Oldie, but goodie: "I've been on food stamps and welfare, did anybody help me out? No."
Craig T. Nelson, in May, on Beck's show:

"What happened to society? I go into business, I don't make it, I go bankrupt. I've been on food stamps and welfare, did anybody help me out? No. No. They gave me hope, they gave me encouragement, and they gave me a vision."


Psst... Craig... food stamps and welfare ARE the government "helping you out".



This is the mindset we're dealing with.

"Keep Government out of Medicare!"

"Drill, baby, drill!"

"Show us the long form!"

"No to death panels!"




2 out of every 5 Americans is batshit crazy. Thank god for the other 3/5 of us.

Pity what happened to Mr Incredible. He didn't used to act crazy.

7. And comedians were scared they wouldn't have any new material...
As long as there are any right wing conservatives anywhere, there will always be comedic gold just a moment away. Dumbass "Coach"!! Suddenly that big blond dude who played the dummy in that show looks like a rocket scientist by comparison.

9. I've seen a lot of that. Lower wage workers railing on taxes of those
earning 7,8 figures or more. :eyes:

15. Mr. Incredible is a dumbass
It's amazing that his thick-headed animated character is brighter than he is.
