5 worst right-wing moments of the week

1. Bill O’Reilly rails absurdly about how it’s open season on White Christian males. Even John Stossel can’t sway him with facts.

2. Sarah Palin’s reaction to Hillary Clinton’s campaign start: Hey, what about me?

3. Michele Bachmann says Obama will bring about the second coming of Christ.

4. Chris Christie: Poor me. Wah wah.

5. Men’s rights blogger: Women with short hair should be monitored by the authorities.

“The fact that my wife and I, who are not wealthy by current standards, that we have to file a tax return that’s that thick … is insane,” Christie told the editorial board. “We don’t have nearly that much money.”

Wait, isn't a thick tax return the result of adding all sorts of schedules which allow you to pay LESS taxes? Generally I would say that the thicker your tax return, the more tax deductions and credits you are getting.
