to comment on the vids being the truth. Then just watch the money pour in!

'No' looking pretty strong, this is a mild surprise and a bit of a black eye for the government. Best guess is apathy/shallow support among the rural Yes base and some element of protest vote, ie rejection of anything the govt proposes. Need to examine how the other proposition being voted on fares to see if the latter is a real factor.

What's up with Republican House members and thinking the shutdown doesn't affect them? First park ranger guy now Issa thinks his case should be pushed through.

Nothing important, just showing that Fox and Friends is clueless about anyone who isn't white.

LOL LONDON!

LONDON -- LONDON (AP) — An alcoholic British mother who let her 4-year-old son starve to death and left his body in a cot for almost two years was sentenced Friday to 15 years in jail.
